Happy start of the week!  

@Josh Parker Hope your day improves

@rkj427  Trying to strategically plan my in office day to avoid the NFL draft prep hullabaloo

@ParFore74x I remember the hectic Spring sports days.  We could have a soccer game at 20 degrees or a track meet at 75 degrees, often during the same week

Some Spring neighbors arrived after all the rain last week.

[buckpillar]

All you need is a turkey and deer and you will have a little zoo started.

Good Morning!  

Nelly Korda… 5 in a row including the Chevron.  Just incredible!

Hope everyone has a great week!

Bingo!!!  You nailed it!  Not just patio furniture,  but 2 sets! Plus a gazebo, plus a new canvas for the overhang umbrella, and the gazebo even came with 2, 50lb bags of sand for the corner anchors. 

I still have to replace the umbrella canvas and fill the sandbag weight bags,  but everything else is finished!  Sure hope she's happy,  because my fingertip pads are shot from using the micro Allen key they provided to put 250 screws through every bracket, leg, post, and top!

Looks great, they should have provided an allen key put in your drill to make life easier.

A good morning to all on a sunny but still cool Monday morning. Espresso going down nicely, both huskies curled up at my feet looking for their treats.  Pickleball and the range planned for today. Below is the latest from my artist wife and her gnome collection. Enjoy and may everyone have a great day.

Good morning, Spies! Keeping it brief. I overslept a bit; supposed to be on site for my event at 6:30 am. So I'm scrambling to get ready, and I'll have to get the valet to bring my car down soon (as far as I can tell, this place only has valet parking; one of the hazards of a downtown hotel, I suppose). I'll be on site about 12 hours and may or may not feel like a Fit Fot Golf workout afterward. Enjoy your Monday!

@ILMgolfnut hope that you get some time to look around the Motor City, especially the downtown area and enjoy the free time you may have while in this area.

Thanks.  Strand bulb led lights are next, and a solar fan to hang from the roof will be installed too.

You are a busy man, but happy wife, happy golf life

Morning All,

 

A return to work for a full work week feels strange. I got up and was excited that my gps said I’d arrive to work, which means golf course on base, at 659. Was stoked cause I’d get 9 holes in with the shoes. It’s a little chilly with the wind, but it is 50 out. I put my shoes on in the jeep and got out, went to the back and opened the hatch and my clubs weren’t there. They are still at home…in my garage…where I was practicing putting yesterday. That was a big kick in the knackers. All good though, I’ll bring them tomorrow and hope traffic isn’t bad tomorrow so I can get out. @Josh Parker hope you start feeling better. Everyone, hope you all have a great day.

Good Morning Spies,

Another ridiculously busy week between work, the sim business, and music stuff. Did get a chance to see some amazing golf yesterday, Nellie and Scottie are just not even human ATM, that is some otherworldly stuff. With these 2, I can see them continuing, but you never know. Remember that Hovland guy who no one could beat less than a year ago? Scottie sure does look bulletproof right now though. Impressive.

Cheers and hit em straight if you can.

Good morning Spies!

A chilly morning, especially wearing shorts as I try to get back into the gym routine.  Step 1 to more swing speed at my advancing age has to be added strength.  Swing speed is definitely down a little bit from last year when I was working out more regularly.  Licking that can be fixed!

@Josh Parker sending you good wishes for an improved day!

A very busy day and early week on tap with travel again late week.
 

A little bummed bc I found out yesterday that the planned round with friends this Friday in Boston (we are all traveling for a board meeting there) did not come together due to no private club connections and tough access to public courses.  That means I need to try to convince FABWIFE to let me play late Sunday upon return from MA.  FABWIFE is cool, but that may be a tall order.  Time for strategies.

I hope you all have a great day and great weeks!  If you are golfing, let my jealousy boost your game.  Ha.

Busy day on the horizon and enjoying the quiet house for the moment.  Feeling a little under the weather but ready to take on the day. 

