The Good Morning Thread

[Rickp]

GM, have to leave soon for a 7:40 Tee Time at an Exec quite a bit north of me and a long cart ride.  The coffee and fruit for breakfast will help.  
Weighed myself this morning and at 198 lbs, 9 months ago was 216 lbs before knee replacement.  

[EasyPutter]

Good morning from a springtime chilly damp WNY on this Tuesday  hot coffee setting the tone for a productive day but golf will be limited to MGS Forum I think, could be much worse!  Tomorrow is the look-forward to day with a photoshoot in preparation for something in May, teaser yes more details tomorrow.  Maybe.

Hope golf is a part of your day!

Nice job On the weight loss Rick! Remember reading about each pound lost is like 6 pounds of pressure on the knee. Something like that anyway

Good morning everyone!  Hope you are all doing well.  Still in the 30's/40's here in the Twin Cities.  Sunshine has been good but it needs to get warmer to melt this crazy snow we have.  Still like 8" in my yard.  Some signs of life with green grass on the south facing sides but man this has been a LOOOOOONNNNGGGGGG winter!  Son has a lesson and golf practice tonight so will be fun to watch him work!

Two for Tuesday morning.

Good morning fellow spies! Got to sleep in an extra 30 minutes today as I didn't need to be in to work until 7:00 (normally 6:00 on Tuesdays), so that was a welcome start to the morning! Chilly temps again today but clear skies, should be getting into the mid 40s with sunny conditions this afternoon. Got plans all laid out for the paining project my buddy and I will be working on this coming Monday, so will be picking up all the supplies needed this weekend. My parents are going to take our boys overnight on Sunday so that we have an empty house to work in on Monday (spring break for my oldest next week and my mom babysits in our home for our youngest). Hope everyone has a great day!

Good morning all!

Unfortunately round was cancelled today due to frost delay and missed out on the cut time by 10 minutes (one flight). May still go to the range and hit a few balls, but have work and other things going on as well so truthfully not in a rush and still have rounds booked for Thursday and Friday!

That's a bummer.  Frost is tricky....but snow is worse.  Here is a site I found interesting:  https://www.fs.usda.gov/Internet/FSE_DOCUMENTS/fseprd1045012.html

Wet and rainy morning. Have a feeling plants are going to be sprouting like wild fire after in the nest few weeks. Rain and then warm/sunny next 2 days. Sounds like I need to probabky start taking some Claritin 

Hoping to get a round in with an old colleague on Thursday we’ll see!

I think Thursday might be a high of 40! BRRRRR!

[GolfSpy BOS]

 Good morning all!

Rainy and cool this morning, but I’m seeing more and more sprouts of green grass in my yard! Pretty soon I’ll be going full dad mode mowing the lawn.

Morning everyone! Got my coffee brewing in the Chemex at work next to me (Self admitted coffee snob). Lately it’s been low 30s in the morning and mid 50s and sunny by the time the workday ends. Loving the spring weather!

Thats a good one, my undergrad is in meteorology so charts like these always fascinate me and I can confirm there is still snow on the ground here in New England

[Merlin1313]

GM Y'all- Its a little bit nippy here. Not supposed to be as nice as yesterday- but we'll see how that goes. The past few days have been more hectic than they needed to be-but at least I'm not the only one that ended up doing a LOT of painting- helps me earn my keep so we'll just keep on painting. Hope y'all have an incredible day (fairways and greens and/or a stress free work day). We got this

[Triple_Putt]

Good morning everyone! Rain and drizzling here too. Got the fire going and coffee started, was hoping to go play 18 today at Lyman’s but not sure it’s gunna happen unless I bring the rain gear with me… play it by ear! I hope it’s a great day for everyone!

That clear patch over SE Washington/NE Oregon with the city of Kennewick is where I'm located.  No snow or rain, but cloudy the next couple of days... lows in 40's, which is higher than it has been.  Still, highs only into the 50's.  Dogwoods are blooming.

