Thanks good buddy.  Shortest time I spent in one pay grade… not complaining, no more wrench turning.

Well, since the house is on the market…

I will be transferring to Hawaii this summer, and I am promoting to Chief Warrant Officer in 2 weeks.  Looking forward to a new chapter in my career and be able to play golf 366 days a year (on leap years) soon.  
 

Could use some good vibes from you all on the house sale, we were expecting to be here for 6 years, but 2 is what we got…

Congratulations on your promotion! What branch and MOS? Hawaii was a good duty assignment for me in the early 70's. I would advise that Island fever is a real issue for those who do not engage and enjoy available activities. Hope you and your family enjoy the assignment?

Start if a 4 day weekend! Woohoo!

[sirchunksalot]

Good morning everyone and TGIF!

I'm glad the weekend is almost here, just one more day of the grind to get through before we get it started. The weather decided to have a sense of humor this morning and turn cold. I looked at the weather channel and saw a frost warning for this morning. 

I enjoyed what of the community call I could yesterday, it was great as usual. I had to go to the doctor for my yearly and all the preliminary stuff looked good and now it's just waiting for the results of the blood work. 

I hope you all have a great Friday!

[berkeleybob]

Good luck with the house, @Shankster and congrats on moving to Hawaii. 

@Preeway and @CFreddie hope you had some quality birthdays.

Morning all!

Missed the community call last night. Hope it was fun. We had movie night last night—Atomic Blonde. A pretty good action film, if you’re into watching a 10-minute, single take fight scene. 

Earlier, I spied on birds feeding. One did not look happy.

Have a good one.

Morning all, hope you enjoy your long Easter weekend  

[rkj427]

Good morning Spies on a frosty Good Friday morning here in Michigan.

Best of luck with the house sale, and congratulations on the promotion and new assignment location @Shankster.

Glad to hear initial results from your doctor visit look OK Jason, @sirchunksalot.

My schedule for today is to help my son with some repairs he needs to complete on his car this morning, and then I have a tee time for early afternoon.

Supposedly getting to about 50 degrees F, and sunny, so at least Mother Nature is cooperating today before we get rain headed our way for the Easter weekend.

Hope that your day is the best it possibly can be, and that something fun and enjoyable is in your plans. 

[IndyBonzo]

Good morning, Spies!

At the office before 6 am to emulate @sirchunksalot today.  Or, to knock stuff out before golfing this afternoon.  

It's supposed to push 70* today.  What a Good Friday!

I had three different, diverse people engage me in overtly friendly conversation at the gas station this morning.  At 5:00 a.m. no less.  After something of a rough week, that was unexpected and welcome.  It struck me how something so simple can positively impact someone's day. It did mine.  I was grateful for it, and hope to pay that forward.

My homestead is rooting hard for Purdue this weekend.  My mom, FABWIFE, and eldest daughter are all PU folks.  Boiler Up!

Good luck @Shankster with your move!

I wish you all the very best days and weekends.  Happy Easter if you observe.  Fairways and greens!

Good morning All, 

The kids start spring break today. The TM replacement head is due to be delivered and it will be in the mid-60’s this afternoon. It is shaping up to be a good day to head to the range.

have a grand friday 

[ParFore74x]

Good morning spies and a happy Friday to you. I know a lot of people have today off, I’m a touch jealous. Weather here is high 50s and sunshine today so the golf courses will be busy but, unfortunately I will be grinding away at work. Since July 4th is on a Thursday this year, my employer cancelled our holiday today and moved it to July 5th for a four day weekend at that time. Hopefully today doesn’t drag too much.

Have a great day spies!

[Josh Parker]

Good morning and happy Friday!

After the long day yesterday, today will be much shorter and a round of golf this afternoon.  

@Shankster congrats on the promotion and move. 

Hope everyone has a great day and gets to enjoy a long weekend.

Congrats on both the promotion and the new station. Good luck on the home sale, at least around here things are still moving all right. Here's hoping that your expecting to be in Hawaii for years but you get many more.

Good morning MGSpies from frosty but just this morning WNY on this last Friday of March and Good Friday to you all  Workday underway getting onto the network for the last time this week from home basement mission central on a zero commute day with coffee ready   Was great seeing so many on the Community Call yesterday and golf today for me is blasting out the door as soon as workday ends to get to the last session 6 of 6 for the PGA HOPE Program at Wildwood CC in Rush NY which starts early to fit in the holes of play that could possibly be outdoors, then clubhouse for dinner and awards for the Graduates  

Congrats on the promo and new assignment Alan @Shankster for what sounds like an outstanding next step in your adventure  

Hope golf is a part of your day!

