A very good morning indeed! Celebrating my birthday today and it is the first one with the little guy as part of our family, very special. Since I was laid off 2 months ago, I have spent a lot of time with him and it is one of the greatest blessings I have ever received as time is not something we can ever get back!

Headed to go play a round of simulator golf this morning with some friends and the. Really hoping for a Ducks win tonight to seal the deal.

Hope everyone has a great day! 

Happy Birthday!  The game is one I have very little interest in; it's anybody but the Ducks or the Huskies.

Well, it is nice to know I still have something in common with a 7 year old.  🤣

Good Morning everyone!  Up at 4:30 but not because I'm excited.  Yesterday during my stretches my right knee gave out... very painful!!  Doesn't look like I will make it until next fall for my replacement.  It wasn't bothering me until the cold weather set in, but now it aches all the time; kept me up most of the night.  I'm calling the doc later for an evaluation; hate to do it now before our winter trip to Palm Springs and miss golf.  

We got our first snowfall last night, but won't last too long.  Warmer air is coming along with rain.  Have a fantastic Friday and hopefully golf this weekend weather permitting.

Wow, that sucks!! Probably a good time to get it done though so you sweaty for spring and summer golf

Kenny, you are one of the mature ones on here.. Do what you gotta do. We need players with class like you on the golf course to balance out the likes of me.

LOL!!  Old, but not mature!  I'm not sure it would be wise to have us both together on a course.

Good Morning to you and TGIF to all the Monday-Friday crowd!!

So really interesting call with the Doctor Of Speed yesterday .. even though I'm not into speed training (yet?).

Was gonna ask a question very similar to @Jnoble89 .. e.g. if you're a bogey golfer working on improving your swing mechanics is it better to continue that before getting into speed training? Dr Mackenzie seems to think you can do both at the same time...

Well off to finish my coffee, work on word games and small cleanup stuff around the house .. then maybe a few minutes of "dry"/no golf ball swings and other important retired guy things like that 😉😂

Whatever you do, have a good one today!!

For me with being in the midwest and you up farther north and our limited seasons for golfing.  I always find the first couple weeks starting back up in league in spring that my swing hasnt really gotten worse, but the for lack of a better word muscle tone on those specific ones used in my swing have definitely lost something over the break.  Im hitting much farther at the mid / end of year than the beginning.

If anything hoping itll keep me in playingish muscle tone.

Maybe look into temporary fixes until you're ready to head into surgery + the time for rehab..??

I had PRP on my hip and it kept me going for like 10 months until replacement. Or, maybe a scoping procedure prior to replacement could help keep you going? Also, I've spoken with people who've had some luck with the gel injections.

Our 14 year old dog had a seizure at 2:15 this morning. It last a few minutes and then when he comes out of them he is very disoriented. It was over an hour before he was able to settle down. He seems to be back to his old self this morning but a bit on the tired side.

omg I was already sad today .. it's 2 weeks today since we sent one pooch and it's also 2 years today since we had to send the other guy over that proverbial rainbow bridge...

Good morning! I took the day off in hopes of a little slower morning, but it couldn’t be more of the opposite. Been dropping kids off at school and then a Dr. appointment and I’ve been to two home improvement stores, two grocery stores, a water softener salt supplier and now I’m in a kohls parking lot waiting on SWMBO. It’s also been raining nonstop! 😆

Unless you take time off to leave the area, a day off just means take time off to do things and not to relax.  😂

I'm going to check on that.  I went to the ortho doc a year ago, and they said it needed replacement.  I had mild pain then, but I was fine during the warm summer weather.  It's hurt more since it turned cold, and yesterday while doing my stretches, IT REALLY HURT!  Now it aches even when not moving it.  I'd like to put it off at least until after the golf trip.  I'd hate to spend the trip riding with my wife watching her play golf.  🥴

It REALLY started snowing an hour ago.  Big flakes... we usually just get powder.  I don't think the course will have a weather delay today.  🤣  The good news is that it's supposed to be 52º tomorrow so I'm not going to shovel the driveway.