GM everyone. Up early again today and already finished my second cup of coffee.  My wife and some of the ladies are headed to Yakima to play Appletree GC; our pro is going with them, since our course is still closed for aeration.  I thought I would head to another course and walk 18 holes to keep costs down.

Good morning everyone, bit of a mixed day we took in a new dog a while back and it was going ok, a little high energy at times but overall pretty good. Well this past weekend she snipped and dew blood on our youngest who was close as the dog was trying to fish out her bone from the couch. She has snipped at us when trying to clip her nails, so it was time for her to move on. The kids always seemed to stress her out with their energy. We have a home she can go to and extended family member that lives by themselves which will be a much better set up for her. Tough situation but think we found the best possible solution for all involved.

Hope everyone has a better day than that.

Taking it easy this morning. Doing some work and filling out my expense report for the month. Preparing for two weeks on the road. Knoxville TN next week and then Kansas City MO the following week. Made my first mistake of the day already. I thought I grabbed a container of milk to pour on my cereal. But it was a container of Buttercream. I was wondering why it just sat on the top of my cereal.

If your mowing shoes don't resemble something close to this, are you even a dad? FWIW, I wear an old pair of spikeless Nike Air Range WP II's for mowing the lawn. I am dedicated to that golf life. And yes, they are white and have green grass stains

. Got the fire going

That's one thing I miss here in Florida. We had wood burning fireplaces everywhere we lived except here. Can't even have a firepit here at our condo. On the other hand I don't miss the cold weather that was conductive to fireplaces.

I can relate - we had an Airedale that bit my youngest when he was a baby. Found a home for him - a retired couple; they called us a month later to tell us how much they liked the dog (phew). Just goes to show that some dogs just aren't suited for a young family.

The seller left a ride on mower when we bought the house.... I'm all about that life of luxury now!  Sitting on my tractor with a iced coffee or cold beer.

You are truly living the high life, my friend! I may someday join the ranks of the riding lawn mower legion, we will see how tired I get of push mowing the larger yard at our new house 

But...if it comes down to a riding mower purchase or a golf cart purchase, since we live on the course, I know where my money is going

Had a thunderstorm last night with hail about 3 mm of rain.

Indeed nothing wrong with them just need the right environment.

Good Morning, all. Weather in central NJ  is 40s and overcast. Going up to 50° later. Light winds make this golfable weather for me. 

My 699u 24° from Sub70 is expected today, so UPS will decide. If it comes before 1pm I go to Bey Lea in Toms River. If before 2pm I go to Charleston Springs. If before 4pm I go to Bel Aire executive. If it comes after 4pm I go to the driving range.

Easy peasy, and I don't have to think.

It is quite nice to sit and listen to with a cup of coffee. Just feels good for the soul!

I can also relate- we fostered a 1 yr old Golden retriever  that had been locked up in his kennel all day while his owner went to work. He had no socialization and was hell on wheels. He got our other 2 dogs(normally REALLY mellow) ALL wound up. It would've been completely different if he'd been the only dog. He got adopted by a family in Indiana that had had Goldens forever.

Next step a Zero turn! That will cut your mowing time in half and more time with the cold beer in front of the golf channel!

Goood morning Folks

Plus 12 so it’s  a good day. 

Raining low 40’s should get up to 50, 

Might hit the range later, we shall see. Dropping the truck off for the 120,000 mile service, truck is at 121,334 as I sit in it now. Still a fantastic truck, runs and looks like new. this will be my road tripping vehicle in June. 1755 one way if you take the most direct route. Well I drive like I golf, I like to see the whole course/country . Trip will be around 4500-5000 miles when I get home. 
 

congrats to to Rick on the weight loss and keeping it off. 
 

I think all these show companies are missing out on a color combination and pattern. Nothing ruins a pair of new shoes faster than when you accidentally wear your new white shoes to mow the lawn. They will always have a green hue tint on them forever. 
 

have a great day

Morning to this motley crue

Same in NYC today as most places, grey.  I'm running the city marathon in November so I started Crossfit last week to get in better shape. My 5:30AM class today has me shaking at my desk.  Coffee time i guess,=.  Busy work week but might try to hit the simulator tonight if I can.
