    Morning All,
    So this past weekend went wonderfully. I met my biological dad and was able to have great conversations with him. Friday was spent at his house and he grilled out. I’m going to have to teach him how to grill steaks as the ones he grilled were drier than the Sahara desert in the dry season. I also showed him how to grill asparagus on the grill, so Friday was good. Saturday we went to the Cardinals game and it was so hot out that even though I was wearing a white jersey, I was drenched in sweat. Our seats were directly in the sun and the breeze just so happened to be blowing out of the ball park away from us. The only reprieve we got was in the bottom of the 8th inning the shade was finally on us. Sunday I was able to meet my uncle who owns a boat down around the Lake of the Ozarks. We went out for a good 5 hours on the water and swam. Got a little burnt but not bad. Unfortunately yesterday we were going to go get IMO’s pizza, which is St. Louis style pizza. It’s so good and a must get if you ever visit the St. Louis area. The unfortunate thing was his boss called him on our way and pretty much begged him to take the load that a different driver was supposed to take. He at first declined until his boss told him he would get triple pay for the load. If you are offered 6800 dollars to drive 600 miles…I’m just saying I would have taken it too. So no pizza and we said our goodbyes for the time being. His next vacation he is going to see about driving out to Virginia to visit. It’s a start but it went really well. Still cautiously optimistic as 38 years of my life I knew someone else to be my dad, and my biological dad seemed happy with how I turned out. Hopefully it continues to foster a good relationship with him and that side of the family. On my flight back home right now. Hopefully everyone stays cool and has a great day.

    Good morning Spies on a currently cloudy, but soon to be rainy Michigan.
    Had a busy day yesterday, managed to get the items packed away from the weekend, play a round of golf, and then go out with SWMBO for her birthday in the evening/night.
    Honestly, a quiet day for me would be perfect about now.
    Will work on my posts for the Virtual Tour, and review of the Motocaddy and get them up later today.
    The Motocaddy for me has been exceptional, and a real pleasure to use while walking the courses I have played with it.
    Hope that you have a great day @Northern Monkey, and a pretty neat thing to do with the other dignitaries in town.
    Hope the rest of you all have the best day you possibly can, and that something fun and enjoyable is in your plans. ⛳

    Good morning!
    Off to the races I go with a full busy day ahead. Have a round planned for this afternoon and looking forward to seeing how it turns out. 
    Hope everyone has a great day!

    Good morning all, well looks like we are getting a break from the 90 degree heat for a little while. Next two days we play in the morning so it will be more comfortable to play. It's only June and we're getting Temps in the 90s I hate to think what July and August are going to be like. Play well everyone.

    Good morning Guys. I got the forms pulled on the sidewalk project I did last Friday for my wife. They turned out okay but I would have liked to finish them up a bit more but it was hot and they were settling rapidly. The boss (wife) seems happy with them so that is the most important thing. 

    I got out for 9 holes last night. I shot 6 over with a triple bogey that was just a disaster of a hole for me. The ball was carrying crazy long with my longest drive of 313 into the wind. A nice low stinger and with it being so dry out it just rolled forever. I will be out after work today to play at least 18. Probably more if it isn't too busy.

    Good morning spies. Looks like another hot one today with the heat index going to 102° this afternoon. Add in all of the humidity that goes with that and that is a no golf afternoon for me. That should give me time to get a couple of small projects completed.
    Have a good day everyone.

    Good morning everyone! 
    I just posted up a good morning post over in the "how'd you play" thread, so I guess you could say my brain ain't working right now. I guess my mind is on the shutdown next week and my desire to get this one over. 
    @Northern Monkey I hope you can stay cool in the full bike gear today, it sounds like it's going to be a busy day for you. 
    I hope you all have a wonderful Tuesday!

    Good morning spies. Another lovely start to the day weather wise here but also another duty day. 
    Managed to play 18 yesterday after work. Played ok but it was a bit of a hit and miss round. Driver and short game was poor but approach game was great with the new Cobra FT irons performing really well and the Runner putter still doing its job. 
    Not sure if I’ll get out today or not as we have a state visit from the Emperor and Empress of Japan so lots of escort work for me. Not the greatest when it’s warm in full bike gear but it’s part of the job I really enjoy. 
    Hope you all have a great day

    Morning All,
    yesterday was wonderful, spent it out on the lake of the Ozarks on my uncle’s boat. Today is just prepping to head back. My dad is heading back out for his truck route so the time visiting with him has come to an end. It was a good visit, with more to come. And hopefully meeting more of that side of the family. Hope everyone has a great day.

    I can’t say I’ve ever noticed that while out on the course. I do notice the feeling of the fleets of in on the cart path or walking to/from my car though, but I don’t notice it on the grass or sand.