Have a great day!

@Josh Parker Hope you feel better, maybe you can catch a nap.

Good morning Spies!

Woke up this morning with white stuff coming down from sky! And cold mister!! -2 Celsius I guess golfing is still far away. 

In the meantime I have a meeting at the local pool hall for 50+.

We got back home from Mexico a week ago. Not what we call a smooth transition. Several episodes of vertigo last week didn’t help a bit. I still don’t know what causes it. 

On a more joyous note, I received my new Miura irons last week, they were ordered almost a month ago from Mexico. 

Anyway, lots to do this week, so better let you go and get at it. Have a great week all.

Thanks all.  Lady boss is happy, now we have to go find an outdoor area rug that suits her taste.

I suggested the smooth green kind, to which I recieved the reply of "mmm-hmmm" with a slight squint of the eyes.

Wonder what she will do when she sees me with a golf club to check swing clearances...  

Just make sure she doesn’t check swing clearance with your head!

Thank you. It was such fun and an awesome experience. Very grateful to Ian and Mike for making it easy.

Oh I forgot. After a discussion yesterday on the purpose of posting a "profile photo", I changed mine. I now look more like a spy!

Good morning Spies,

A chilly, sunny Monday morning in CNY. Morning golf is on the schedule. Cuppa going down quite nicely. I have a light “speed” session for my run workout but that will get pushed to the afternoon. In my case “speed” is relative.
The SPCA Fundraiser my wife worked yesterday at a new local brewery was a great success. A great musical group, The Horn Dogs, provided the entertainment. They had a great horn section and most of the musicians were my age. I enjoyed a nice Irish Stout. Funk n Waffles was the food truck. They were featured on Diners, Drive Ins and Dives many years ago. 
 

@Rob Person the outdoor setup looks great. Looks like the makings of a proper “19th Hole”.

Wishing all a wonderful day!

I live ten minutes from their Mississauga location and about 45 - 60 min from their Toronto location. I’ve been going to them for years and needless to say I am a frequent visitor to their Mississauga location and build shop.

Good morning on this Manic Monday my spies.  @Josh Parker hope you just have a slight case of Monday mania and are feeling better soon. 
  The drive home with the family CEO was “ informative “ to say the least. We weren’t a block away from the hotel on the way home when the “ Lady of Lost Logic “ started in. She started by saying how much fun the DAY had been and that she wanted to do more of these Soecial Couple DAY trips. While she paused to get her breath, I merely mentioned that the last 3 DAYS were more than 1 DAY. That while the concert had been fun… Trips like this were time consuming and rather costly. The “Sanity Slaying Sorceress” countered by stating since I wasn’t play golf or buying golf thingies like the club carrying tube ( golf club bags to the rest of the world )  WE would have plenty of time and money for such trips. I was able to short-circuit any further discussion on the topic by stating that come late in the first week of May that I very well maybe playing golf again and on the cost front I would have needed to buy a couple of the golf club carrying tube thingies ( Ghost Golf bags ) at full price to cover the cost of the just completed DAY trip. I finished the conversation by explaining to the stubborn spouse that while there might be a need for a retreat for those suffering from “ Tupperware Trauma “ that is was an extremely small population and didn’t / wouldn’t include me. We decided to table any further discussion until I get an update on my Medical Novella at the end of the first week of May. 
  To hopefully brighten this Monday for all I leave this best organic garbage disposal /cleaning device ever, for all to peruse….

Make this Monday yours my friends..

Hope everyone had a fun and enjoyable weekend! And any parents who may have school kids off this week for break - good luck .. my cousin with 3 young ones put into our cousins' group text, 'hey anyone wants to take them out somewhere please do'

Have a great day everyone!!!

 

Oh, PS: @fixyurdivot wife and I watched "Mending The Line" last night (on Netflix) .. really well done movie, great story and if you haven't seen it - revolves around fly fishing in Montana.