Missed information

Good morning all!

We have reached the end of another busy week. Both older kids went to play at some friends houses and I did grocery shopping with our youngest ahead of a busy weekend. My sons birthday is Sunday so trips to see both sets of family this weekend. Though to kick off the weekend he has requested stuff crust pizza so will be attempting a homemade version of that this evening which will need some luck. Just need to get through one more work day. Also belated happy birthday to @CFreddie and @Preeway. Hope they were good days!

Have a great Friday and weekend everyone!

[William P]

Good Morning Spies!

Another Friday has crept up on us and none to soon by most accounts!  

Had a decent day on the course yesterday with one exception being the driver. After a promising start on 1st, next two holes were embarrassing so it was put in time out for the remainder of the round... Not sure how long it will remain there but definitely a range session in store.

Happy Easter to those who observe and hope everyone has a long weekend in store that includes some golf. Fairways and greens! 

[Wheelieb]

Morning All,

 

Yesterday I got news that basically confirmed that I am putting in my request to retire next week. I emailed my detailer and asked about getting orders to a certain area, cause if so I’d re-enlist for those orders since retention and recruiting efforts is not the greatest. But with his response, which was not bad at all, it just set the wheels in motion to request to retire. So I will be talking with my Command Career Counselor next week in order to do that. 
 

I also thought I was going to have a 4 day weekend, and while I kind of will, I have to go into work today to let someone in for about an hour. No biggie. Rain has stopped, so maybe going to the range after that. 
 

hope everyone has a great day. 

[Erin B]

Good morning MGS troops! Hope this Friday morning finds you well and happy! I’m not coffeeized yet. Still pondering whether to get out of bed. 

Lucy the Rhodesian Weenback is on the mend. 

The spousal unit is happy about that, and she’s happy I got to get out and practice yesterday. I only played the back 9 at Airport Golf Club in Cheyenne. We got out late from the surgical team so only had a little time left. I’m trying Golfshot and figuring out the app. It sometimes screws up the club but here are the results from yesterday.

The top picture is why I’m using Golfshot. I’m working on swing timing and mechanics. It works with my Apple Watch and measures my swing. Some of the other data right now is inaccurate because I’ve been messing around ant the app has also messed up my shots. But as it learns me and I it it will get better. That’s all I have to report this morning! Hopefully we will all get some golf time today. Happy birdie hunting and have a beautiful day! Wyo out!

Donno if i should say congratulations on you retirement or not. It was bittersweet for me. I miss it every day. Good luck and keep us in the loop.

Congratulations on your decision! It may start out a little uneasy as it takes time to get accustomed to the initial lack of routine and comradery. 

As @Erin B commented I still miss it from time to time, but other things will fill the void.

Greetings one and all.  While no longer technically morning, just wanted to send a quick update on the home simulator project...

The Carl’s custom C-Series enclosure is ordered (96” x 108” viewable screen size)- thanks to my friends at Great North Golf (Stephen is awesome to deal with!)…but I now have to patiently wait the estimated 1 month until delivery time, 

So… following my post yesterday morning about a 1 month delivery time, I just received tracking information from Carl’s that my enclosure should arrive on Thursday, April 4th!  Happy early birthday present for me!!!!!!   Now, I just have to clean out the space and get it painted by Thursday… what could go wrong?!?!?!

[Steve F]

Good morning Spies. Nice hot cup of Apple Cinnamon tea with a dollop of honey soothing the last of the sore throat... today should be the last day. No temperature, chills pretty much gone... goodbye to the flu! Back to the practice range this afternoon to work the driver setup again. 

Have a great day and hit 'em straight!

[Indy_Oz]

Good morning spies,

Chilly Indiana morning (37f), but hoping the forecast is correct and this afternoon I can hit the range and practice greens. I need a full practice session hitting off grass before the weekend round, but what I REALLY need is time on the chipping green, bunker and putting green.

Need to get a couple of rounds booked in for next week as it's spring break and I'm sure the courses will be busy. I have a couple of GroupGolfer vouchers I need to use up in April, so will check at least one of those off the list next week.

Have a great Friday all and here's to playing well over the weekend. Don't forget the chocolate eggs for mid round fuel!
