Hope it’s nothing serious… get well soon!

Think I'm all good. Took a couple short naps in between some work and feeling much better.

Glad you’re feeling better, like I said just a case of the Monday blues

Thanks!

Haha. I don't have Monday Blues.  Everyday could be a workday or a non workday. I like all my days and most of the time don't have a clue what day it is. Ha

Late to the party today!  Hope your Monday is progressing better than Mondays usually do.  I had a busy weekend with golf a big part of it.  Saturday, I tweaked my already sore right knee and barely made it through the round.  Shot 83 with 3 doubles, but did have 2 birdies.  Here’s the first one on the par 3 4th hole (my ball is the closest one; the other was a playing partner’s chip shot)...

The other birdie was on the par 3 #15 and it was about a foot away.  Unfortunately, those were my typical putts made; pretty sure I only had 20 feet of putts made for 18 holes.    But I could hardly walk after the round.

I wouldn’t have played yesterday if it wasn’t our anniversary; we always play on our anniversary and birthdays.  I taped my knee and wore a knee brace, and it wasn’t too bad.  Planning to schedule knee replacement in the fall.  I shot 80; still had 3 doubles, but only one birdie... a 20-foot putt on the par 4 #14.  At the clubhouse waiting to tee off, two groups of new visitors...

Today was my cardiac rehab day, then mowed the lawn.  My BIL came over from Seattle for another visit so we will be playing golf again tomorrow… another knee tape-job!!

I'm just now getting on the forum, I've had an adventurous evening and not in a good way. I left work and started to get in the interstate when my car decided to get a case of the rumbles, it felt like I was driving in the rumble strip on the side of the road. I saw the check engine light and an EPC warning along with "auto stop/start not working".

Fortunately, there's another exit two miles down and a Walmart there. I called the wife to come pick me up and roadside assistance to get the car. We drove to the dealership after getting the car towed and I should have taken the left at Albuquerque. Instead, I hit Bonny Oaks drive which was not Shallowford road. 

My wife says not to worry, we can take Hickory Valley and cut across. Unfortunately, making a left there was brutal. The intersection had a red light, but coming from my direction it didn't have a turn light. I waited three turns off the light before I just kind of blew the thing. I had been waiting for around 10 minutes and the wife suggested the suicidal maneuver. 

I got to the dealership where I was hoping to get a loaner car while mine was being repaired, but they don't loan cars to employees. That was a waste of time. 

We had to stop and pick up dinner and now I've eaten and cleaned up for tomorrow. I'm going to be driving the wife's car tomorrow since I didn't want to deal with the leasing company simply because I've heard that there's 12 people in line for a loaner ahead of me. 

Hopefully they'll get the car back on the road quick.

This is what may have caused some "repeated" post for me this morning.

@Dead Solid Bogey, no worries, pre-retirement jitters are not even in the picture at this time.

 

Heck. I believe I doubled posted a Joe Cool post…. Annnd I have no idea how I managed to do it. At least for me, I would appreciate the world putting AI on hold until they have sorted out and solved normal everyday  stupidity.. I definitely could use the help.

That’s a rough afternoon. Hopefully you are able to get your car repaired quickly.

Oh no! Hopefully it's nothing major and you can get it back quick!

And I don't know why. But this meme always comes to mind when I hear about wives driving...

Certainly not morning but had to congratulate @Cfhandyman on the Maple Leafs win tonight, they schooled the Bruins, beat them in every category, looks like a good series shaping up

@Jim Shaw we have a series and it’s going to be back and forth all the way.

Good morning!

Up too early but after the extra nap yesterday, I'm not surprised.  Haha. Feeling good today and have a final walk this afternoon for my closing this week. 

Hope everyone has a great day!

[sirchunksalot]

Good morning everyone! 

It's a beautiful, cool morning and I'm just hanging out in my wife's car before work. Hopefully I'll find something out about mine today and I hope they find something as the warning went off before I got it towed. I don't want to be driving something that might mess up on me. 

I hope you all have a great day! 

[Northern Monkey]

Good morning everyone. A wet and cold start here but not really bothered as it’s duty day 4 out of a block of 7 so unlikely I’d have got any golf in even if the weather was good. 
@sirchunksalot hope you get the car sorted quickly and it’s something minor 

Have a great day everyone and hope your weather is better than here

[berkeleybob]

Morning all!

