May not seem like much, but I am really happy this thread took off the way it did!

A sunny morning here on a day that was supposed to be garbage. Lots going on so keeping good and busy and although we are disappointed to know as we wanted baby 2 to be a surprise the doctor sadly let it slip and we will have a little baby girl joining our family in June. 

Congrats that is wonderful news

Only 0.01% of trail mix is consumed on the trail.  

I think you're being generous with 0.01% .  It's too good to save just for the trail.

Yup, got up again at 6:30 looked around again and went back to bed again,  I think there’s a trend…..

I envy you. Once I get up that's it - can't go back. On top of that I'm an early riser sleeping in = 7:00 am

Weather in Central NJ is sunny, but currently 42° and feels like 35°. Google says this should turn to 50° with 9mph winds in the next 3 hours. I am skeptical.

I really do hope they're right, but I'm going to Pine Brook executive course either way. The only question is how many of my 5 layers of clothing come off (I'm not a fan of cold if you haven't guessed, but I am addicted to golf so these factors maintain an uneasy equilibrium)

Congrats Jamie to you and your wife. I'm sure it won't be long before we start seeing posts from you about "daddy's little girl" . Savor those early years because before you know it she'll be a teenager.

I’m up every morning 5:15/5:30 alarm or not.  On non-golf or activities day I’m able to get maybe another :45 minutes or so,  rarely past 7:00.

So far vacuumed 2 of 3 bedrooms, Swiffered kitchen, living room & dining room then washed golf cart all B4 11:00. Going to the gym around 11:30 with SWMBO and work on my “AB” that’s singular only have one medium sized ab.

Well that's a busy schedule. I noticed you didn't include a pic of the ! ab. Just sayin

Same... I'm up before 5:30 most days.  Today I was up at 4:30 for some reason.  I thought I could catch some DP World Tour golf... Nope!  Just GC Live from the Players.  Just tuned in.

Crap one so far, tossed something at work that I probably shouldn't have been tossed (fooled me) time to get the waste hauler to come pick up the compactor bring it to the dump so I can rummage through it....

Afternoon check in, equipment that was disposed of has been recovered. I will not say how it was done, but it is done.....Time to shower.

GM, up earlier than usual, 5:00am with coffee & English muffin to plan for my fun filled morning with Bacon Boyz.

Good morning from Western NY where we have right on schedule a Friday winter weather forecast with lots of the white stuff on radar already dumping on fellow Spies to the west in Michigan and Ohio  no telling how it will look when it gets here because this is WNY and nothing ever turns out the way it is expected, weather always has a surprise for us  could be golf next week  (but we know not to hold one's breath)

Great seeing everyone who was on the Community Call yesterday afternoon 

[GolfSpy_KFT]

Good, and I use that word lightly, morning fellow spies. We got hammered with a snowstorm last night here in Wisconsin and are buried under the white stuff. I will be firing up the snowblower in the not so distant future here this morning, hoping I don’t run out of gas

Warmer temps are coming, and this is the third snowfall of March, which as my dad likes to say is always the last real one of winter. Crossing my fingers his old farmers almanac wisdom is correct. We also base spring time on seeing robins and I haven’t seen one yet, but they can show up any time here now. Sadly my bedroom window view is rendered to the white stuff and the 14 green is gone again. 
 

Hope everyone has a great day!

Really bummed I had to miss yesterdays call, that topic had to have some great discussion!

Nice morning and a great start. Ran my dog Lincoln and read some Mitch Rapp. Now on to getting my online town mandatory training (would rather take 50 lashes) but looking forward to the upcoming track season.

We lived in Lenexa many years ago - I still remember the weather - especially the ice storms.

Happy Friday morning!  Probably no rehab golf this weekend with the predicted rain and cool temps.

Happy Friday all!

past few morning we’ve had two visitors driving the dogs crazy:

one big, and one medium sized Fischer cats. I’ve heard them before but had never seen one.  The dogs are now on neighborhood watch!

Funny My big customers are in Lenexa and Overland Park. I'm there several times a year. You know, for business with clubs of course!

morning all

Last night my wife said we were going food shopping as soon as I'm done with work at noon. I said sorry honey, I'm golfing as soon as I'm off work. Mother Nature is cruel. It's raining. Now I'll just be pushing a different type of cart. 

On a positive note. My reel mower showed up yesterday. I got the golf green area down to 1/2" without modifying the mower yet. So, it's time for sand leveling. I haven't found someone that will deliver a yard yet. I planned on talking to the golf course today but doesn't look like that's going to happen.

GM everyone!  Finished prepping the garden yesterday.  I had a visitor that "helped".

I've seen this cat out the window this winter; never seen him before this year.  Very friendly.  Maybe he was happy that I fixing his litter box!  Finished just in time because it rained last night; woke up to 37º instead of 27º.  I see some 60º+ days ahead!!

If you haven't named the cat yet, might I suggest "Socks"
