Irrigation systems are great until their not.  Finally have my system straightened out now have to redo coverage of some zones.

The previous owner is a nice guy, but he was an idiot when he put in the zones and heads.  I'm still wrestling with his idiocy.  

Zone 1 has heads next to the house on the left side AND heads on the upper level of my backyard on the right side.
Zone 2 has heads on the lower level left next to Zone 1 AND lower level right backyard.
Zones 3 and 4 are OK
Zone 5 is in half my front yard.
Zone 6 is the other half of the front yard AND the the side yard on the other side of my 3-car driveway.

To make matters worse, he had different types and brands of sprinkler heads; Rain Bird, Toro, Orbit, and Hunter AND they are at different depths... heads are 2". 3" and 4".  Some are rotating streams, shrub heads, impact; I'm slowly converting them to Rain Bird to minimize spare parts, but I never know what length I need until I dig it up.

We don’t stop playing the game because we get old; we get old because we stop playing the game.”

GM & Happy Thursday!  Up early, no golf today but went with SWMBO to help with her Feral Cat Colony.  I guess her group are going to try and Trap, neuter & get them to a safe place.  Went to Diner afterwards and had a great breakfast that’ll hold us for a while then gym to burn it off.  
Good thing I’m retired I don’t think I could fit any work time into my schedule anymore.  
Getting ready for next week when one of our daughters and 2 of the Gkids are coming down.  I think our daughters want to check and see if we’re ready for a return to New England, nope not seeing snow ever again.

SWMBO absolutely loves the snow. No snowbirding here. 😂

Oh boy, and I thought mine was bad.  We bought our house new so can only blame builder.  Like you zones don’t make sense, zone 1 is 1/2 front lawn and partial back yard, 3 of 5 zones like that.  Only good thing is it’s all Hunter products.  Part of the front is MP’s part sprays that is a disaster.  Slowly getting it fixed.  
I’m from New England only rich folks and golf courses had irrigation systems for the 6 weeks of summer.😁

Sometimes you can only laugh about this crazy game and what it does to us. Played in my weekly 9-hole Spark Golf league Wednesday evening and was -1 thru the first 4 holes. Felt like I was in total command of everything. Then proceeded to go +7 over the last 5 holes despite still hitting a lot of quality shots. Ended up with a 42 which is about the norm for me, but couldn't help but think, "what if...?" Oh well, at least I can take away the positives and feeling better than ever about my iron play. Last weekend's session with my instructor really seems to have gotten some things on the right track.

First snow great after that not so much.  Our Gkids are all, except 1 are in college and working when their not in school  same with our daughters so when they have time they have a place to go in FL, works so far.  

SWMBO has some health issues and the cold of New England weren’t helping so the move south was an easy choice.  We thought Myrtle Beach was going to be the destination but we ended up in FL.

We winter in Pawleys Island SC.  South of the craziness of Myrtle.  Hole 9 on True Blue. I like the laid back environment. Minutes to everything. 9 golf courses within 5 miles!

Yup, know the area well.  We had a condo in the 90’s in Surfside Beach and loved it there.  We were partial to the Murrels Inlet restaurants.  Played Big Stu’s course often along with Indian Wells and a few others.  
A great area to winter and yes MB can be nuts.  Was there for Bike Week once!

Moring Spies,

Been bit of a crazy week here in New York.  The picture below is from my office yesterday afternoon.  Truly wild stuff.  Hopefully it clears before the weekend and I feel comfortable going out to play some golf!  Hope you all have golf on the agenda today!

Have a great day all.

This just screams post apocalyptic to me. Truly crazy to think about the impact that a natural disaster so far away can have on other regions. Hoping all of our NY MGS'ers are staying safe. I thought we had it bad in WI with air quality levels in the 160s over the weekend..

The only color enhancing was to replicate what the eye could see. 

That looks like a sailboat in the background - what's the make?

Crazy that it was even hazy down here in Middle North Carolina and when you walked outside you could smell the smoke in the air. We had warnings come up on our phones to stay inside yesterday.

Catalina 22, Mk 1 1980 blue hull white deck, swing keel, pop top, kickup rudder, lifelines on side stantions but did not have a pushpit rail so fitted aft stantions and lifeline around the cockpit.

Rigged for single handing and extended cruising.

Nice! We've sailed the great lakes for about 35 yrs. Started out in a 17' Holder cuddy cabin (made by Hobie Cat), then progressed  through several sailboats til we bought our final one , a  42 Beneteau in 2009. Sold it in 2017 as sailing began to compete with golf.  I miss sailing/cruising but don't miss the maintenance and the $$$.
