We were there in November.  Probably going to eventually end up there when we retire.  Really like the Lake Lure area, and my wife loves walking the grounds at Biltmore.  It is relaxing just being in the mountain air.  

Last year for Spring Break we rented a lake house on Lake Lure. Loved it and the area. I admit I started looking at properties in the area after that.

Some random pictures from November.  My wife has all the good ones from Chimney Rock.

Chimney Rock is fun! It was foggy the morning we went but still had a blast.

Safe travels @Shankster and enjoy your vacation.   Driving through Atlanta can make you a drug addict so gird up your loins and put on your Nascar helmet!

Thanks OG.  Currently enjoying some Tybee Island North Beach.

I've heard another remedy is to take about 6 yellow balls out to a water hole and chunk them into the drink as a sacrifice to the golf gods!    The risk to such a remedy is dealing with bad karma from @Yellow Ball for at least a week.    I've recently survived the bad karma phase and am stronger now that I am on the other side!  

For even mentioning such a thing could indeed cause bad karma to come back at any time.

Just waiting for all the northern guys to start filling up the how did you play thread. So much fun to pick on as they come out of hibernation.

When driving through Atlanta, make it during late night and be packing.

True that.  We’ve heard the stories from the Snowbirds.  It’s not good.

St. Augustine is not my style… at least during spring break.  Place is a zoo.

Got that right.

Despite my best efforts to avoid getting extremely sunburnt… I failed, miserably.  SPF 1000 couldn’t save my pale northern skin from the Floridian rays… you’d think I was in Boston, I’m twins with the Lobsta right now.

Good news is, I got to get a new sun hoody.

Just think, when you sell that club or clubs you will most likely get a 1099.

Was going to go to the range today to hit some golf balls but it’s been super windy. Wind gusts over 40 means not good practice weather as I won’t be able to tell if I’m doing something wrong or it was the wind.

It was finally my turn…it successfully ran through the house and I get to spend the next five days with a decent head cold and some chills and aches.

 But if he sells them for less than he paid for them, will he be able to claim the loss too?

What about depreciation?

Surely there must some way around the government grabbing more of our money.

I think it began last night, the test popped two lines in less than 90 seconds.  They all had it last week so they're on the mend.  If I follow their trajectory, I'll be better by Monday.  

Good news is we're in the 60's and 70's next week so I'll have to celebrate my release with a round or two

Glad to hear your fam is on the mend.  Same sort of thing happened when we got it.  The two oldest kids didn’t ever show signs if they did have it.  5 out of 7 of us.  Day 2.5 was the worst for me.

For us it was the opposite. Son brought it home. Gave it to his sister. My wife and I either never got it from them or were asymptomatic.
