If you are talking about the chair thing...yes. I have never seen a man that could do it, and I've never seen a woman that couldn't do it.

Different challenge.   This one is you are on your knees and elbows on the ground,  then move your hands to your cheeks, and then put hands behind you.   The challenge is supposed to show a male and female together and generally the male falls on his face.

Looks like an awesome ride and color me envious!  My first digital dashboard was a 1986 Chrysler Town & Country and I really enjoyed it, haven't had one since because my old school mind craves analog gauges with needles over numbers.  So old school in fact I actually miss the naturally aspirated engines and a vacuum gauge on the dashboard, there was so much information from the behavior of that needle.

I remember those dashboards, I thought they were so cool at the time.

Right, I’m gonna do that.

For your entertainment, my take at the gravity challenge. I don't think there are any specific rules are not having a little COG shift.

I've mentioned before that I work for a major auto manufacturer and one of the perks is killer deals on lease cars. I went yesterday and replaced mine with an Audi Q3.20210227_165443-01.jpeg.a0345657926472668aec636f03db5667.jpeg20210227_165502-01.jpeg.c4cd8c03146b80bd3fc80868eb880d12.jpeg20210227_170911-01.jpeg.0c925b0db7b846b29bb96d44544c5e3a.jpeg

I've been wanting to lease an SUV, but never found one at the right price until recently. Our company was offering major incentives on the Audi brand and I couldn't pass it up. It rides good, looks amazing, and I've just always wanted a digital cockpit. Figuring out the radio was a hassle, but push enough buttons and it works itself out.

 

Glad you found a good deal on this car.  This was the car that my wife wanted a couple of years ago, when she was replacing her Mercedes.  Found a used one but it had a couple of issues; one being the dealer.  She ended up with a Volvo XC60 and loves it.

Finally figured it out, the controls were different from my VW. I programmed favorites and couldn't figure out how to get to them, it just works differently on this car. Finally found the "favorites" setting on the radio and I can tune to them. I hate driving to a silent car or not being able to channel hop. 

How do you spell radio 'challenges'? Sirius. I can't remember the last time I tuned into AM or FM.

I can!!  Last week I had to tune to 98.3FM when I arrive at the C-19 shot location at the fairgrounds for info.  That was hard!

Just my company stock. I have a decent amount of shares that I’ve gotten every paycheck past 3 years. Stocks highest it’s ever been should I be selling a majority at this point with all this “market crash” talk?

Diversification is a wonderful thing.  You already work there, so you have "lots of eggs in one basket" as they say.  I would be selling company stock when you are able to.

I'm decidedly brand agnostic -- but a bit less so with my recent change from a PING driver

That’s a hard one. To me, it all depends on how long you plan on keeping the shares if you don’t end up selling them now. If short term, maybe 6 months to a year, then I might look into selling now if you don’t think it could reach much higher by then or if a crash is imminent. However, if you plan to stick with the company or keep those shares for a long time, it might be worth it to hold.

If you look at the S&P and DOW over 5 years, they’re up nearly 100%. That doesn’t necessarily correlate exactly with your specific stock, but the market seems to recover over a long period. If it were me, I’d check out the chart over certain time frames and see how they’re doing. Also, since you work there you may have a good idea of how well they’re doing and if it’s a business than can still succeed if times get tough.

I remember when I worked for Walmart a long time ago, share price dropped by like $25-30 into the $50-60 range relatively quick and people were worried. But now, it’s $130+. Just some food for thought.

Hope that helps at least a little.

Thanks guys. I have a diverse 401k that I don’t touch I just let it ride (have a while until I retire) but my company stocks are just kind of a bankroll. Over the past 5 years they’re steady but right now it’s the highest ever and it definitly has a lot to do with covid as we take on more clients. It’s a commercial real estate group and while they have always been higher in the stock market than competitors the other companies have not jumped as much as nah company has so had me curious.

thanks for the info.

