Well at the airport waiting to board our flight. Talk to you all in Jan. Happy Holidays to everyone and hope you all get new clubs for Christmas, ha ha

Enjoy the trip!

[Silver Fawkes]

Well the Jingle Bell Sog went great! 

It's not morning anymore but we're on to two different Christmas cocktail parties tonight and I have golf in the late morning so hopefully the incoming hangover won't be too bad

Have fun at the aquarium! I haven't been over there in quite a while, but remember it was a good time. 

We definitely did, little disappointed in the ocean side but the river side was great!! Both my wife and daughter loved them and we had a great time. 

[Josh Parker]

Good morning!

Cool morning but forecasted for low 70s today.  Wife has some showings mid morning and I will be on dad duty before getting out to the range this afternoon for a bit of work on the swing. 

Have a great day!

[sirchunksalot]

Good morning everyone! 

It's going to be a wet day here, so there won't be any outdoor activities in my immediate future. Right now I'm just chilling with the dogs and consuming some coffee.

@Samuel09152, I'll glad to hear you and the family had a good time and that's a great photo. 

I'm coming down to the last week before winter shutdown and really looking forward to getting away from the plant for a while. I'm hoping the weather will give me a few days I can go play golf.

I hope y'all have a wonderful Sunday!

[EasyPutter]

Good morning MGSpies on it's an amazing occasion when I post before Jason @sirchunksalot so I'm rocking it Sunday morning in WNY!  Aaaand now I'm not, good morning Jason!    Yesterday Wreaths Across America was an awesome experience with so many volunteers in our newly established WNY National Cemetery that we only got to present 4 wreaths each to the grave markers in celebration of the life spent before passing on.  The photo is not the section we worked in.

One of my playing partners was there and suggested we get in a 9-hole round after we were done, he was not at all surprised I had my clubs in the vehicle and we went to Glen Oak GC home of the WNY PGA Headquarters where the pins are still in and they had 70 golfers play the course yesterday  all walking and the course is in great shape with amazingly fast greens for WNY in December.

48 at our 2pm tee time and ready golf had us done and on the way home before 4pm.

Today is curling at noon and then onward to the rainy south for the week and glad to take my MGSpy friends with me in this thread and others as hopes are for more golf in the Piedmont.  Hope golf is a part of your day!

Good morning all from a damp Wisconsin. It rained yesterday which is just weird for mid December lol. I am not upset in our lack of snow to this point, but we’ll need it on the ground in January/February when the temps really drop. The ground needs the insulation from the cold or it can lead to bad news with pipes and septic systems . I am sure the white stuff will be here before too long. 

Wife and oldest are feeling pretty good which is great. Still have to isolate till at least Tuesday, but glad they add feeling better. My youngest misses his mama and brother, though, so he’s been bummed out. I took him to the arcade yesterday and then we stopped at Walmart on the way home to get a new Lego Minecraft set for his brother. Yes, Christmas is right around the corner, but he needs SOMETHING to do other than watch TV. 

Hope everyone has a great day and Go Pack Go!

Good morning everyone and happy Sunday. I hope everyone is enjoying their weekend. 

We have my extended family’s Christmas get-together which was a lot of fun. A lot of the cousins are having kids around the same time so it’s very cool to see the next generation all in the same house. 

I hope everyone has a great day!

Good morning Spies on a rainy and not too cold Sunday here.

Was able to get out and play a round in December yesterday, and the weather was not too bad for being outside.

Today will be spent indoors on work computer trying to get everything that needs to be done before the 22nd finished.

Safe travels Derek, and I hope all goes as best it possibly can for you on your trip south.

Those who still have weather for golf, and are able to get out, enjoy that time, and have the most fun you are able to have. 

Hope that everyone here has the best day they possibly can, no matter what is in your plans or on your schedule.

Good morning everyone. Day two of the basketball tournament before making the trek back to Omaha. Good day yesterday going 2-1. Hoping the boys are full of energy because the first game isn’t going to be an easy one. @Jnoble89 it was different being up here in December and no snow. The rain has been odd as well. Hope you get some snow soon because then it means we might not get it further south in my neck of the woods. Hope everyone has a great Sunday and go Cowboys!

Good morning to you, Derek! I'm glad to see you were able to get out for a round and it looks like you had a great time doing so. I'm happy to hear that some of my northern friends are having decent enough weather to play this time of year. 

 

[ParFore74x]

Good morning spies! Happy Sunday to all of you. Starting out the day at 37° with 43° as a forecasted high.

Daughter has several 5v5 indoor soccer league games today so I’ll probably spend some time there watching her play. She’s a junior in high school and I think that it’s starting to sink in for me that these days are numbered. I’ve been watching her play for 13 years and it’s still my favorite hobby.

Other than that the agenda includes a small bit of shopping, some laundry, and some chipping & putting at home this afternoon.

Hope that everyone has a great day!

Good morning spies!

Had a relaxing Saturday down in Florida. We're staying in a beautiful house with souped-up golf carts as our preferred method of transportation around the neighborhood. Weather has been a bit rainy, but I'll take 60s anyday to whatever Chicago is experiencing at this moment.