Had an early session at the indoor range today. The place was completely empty, so I suppose everyone’s playing outside today. On one hand, I feel like the wimp that couldn’t golf in 35°F weather. On the other hand, It’s cozy and warm in there.

@sirchunksalot Ugh, what a terrible Monday. Hope you get your car fixed.

Have a good one!

[EasyPutter]

Good morning MGSpies from a dark downtown parking spot by the office building for the next opportunity to be all I can be, at least that's what I did for 30 years, and will Télépopmisik's Breathe on Pandora and coffee hot in the mug just getting my mind around the announcement of the Callaway Smoke Driver testers and getting to test the Max D model ‍ Played 9 holes yesterday on the now open for the season Cazenovia GC in South Buffalo with regular Justin @just52887 in beautiful cool sunshine needing only 80 minutes to finish. Hope golf is a part of your day

Good morning Spies!

@sirchunksalot so sorry about the car.  Hope it’s fixed fast.

I’m off in search of coffee and food!

Lesson tonight with my daughter.  Can’t wait. Willing work to be smooth and productive and quick.

Wishing you a super day.

Ugh.  Been there.  Maybe golf will find a way into your weeks end!

Good morning spies! Duty day today, then GC duties tomorrow.  Thursday is my first charity tournament to play on for the season.  Then on duty all weekend.  

Hope everyone has a better Tuesday than most of us had for Monday!

[ejgaudette]

Good morning all!

Another lovely day on tap. Personally I am attending a virtual conference so things should be a bit lighter on the work front. Also got out for some yard work and time in the sun yesterday. Also first day pulling out the bouncy house for the kids which was fun as our youngest can really get moving on it this year and had a blast.

@sirchunksalot Good luck with the car troubles, they are always the worst

@Cfhandyman and @Jim Shaw Not sure about the goalie rotation for the Bs but it sure will be a fun series.

Have a great Tuesday everyone!

[rkj427]

Good morning Spies on this 4th out of 5 Tuesdays in the month of April.

@sirchunksalot hope they get your car issue resolved quickly Jason. When the lights pop up and off, usually an electrical gremlin of some sorts is the cause.

Normal work day for me today, as Tuesdays are what I call "data pull day" to prepare for later in the week meetings. 

Weather outlook here for mid week is getting colder, with the possibility of record low temperatures for Wednesday.

Make your day the best it can be, and hopefully something enjoyable is in your plans.

I’d like to think so but by the time I’ve done seven on the bounce the boss is bound to have a long list of things for me to do around the house. I can only hope her list isn’t too long and I’m able to get on the course

[ParFore74x]

Good morning spies! Couple of great groups for testing announced today, that was a cool start for the day. Both tests should be fun to follow.

My Stars were unable to get the W against the Golden Knights in game 1 last night. Not how I was envisioning this series starting out  but they should be able to bounce back.

Temps will be in the 60s today which will be perfect because I really need to mow the yard this afternoon. Grass is getting to be a bit on the long side.

Have a great day everyone!

Good morning Coffee! I mean golfers! To work and then 9 holes to get out the kinks before 18 at Black Bear (Franklin, NJ) on Sunday! Have a great one, and if you don't...fake it!

[tdroma98]

Good Tuesday Morning Spies! 
Holy Cow a chilly Central Florida Morning to start, 54 degrees!
Going to Walk 9 holes this frigid morning

 Espresso brewing! Have a Great Day Everyone! Hit’em straight ️

[jbern]

Good morning! I’m up and out the door earlier than usual this morning because I have a conference for work to attend today. It takes 2 hours and a hot cup of coffee to get there. 
I was able to get out for a quick 9 holes yesterday, but No golf for me today.
I’m hoping my LAB golf fitter can answer my fitting questions today so I can get the DF3 order placed before leaving for Florida tomorrow. 

[Preeway]

Good morning everyone. Excited to some of the regulars who were chosen for the Smoke and Autoflex tests. Going to make for some great content in the weeks ahead. Bummer weather week on tap this week with Midwest spring weather bringing a lot of wind and storms over the next week or so. Hoping my golf doesn’t get cancelled this Sunday. Hope everyone has a great week ahead.
