This is our 17th move in 51 years. Seems like the older you get the tougher it gets. Told my wife for every new piece of clothing she gets - she has to throw out /give away three. 

I always do one-in/one-out for some types of clothing. But going shopping (which I hate) has a tendency to make me throw out lots.

I don’t say anything to SWMBO, I stay out of the way. Anything I say can and will be used against me even a decade later.
I hate shopping.

I am pondering buying a barbell and weights. I had a thought to myself that I should buy the rubber plates (ex. 45 pound plates) because they would be lighter than the iron plates (ex. 45 pound plates). Dumbest thought i have ever had...

Been fighting with my lawn tractor all week. It would start up and run for 30-60 seconds then die out and not re-start for a while. Flushed the gas tank. Changed the oil (again after having just changed it in April). Replaced the sparkplug. Replaced the fuel filter. All to no avail.

My father-in-law and I started pulling the engine apart and finally discovered that the magneto coil was practically severed in half. Looks like mice got into the shed and chewed the hell out of it. It's just been one of those things where if I had any hair left, I would have pulled it out by this point. Stupid lawncare LOL.

Had a heck of battle with a 14” redfish last night.  Using an ultra light rod it was like trying to haul in the titanic.  Need to get ahold of a 18” so we can have some blackened fish dinner fresh from the water.
 

Had a nice duel with a decent sized perch this morning too.  Keep the drag a smidge on the loose side and dang’d if they don’t take you halfway across the creek.


Oh yeah, playing golf again on Wednesday.  Trying a set up change with the driver, dropping it down to 9° from 10.5°, and moving it up ever so slightly in the stance.

My wife told me yesterday that I need to buy a size up in my golf polo shirts. I asked why (in the body, the shirt is not tight at all). She told me i look dumb because my arms look like they are going to burst out of the sleeves. I said I was going to take that as a compliment.

LOL, its these Greyson shirts. If I buy medium, its going to be too big in the body, so have to buy small. I'm good with the arms being tight haha.

So not only is the mower still not running, I had to spend half the day tearing apart the garage to find a dead mouse. The place STUNK. Thankfully I finally found it.

I might wait for the next time that it passes by.

Kidding, if it is clear tonight I will be taking a look.

One of the downsides to being able to work from home - when the internet is down, I'm screwed. We had a nasty squall come through around 9am and it took out everything. ETA to repair was 2PM, then it was 4PM so I hopped in the car and drove the 40 mins to the office. There's a whopping 3 of us here on the entire floor so all is good.

I have never been a car guy.  It wasn't my thing and frankly, I just hate depreciable assets.  That said...anyone else impressed and intrigued with the new Bronco line?  I showed my wife and to my surprise she said super cool.  It was nice to see them priced for mere mortals as well.  When a Tahoe costs $60 grand, a $38,000 4 door Bronco looks like a steal.  
 

Oh man. The two door orange Bronco with the black roof and the see-through doors? I’m in love. Plus it can be had with a 7-speed manual transmission. Oh yeah.

Unfortunately I’ll be driving the minivan for a few more years and when it is time for a new vehicle it will be electric. I have solar already so my days of buying internal combustion engine vehicles are over.

Haven't had much time for golf, Superswing, or anything else. End of last week we started packing, doing  multiple trips to goodwill, etc getting ready for our move. We're finally in our new place as of Monday night and now even more fun unpacking and figuring out where to put all the stuff we've accumulated but don't necessarily need. My wife and I are taking a break today to head over to Windmill Golf Center for a fitting. Irons for me and a driver fitting for her.

 

IMG_7071.JPG

I'm a little late to this party, but congratulations on the move! Looks like you've got quite a bit to unpack and I feel for you on that end. We've been in our house for six plus years and still have stuff we need to get rid of in boxes. That's the problem with having a mother-in-law that's a bit of a collector of everything, she kept a lot of my wife's stuff. 

Hope the club fittings went well for you and your wife!

We took our cart out in the middle of the golf course last night trying to see it. But there was too much light pollution. Then we drove out of the city and found a little, dark, kind of creepy side road. And there is was tail and all. Wow! Very Cool!

Got my mom out to hit golf balls yesterday... first time she has hit balls in about 10 years. She surprisingly did pretty decent; granted it was off mats.

The leading edge thunderstorm of Tropical Storm Hanna hit us in the last few minutes. My husband just came in and said when they were trying to putt out on 18 it was pouring down on 18 tee box. Bigger rain starts tonight and rain is forecast until Tuesday. How can one storm ruin so many golf days across South Texas?! The upside is we do need the rain and it will make the course and my garden green, lush and beautiful.

My Dad and I are playing golf with her and my girlfriend (who just picked up golf 6 months ago) this Saturday morning.... Wish me luck, but it should be fun! 🤣


Quick update: Just finished our 9 hole round this morning. My girlfriend shot 63 (only her second time keeping score) which I was pretty pleased with. Her putting is her downfall as it is for most of us! LOL....For the most part she and my Mom moved the ball down the fairway with each swing and we definitely kept pace. My mom also hit some good shots and seems interested to start playing again. My girlfriend has the itch and is addicted now. I shot 39, just couldn’t make any putts. All in all it was a fun morning and I’m looking to do it a lot more often!!
