The Good Morning Thread

[JFish350]

I think someone got Christmas break confused with spring break️️
 

Good morning Folks

no golf today, at least not till this afternoon. Mid to high 40s today. The white stuff should be gone later today. 

Car shopping for the wife from my lounge chair and golf on the tv. What I should really do is go change the wheels on the quad. If thats what I do it’ll be coffee and Baileys. 

have safe and wonderful day.

Wow! Late in the year for snow in Portland!!  My wife heard that Spokane got 4" last night.  That's 140 miles north of us... we got nothing.  But it was 34º this morning.  

We have a 9:30 tee time.  It won't get above 50º by the time we finish... and we have a breeze!!  Just finished coffee and toast, and headed to the course.

Years ago we had a car like that. We'd park the car in a grocery store lot far away from the front with no cars around and come out to see someone put a dent in it. We had so many instances that the body shop guy mentioned he wanted to give us a 'frequent shopper' discount. That was in addition to the mechanical issues! Finally sold the car and rarely would someone put a dent in it. 

Haha well.. had my first Suburban while I was still commuting to the city .. parked in one of the railroad's lots .. carefully, I thought .. car got dented three times over a few years while just sitting there...

Another time visiting friends, staying overnight, parked in front of their house in a suburban area .. came out the next morning to find a huge dent along the street facing side...

And... One time stopped at a stop sign, waiting for the car in front of me to cross to the further lane .. have my head turned watching oncoming traffic .. bang! .. they had decided not to cross and BACKED UP INTO ME...

Later on donated that Sub to an auto school and got a newer model .. well one time I'm stopped, fully, at a red light and kinda daydreaming minding my own business .. bang! .. somebody comes straight into me from behind, but fortunately at slow speed though still enough to fully crush the whole tailgate...

Turns out that model year had recurring TCM issues / recalls so traded for the then new model year - and whew got away with zero "customizations" while I had it!

Time for the grain.  House smells like the bread aisle in the grocery store.

Just my regular pale ale all year round beer.  If it’s empty I make more no matter the season.  Sometimes I take the extra time to clarify it before kegging.  Others I’ll leave it hazy.  Doesn’t change how it tastes, just appearance

Good afternoon. I'm still posting here, because when you sleep in til 12:10pm, this is morning time.

Getting 11 hours sleep was amazing. I needed that. But now my back is stiff, going to have to do extra stretches. 

Maybe meeting a friend later at the indoor golf, he wants to check out the place as a possible haven for getting work done. His 2 year old is at the phase where he wants to "help" daddy arrange his papers and he'll fill in tapping the keyboard if my buddy strays from his laptop.

Makes hosting parties “Super Bowl etc” nice heh.

I'm not too social, but I'd entertain myself there every day.

Guess I should move to a different part of Wisconsin (or much farther south).  The Milwaukee area isn't so lucky this morning.  Winter storm warning until 4pm.  5-9" of snow with winds gusting to 35mph.

Happy spring everyone!

Where are you at in WI, Bucky? My uncle who lives down my Monroe got 8”!

DAMN Dude, That's a set up. Ive been telling myself to do this for years. I have a buddy here that does his own brewing as well and helped me make a batch that was pretty tasty. 

looks like a summertime meetup is in order in your next of the woods.

I say that knowing there is no way I cold make it this year. Already taking most of June off, I think my working days is like 7 for June. and then another 8 days off in early July.

A very late good morning from the afternoon side in WNY, lots of wind after this morning's downpours but still a great golf related day with a drive over to my new "home course" at Elma Meadows Golf Course of the Erie County Parks system to buy my season pass.  Hot coffee mug kept me company for the drive and wait in line. 

Interesting note is my member number for the Buffalo Olmstead Parks is 3882 and today's sequential member number for the Erie County Parks is 3881, and people are likely to call it coincidence, thank goodness I wasn't after the guy behind me or I would not know which card I was looking at if just looking at the member number.

I'm grew up in Sauk City, so I know exactly where Reedsburg is.  Now I live in Pewaukee (Milwaukee suburbs).

Oh nice! My brother lives and teaches in Milwaukee

Good morning all!! Late start for me today, finally got the sleep a little bit for once. Can’t believe I’m the first one in here this morning. Hope it’s a great day for everyone! The sun is shining here and drying everything out from yesterdays soaking 

[sirchunksalot]

Good morning! It's a later start than normal than normal @Triple_Putt. Today is my one day off and I took the opportunity to not wake up at 3 a.m., although I woke up at 1 and 5 just because my body hates me. My coffee is fresh and delicious and the animals are happy to have daddy home to cuddle with.

We'll be going out later to run our Sunday errands and it'll be nice to spend quality time with my better half. 

@GolfSpy_APH, I feel for you this week with the time change. I had forgotten when it happened over there until they told second shift they were shutting down at 9 p.m. to accommodate it because it would mess up our systems. We're connected to Germany and all our stuff runs through them. 

I hope everyone has a wonderful Sunday!

[GolfSpy_KFT]

Good morning all. Beautiful sunny Sunday morning in my neck of the woods. I’ve got a bit of a heavy heart today as I learned last night that my high school athletic trainer passed from a long battle with cancer. She was a very influential factor in my life and a large reason I chose the career path I took. She will be missed by many, but is now in a better place. Hope everyone has a great day today. 

[tony@CIC]

Morning everyone! It's a day off from golf for me - need to clean the house. Will probably watch a bit of the Dell Match Play along with the Ladies Drive On event. Maybe even convince myself to hit the gym. 

Hope everyone has a great Sunday 

[EasyPutter]

Good morning from a bright sunny but chilly WNY on this Sunday  only just getting the coffee on, had a late wakeup (so refreshing to wake without alarm and realize I'll be 2 hours into work same time tomorrow) and one of the corgis is less responsive than usual, not wanting to climb stairs, go outside or eat regular food.  They're 13 this year so keeping an eye on her.  So first job delaying coffee was a run to the grocer for soft foods that have worked magic on her for past episodes of ill health.  Hope golf is a part of your day 

[Rickp]

GM, late start, up @6:30.  Did some yard work early, helped SWMBO with a couple things and off to the gym soon.  
catch some of the match play later.

[richk9holes]

Happy Sunday, AM people. I'm watching the Champions Tour and making coffee. Have a 2:45pm tee time at Gambler Ridge.

[Lee Stanek]

Had a great time at the sim yesterday. We Hit some good shots and some not so good shots.  More to work on but had a lot of fun.

Up early to get to the church to do some repairs before the first mass. A couple of kneelers for the pews had decided to give out so loaded up the good old air compressor and finish nailer and got them back in.

Came home to some breakfast casserole and whipped up some bacon (enough for seconds @Jnoble89) and a second cup of coffee.

Headed out for a walk and the kids to ride their bikes on a close by trail to wrap up the early afternoon. 

Beef stew is in the crock pot so golf when we get back from the walk

Sounds like a great day. We are gonna do a long walk with the dog later this afternoon as it warms up here.

Good morning folks!  Still counts as morning because I’m still drinking coffee!

It’s nice out today and I think it’s going to be time to fix the van’s power sliding door. The cable snapped a while back and I finally have all the parts to fix it. 

[berkeleybob]

Good morning West Coasters! And to the rest, good day. Sun is shining, snow is falling, temps are dropping—and yet I’m smiling. We jumped an hour this morning, which means it’s summertime! Ooh, I can’t wait for brighter days ahead.