Was able to watch most of the PNC Championship coverage yesterday. Great to see Tiger's walk looking better and Charlie's power is impressive. Now if only they didn't suck at putting, they'd have a chance to win this thing (Charlie's words, not mine ). I think these type of events are a great way to get more eyes on the game of golf. Annika's son Will is gonna be a stick!

Hoping for another relaxing day with better weather, good food, and some football on TV - Go Bills!

Enjoy your Sunday!

[GolfSpy_BEN]

Good morning all, 

Today’s weather will be mild but wet, so more SIM golf for me. Kim and I will be having dinner this evening sans the children for the first time in months, so that should be peaceful and pleasant. 

Have a grand Sunday!

[Jim Shaw]

Good morning spy's

No golf today, I have 3 of my grandkids overnight last night so trying to keep the house in a semi operational state is going to be a full time job, I had my 9 year old grandson at golf lessons yesterday then to Walmart to get a gift for his cousin then McDonald's then swimming, I was exhausted lol... 

Today will be "ship them off to their parents"

Good morning Spies,

It’s an easy Sunday morning. Getting a couple of cuppas in me. Will get a mountain bike ride on the Erie Canal Trail with my wife today. Doesn’t look to be as sunny as yesterday though. But it will be nice to get out none the less. 

Wishing all a wonderful day.

[Rob Person]

Today is rainy and a lazy day. Lounging around in the comfort wear (aka hoodie and sweatpants)

Trying to get the putting mats flattened out for some practice later. Watch the PNC.

Hope everyone can enjoy their day!

Good Sunday Morning Spies! 

Well another Ranger Day was rained out.  Over 4 inches of rain between yesterday & last night causing course to close.  Still a bit of drizzle. It's been a nice relaxing morning. Several cups of espresso downed, working on 4th cup. Putting finishing touches on Final Review for TheStack System.  Wife at sister's house. What a glorious day! 

Have a Great Day Everyone! Stay Dry, Stay Warm & Hit'em Straight!

@EasyPutter just wanted to say thank you for your dedication to our Veterans! My dad was a WWII Vet, Purple Heart recipient and buried in a military cemetery.  Warms my heart to hear the great support by volunteers & placing Christmas wreaths at each grave!  Thank you and Thank you for your service! 

[jbern]

Good morning! It’s a dreary Sunday morning here. The grandparents got the kids Disney on ice tickets, so that’s what we’ll be doing this afternoon. My daughter is very excited for it and is fun to see her face talking about it. 

Have a good day everyone!

Good afternoon and happy Sunday Spies.

I'm back on for another system upgrade for work. 4th afternoon in a row, but you do them when you can and when the environment is quiet (or as quiet as it can be).

Got my office "remade" with cutting the desk off and mounting it to a raise/lower desk. It makes a world of difference to me and my back/shoulders/neck. It's going to be great once I get it all finished up and get my monitors on a dual-arm mount, a surge protector mounted under the desk to clean up the wires, and 2 holes drilled in the top to feed the cables through. It'll hopefully be done at the turn of the year, but we'll see if I can get everything I need.

Anyway, have a great Sunday everyone. See you in the morning.

[Rob Person]

Good luck with the makeover!

I almost think we need a salivating response for some of these cooking posts, especially when smoked meats are involved. 

Yeah there are several guys on here with some serious food prep skills!!!

Sunday evening my fellow spies and there is better than a 50% chance that I will see the Monday morning sunrise. 
  The female leader of the clan has yet to rule on my cost (life,limb, and/ or treasure are all still in play ) of my “ investing “ in new irons to go with the wedges. 
   After the fitting and purchase Saturday, played a round in 60 degree weather but the wind was howling and was more intense than even the wife person is when she is engaging in constructive corrective criticism of my behavior. Played well for the weather conditions. 
  Sunday weather  was  in the 70’s and very little wind. I was playing very well for me. Got to the 18th tee box and just before I hit my drive, one of the foursome made the comment that we would all be home within 30 mins. HOME IN 30 mins.!!! I promptly double bogeyed the hole to shoot 80. 
   I am going to make my myself scarce tomorrow as the “Great Girl Goddess” is having some tree ( the overgrown bushes that the wife person insists are trees ) work done. With all the chainsaws, axes, and shredders being at the house, I don’t want to be there in case she gets an idea she might want to bring into reality. 
    Enjoy the rest of your weekend.

Good morning everyone! 

It's Monday and it's the last Monday of work for me this year. I'm excited to get this week started and looking forward to getting through it.

It's a cool morning after the rain yesterday and supposed to get cold after today. I'm hoping for some good weather in the coming weeks so I can play some golf.

I hope you all have a wonderful day!

[ParFore74x]

Good morning and happy Monday spies. Three work days remaining for me this year and then 12 days off. Starting the day off at 28° and that’s pretty much the high for the day.

Have a great day everybody!

[Josh Parker]

Good Monday morning!

Coffee brewing and ready to tackle the week.  Have to drop the truck off this morning for a recall hp fuel pump that finally showed up and then meeting the FIL to look at a remodel job he wants me to do.  Busy day on the books.

Hope everyone has a great day!
