The Good Morning Thread

Recommended Posts

GM all, happy hump day! Light drizzle this morning but mild temps and highs in the low 50s. Snow melt off has been rapid the last few days and it's brining the promise of outdoor golf. Yesterday was an absolutely BEAUTIFUL spring day here in WI. The usual schedule of work, run on lunch break, work some more and go home is on tap for today.

Well, the bad news is, in the time between a temp filling and getting a permanent one this time, I fractured my tooth by biting on a stray piece of bacon (curse me for my love for club sandwiches).

The good news is, the permanent one is in, and I don’t have to go back for a follow-up few months. 😅

This goes along with the Breakfast Wars theme from the other day. Bacon bites back.

Days run together all the time after you retire.  Except on days I don't play golf, my days look like...
get up, go to home office,  work some (chores), check forum, go do most wanted testing, hit balls in hitting bay, go to bed….back to beginning.  😄

That’s a routine I could get used to! 🤣

Morning folks. Not sure of the agenda today, but much like Walter Sobchek in The Big Lebowski, "I'm finishing my coffee." I may indulge my other hobby and bring my sports cards to the local shop, see if I can turn some cardboard scribbled with ink into some tee times.

I won't fall in the trap of playing 3 days in a row. Whenever I do that day 3 is a scoring nightmare and confidence killer. The fact I played well the past 2 days, posted -4 net on a new course yesterday and had spurts of excellent putting with the new putter all point to taking a day to reinforce those positives.

Yes, that is the truth. I just realized that I’ve been at my current employer for almost 8 years now, feels like half that to be honest. Plus my kids (5 & 3) are growing up way too fast. I know the years are going to go faster than I want. 

2 of our Gkids will be here a few days in June, 17 & 19.  Hope the other 2 (18 & 20) can make it soon.

Update: huge success at the sports card store. New customers of his seeking certain names and teams, minor league call ups and free agent signings meant 139 cards in my collection caught the eye of the owner. After some negotiations I walked out with $600 I didn't have previously. Consolidated the cards and have 1 less box sitting on my dresser. 

I went and paid a loan back to a friend, bought food for a couple days, gassed up the car and have enough left for 15 or so tee times. So long, cardboard. As I get older my attachment to collectibles seems to fade. I will likely go full clean out de-clutter mode at some point.

Nah,  too cheap to do that as I want to be able to retire someday and I have have absolutely no idea how much I will need to do that so no spending money now.   Kind of paranoid about having enough to live on. 🙂    It is more related to not really liking the work from home thing.  Been about 3 years now and I miss my coworkers.   I could go in, but there isn't anyone from my team that is there.   Looking forward to tomorrow and going in and being able to interact with people again.
