Thanks for the advice BIG STU!  My doctor said I could start chipping and gradually work up to a full swing as long as there is no pain.  

Exactly heed his advice

All I can do is echo @BIG STU. You definitely don't wanna be going through all of that again during the season. We know it's frustrating as......... but in the long run you'll be a lot better off for it

How am I starting my morning? Dentist office addressing a toothache.

Otherwise, the coffee was good this morning, the sun is out, the weekend is a day away, and golf time is soon on my horizon again, hence my increased activity here.

Happy Friday everyone! Right now I'm just basking in my weekday routine of sitting in the parking lot at work enjoying my coffee and browsing the internet before making the trek into the plant. I love having a little time to myself to mentally prepare for the day ahead. 

Sometimes, it's the best moment of the day.

I used to do the same thing especially trucking. Get to the yard early fire the truck up early after the pre trip inspection. Get settled in the seat ready to go. When I was racing I got to the line up or staging area early gave me time to clear my mind and triple check my belts and helmet strap and settle down in the seat. I actually used to get so relaxed in the race car in staging I would go to sleep. When we got the warning flag to pull out the guys who raced with me weekly knew to tap my bumper or one of the officials would bang on the top of the car. One time MUSC was running tests for the med students to study heart rates on race car drivers. One of my good friends who I raced with ( and is now a MD himself) was helping run the test and he did not race that night. One of the students was monotoring me and exclaimed that something was wrong with his equipment that it was showing a low heart and respritory rate. My bud said bet it was car #39 which was me. Told the student watch this and he went down and banged the top of my car. Rates went up. He told the student that I was the only person he ever saw that could go from totally relaxed to WFO in the drop of a hat. During the race my heart rate went up some and the student was concerned. Now this was where my bud's racing knowledge came in. He told the guy naah he is not scared or anxious he is fighting the handling on the car a bit. LOL he could not resist he got on the radio and told me fighting it a little there Stuey? I told him yeah it was handling like a Mack dump truck with the tandems out of line.

There are a few facilities there. I coached the Danish womens team at worlds back in 2018. Have several friends in Copenhagen and explored the city for a few days a few years back. 

It is a great, fun and social sport  much like golf... just colder.

Friday morning best wishes to everyone.  Coffee in the Corkcicle mug that keeps it hot for longer than it takes to get the last drop.  Cereal was in the kitchen extension watching the windstorm moving past and with temps above freezing nothing really to see at all, the eaves lights making the backyard glow before dawn.

Today is go-time for payroll, the end of the 2-week timecard period for the agency.  Logged on early to get systems online, pull reports to see if anything could be a barn burner, make sure no employees HR actions bumped them into the default Time&Leave group and put back those that did to enable timekeepers heavy workload on Timecard Friday.  Reach out to the team to establish a positive working climate so they know support is one click away.  Monitor and assist timekeepers and supervisors while nursing this morning's brew Wegmans Breakfast Blend medium roast.

Wife on her way to work, daughter about to leave for work, Corgis taking up their positions to slumber the morning away.  On we go, with MGS on my personal computer to the side which helps keep mind sharp in slower moments during workday.

FWIW- I had rotator cuff repair on one shoulder and tenodesis on the other and, as hard as it was for me to follow their guidance, I did and they both worked out fine in the long run. They were also both scheduled in the "off season" for that exact reason

Weekends are often slow here on the forum. Often weekends are nice to relax and enjoy a bit of a sleep in. Unfortunately not for me. Weekends are stacked busy and often my busiest days of the week. 

Had a good morning with Ivan playing and sharing breakfast then off to work and if I am lucky this afternoon a long enough break to hit up the range again!

Good morning! It just hit 8 degrees out here (47F)! Unfortunately, the wind is blowing 9 m/s (20mph). Still, it’s the first weekend since the fall when I’m finally able to entertain the notion of hitting a golf ball!

I’ve been hoping to take advantage of the weather to work on a shed I started building a couple months ago, but maybe I can run out quickly to hit a bucket.

Weekend morning indeed!  Slower and less rushed when nothing is pressing.  Good Saturday morning to everyone ☕ 
tea takes the place of coffee when not heading out the door to something, orange pekoe English Breakfast blend.

Jobs are already filling in, vacuuming, son coming in from RIT to go to Buffalo Sabres Hockey with his grandfather downtown noonish, my own day ramping up in afternoon for the first of 6 consecutive Saturday afternoons, PGA HOPE golf session at Wildwood CC using their indoor simulators.  I've stayed active with the Western NY PGA HOPE program since my first session in 2018.  Much more going on with it for 2023 that will be shared in future posts.

Time to finish this one, son is on his way and must be done with jobs before he arrives.

Weekends are for early morning cartoons in bed (for the kids) and a few hours of not having to go anywhere (for the adults).

kicked up some pancakes with my helper and played fetch with the dogs in the brisk air.
