Got Problems?

Packing ? Packing for a vacation ? Packing to move to a new house ?

Yeah, packing for a new house. We close tomorrow and are going to try and get it all moved before Saturday night. I'm sure I'll post in here in a couple days saying I hate unpacking. Haha.

Well, that would be a rant then  Congratulations on the new house and that man cave with the putting green and golf simulator :D

Thank you! That would be my ideal man cave, I would never leave.

I hope you have an email account you use especially for singups and things and gave that one to True Car.  I'm a USAA member as well and did that last year,  15 months later I'm still quotes and emails from car dealers!! It was out of control the first month or two with calls and emails from them.   Biggest mistake I made giving them my personal everyday email

We'll the emails have been ok but some of the calls are ENDLESS. It's amazing how I've never talked to one single person at a particular dealership, yet I get 2-4 calls and voicemails per day for the last 2 weeks.

As background we have the PGA qualifier at our club on Monday. My wife and I went out to play 18 today at 4:30 (generally very fast play). There are two singles ahead of us playing verrrry slowly. Finally around #5 I can see the problem. Both singles think that this is the driving range as they are playing anywhere from 4-6 balls. We decided to skip a hole and go up to the furthest single and let him know he was backing everything up. We startled him because he had his radio cranked up really high. He was apologetic - but really have some consideration. Also our club should have set some rules for these guys as well as advise the members that there will be slow play this weekend.

 

My wife and I are very understanding (we volunteer to help not only for this qualifier but also the MAC girls college golf event) but these two guys were over the top.

My Rant, those damn gas can spouts put on the new cans. Just because someone cant use a gas can should not make it so the spout will not work..I should start making the 10.00 replacement spout. Hardware guy loves the new spout, says he sells the gas can and 7 out of 10 he sells the 10.00 replacement... rant end

I didn't either.  Hell I was cussing out that frigging gas can because the spout was more complicated than a nuclear sub.  Now I'm talking about those red ones made out of hard plastic or whatever because it's not metal.  Anyways why they engineer them stupid things where they are so hard to simply twist and pour is beyond me....

No wifi = no bueno

 

Internet was supposed to be connected at the new house yesterday, but nothing yet. Told me to wait until 5pm to see if it's up. Tick tock tick tock.

Thank the guys that blow up their pick ups!

How does my usual, mid-high draw suddenly turn into a high, block-fade on the 18th hole???

 

Pushed it into the bunker and proceeded to make a miserable 8 from there. It did the same thing as piss me off!

Ugh... Literally just picked up a new gallon gas can yesterday from home Depot for a new troybilt weed whacker I just got. Back to the store I guess, lol.

Speaking of wifi, I'm pretty sure my Comcast router took a lightning hit two months ago. After the storm I was getting intermittent connectivity on the 5ghz antenna. Earlier this week the 5ghz band just dropped. Can't get over to Comcast'service center to swap the router out. Why can't they just send me a replacement one?!?

We had a thunderstorm roll through last evening a LARGE pine tree fell on my woodshed behind my house.  Since the tree was dead and on my neighbor's property which is behind our lot, they are responsible for getting it fixed.  It could have been worst and looks like things will be taken care of quickly.

[Shankster]

Worst round of my life. Irons and wedges on point. Don't think I've ever been so accurate. Everything else just sucked. Driver, 3 wood, putter.

Ugh.. Not my day to work on machines. Sheered the screw that holds one of the drive wheel to my Honda hrx lawn mower.. And I needed to cut the grass this week...

After being t-boned at a grocery store a few weeks ago, I bought my first new car in 13 years last weekend. Just never been a "car" guy. My wife and I took our daughters to a Harry Potter convention in Roanoke Virginia today and had the temporary tags stolen off the vehicle.

 

Needless to say, the two hour trip home was interesting.

Did you use the Wingardium Leviosa spell to avoid being pulled for no tags?

Our 5 yr old 55" Samsung led tv went bust. So we're watching tv on my 12 yr old 40" Sony flat screen. 1st world problem.

The screen has all squiggly lines. Figured it's toast since I can get a new one (55) for under 400. However bigger is better so we bought a 65 instead (was more than than 500 )

We purchase a faux wicker set (four chairs and a table with a central glass top from Costco about 17 years ago of which 12 years was on an unprotected fully exposed deck. Still going strong. It was made by Samsonite when they still made quality stuff. Wife want to replace it just because, lol. Too many honey do lists...

Yeah ours was *not* Samsonite......

Last week I re-gripped my putter.  I had this fatter grip laying around, not a Super Stroke, but I wanted to try out that type of grip and then maybe get a Super Stroke if I liked it.  The grip feels great; much better than my old grip.  HOWEVER, I am leaving most all my putts short; sometimes a lot short.  I never did that before.  I don't think the grip is allowing me to release the putter like I did before.  I've had it on for a week, and have been practicing with it and playing a couple of rounds, but unless I can get the speed of the putts back to what I expect, I will have to re-grip with a standard putter grip again.  Nothing worse than leaving a putt short in the jaws!

Been there, still there, lol. I've always left putts short. Must be a mental thin on my end.