If the stocks are being held in an account where you can do transactions (like a Fidelity or Vanguard) you could put in a stop loss order to limit the damage if the price starts crashing.  Look at the price now and decide how far down it could drop before your discomfort level sets in and have a standing sell order at that price.  The money from that sale should go into a money market under the same account where you could watch the price and buy back into the stock when it drops to a level you are happy with, or buy another stock you like.

My discomfort level is about a 12% drop.  I check it every couple weeks and raise the order sell price if the stock has kept going up but I generally don't lower it if the stock price has gone down since the last time i checked.

Florida man drowns while searching for lost golf ball, authorities say

By Cliff Pinckard, cleveland.com
OLDSMAR, Florida — A 74-year-old man was found dead in a pond on a golf course Sunday and authorities believe he likely fell in while searching for a lost ball.

The body of Hermilo Jazmines was found by the Pinellas County Sheriff’s Office dive team at the East Lake Woodlands Country Club, according to a news release from the sheriff’s office.

Jazmines was golfing with a friend Sunday morning when he hit his ball in the water on the course’s third hole, the news release says. He was last seen looking for his ball near the water.
 
Authorities say Jazmines went missing, although his cart was still parked on a path and his putter was found near the edge of the pond. The dive team found Jazmines in the water not far from the putter, the release says.
 
Friends of Jazmines told deputies that he liked to look for lost balls while golfing. Authorities say the evidence shows Jazmines might have fallen into the water and drowned.
 
And autopsy is planned but authorities do not suspect foul play.

I did read this the other day and am not surprised. There are guys who pride themselves on never having to buy a golf ball and they turn every pond into a “fishing derby”.
Florida can be a dangerous place around those ponds. Definitely a shame for this to happen.

Thank you. I’ll look into the stop loss, it’s with Morgan Stanley so we’ll see. Ideally I would like to buy out now and buy back if it drops down again. Thanks for the jnfo

Dang.... 

Florida man drowns while searching for lost golf ball, authorities say

OLDSMAR, Florida — A 74-year-old man was found dead in a pond on a golf course Sunday and authorities believe he likely fell in while searching for a lost ball.

The body of Hermilo Jazmines was found by the Pinellas County Sheriff’s Office dive team at the East Lake Woodlands Country Club, according to a news release from the sheriff’s office.

Jazmines was golfing with a friend Sunday morning when he hit his ball in the water on the course’s third hole, the news release says. He was last seen looking for his ball near the water.
 
Authorities say Jazmines went missing, although his cart was still parked on a path and his putter was found near the edge of the pond. The dive team found Jazmines in the water not far from the putter, the release says.
 
Friends of Jazmines told deputies that he liked to look for lost balls while golfing. Authorities say the evidence shows Jazmines might have fallen into the water and drowned.
 
And autopsy is planned but authorities do not suspect foul play.

All for, at most, a $4 ball.

I want to know what happened to his friend he was golfing with.  Did he just leave him there and went to the 4th hole?  Some friend!!

Good question I was also wondering.
Evenings (after regular play) we would walk as many holes as we could get in with different guys. Some guys would play course regular, ball hawk or just play from tee box to different greens. Just kinda enjoying the evening, this could have been what was going on here.

I did read this the other day and am not surprised. There are guys who pride themselves on never having to buy a golf ball and they turn every pond into a “fishing derby”.
Florida can be a dangerous place around those ponds. Definitely a shame for this to happen.

And talk about what contributes to slow play! Wife and I were playing behind a foursome where one of the guys had to walk along a bank on a par 5 (almost the length of the fairway) with a ball retriever. Really? Do you need that many Slazengers or Top Flites??  I'm ok with someone fishing for balls just do it sensibly and don't hold up the group behind you. Sorry rant over. 🤐

Got my new GoPro today and had to brush up on the editing skills a bit before breaking it out for golf-related things. Safe to say I majorly annoyed the dog this afternoon:

Going to take a bit of practice with the frame rates and resolution on the GoPro before things get real polished. It's been well over a decade since I've done any video editing outside of iMovie and I'm pretty rusty (using HitFilm Express at the moment).

That looks really good! I've heard those cameras are good for stabilization and it shows there. Plus, that's a pretty puppy.
