The Good Morning Thread

[GolfSpy_APH]

Good morning all! 

Have nearly 7000 signups for the paradyms and the mod team has already started on the short list. 

With some new staff who haven't really gone though testing and such it's fun! 

So many good applications and will be excited to announce a week from Tuesday! 

Enjoy the weekend all and to all the new members be sure to check into this thread! It has quickly become a community favorite!

Good morning from a rainy Tennessee! I woke up this morning to howling winds and sideways rain and thought the drive to work might be sketchy. Fortunately, it slacked off for the drive in. I'm now just sitting here taking some time to enjoy the morning cup of Joe.

GM, struggling to get up this morning.  Once I get moving should be good to go. Looking forward to another 7K worth of people looking for free stuff.

Good morning all, just rolled into work sipping on my coffee before heading in. Rain here all day or so I thought. Hope it’s a great day for everyone!

Morning all! Should be a quiet day, supposed to rain most of the day so going to do some stuff inside the house.

Good Morning all!

early weekend morning start for the me.  I’m about an hour and a half I’ll be talking to 90 or so 3, 4, 5, and 6 year olds about the baseball season and introducing them to their teams and coaches!

Good morning! My little sister is getting married today - pumped for the party!

GM all, happy Saturday! So far, the snow storm is missing us, we are JUST skirting the outside of it. Had dinner up at the country club last night and ran into the assistant pro. Projected opening for the range is April 1st and course is April 8th! I of course have a work conference on the 1st, but I know exactly where I’ll be on the 2nd. 

For anyone interested, I am planning on starting a thread chronicling my 2023 golf season and journey towards lowering my handicap once the season opens. It’s already begun slowly with working on some changes to my swing. Early thanks to @chisag for giving me some extended feedback on my swing and drills to work on and also to @RickyBobby_PR for telling me about AMG golf on YouTube. Both have been big help in realizing what I was doing wrong early in my swing that I’d have not known otherwise!

Happy Saturday!!!! Pumped that Lincoln let me sleep until six. Should be a rainy day today so it's get a coat of paint on the basement walls (hopefully less on me) and then watch the B's with my youngest "SEANNIE".  Need to make a move up the leaderboard at Punta Cana!!!

Have a great day!

Morn all. Still trying to beat this heavy cold/light flu. Hopefully back on track next week.

Guess I should move to a different part of Wisconsin (or much farther south).  The Milwaukee area isn't so lucky this morning.  Winter storm warning until 4pm.  5-9" of snow with winds gusting to 35mph.

Happy spring everyone!

Good morning all!!  Cold here but the coffee is good.  Indoor sim round today with my son.  The coffee cup in the pic is from Ember. Got it as a gift for Xmas. Changed my morning coffee.  Keeps it at your favorite temp!!

Oh that’s cool. I always find myself topping off on the weekends because it gets cold lol. What’s the temp range?

I’m actually not sure!  I haven’t played around too much. The default is 135F but I like 132F. It lasts about 2 hours on a charge and it’s Bluetooth so I get notifications when it’s at the right Temp.

Oof, I’m sorry you’re dealing with that junk @Bucky CC! I’m in Reedsburg so we JUST missed the storm

Well not quite a "good" morning here - yet another leak inside the house... liking this place a little less and less over time... @Lacassem is that a For Sale sign across the street?

Let's see over the years... 1. moved in, got new shower doors - small drop randomly appears from under the bottom (just been ignoring that one); 2. baseboard heating, circulating hot water with Pex tubing - one of those flimsy clamps broke and water seeped under the wood floor in the family room (haven't bothered to replace the floor yet .. area rugs!); 3. two venting skylights - one leaks, roofer couldn't find it so there are still drops coming in from heavy rains (other skylight doesn't open anymore); 4. worker putting up some Azak trim out back with a nail gun punched two small holes right into.. yep .. the Pex hot water line that feeds upstairs (that turned into a big disaster); 5. hot water heater top gasket gave out - the funny part of this story is the builder we bought the house from finished the basement and put a standard size door to the boiler room .. the old water heater is wider than that .. so it's stuck down there until I get someone over to take the door and part of the wall apart to get it out....

I'm sure there have been one or two other leaks but this morning's addition?

So trying to be a good houseboy (I'm retired, wife still works full-time) and run the dishwasher .. sit down in the front room with coffee, dog and forum opened on my phone .. think I hear a drop of water from the kitchen .. go check the sink faucet, nope .. hear another .. yep there's an occasional drop coming out of the front lower left of the dishwasher...

 

Years ago we had a car like that. We'd park the car in a grocery store lot far away from the front with no cars around and come out to see someone put a dent in it. We had so many instances that the body shop guy mentioned he wanted to give us a 'frequent shopper' discount. That was in addition to the mechanical issues! Finally sold the car and rarely would someone put a dent in it.

Now that’s cool, I am always putting my coffee cup back in the microwave on weekends. I start doing something and end up forgetting about it for a half hour then needed to warm it up for the 6th time
