LOL kinda a easy Saturday for us too. 2nd week in a row the shootout has cancelled due to weather and the 3rd out of the last 4 which is unusual for us. We got rain last night and it is due all weekend. Last night and this morning it was not a hard rain bit a steady drizzle. The hard stuff is supposed to start about noon. But it is a raw type cold rain. We did get out about 7AM and went to the Waffle House. We are back home and have the wood stove going and are inside dry. Not really roaring but just enough to be cozy and take the chill out. We are supposed to get around 4" of rain for the weekend

The rain delayed yesterday and it was 70 and sunny. Now this time of the year the course is crowded with snowbirds. I did manage to hit about 40 balls on the range and do some short game practice. I did sneak out in front of some turn groups and got 4 holes in. They have been double teeing. I was going to go home the starter ( who is a minority owner) told me to sneak out on the front since some of the turn groups were slow. He told me if anyone had anything to say to tell them where to go and the fact I was a Member. I did get 4 holes in and ran into a log jam 3 groups for no reason backed up on #5. For some reason the course has never used rangers. LOL I shrugged and cut across to the club house and went home. I told the cart guys they would be lucky to get carts in by dark. But I think they got some reprieve it started drizzling rain about 4 or so

Saturday's are definitely one of my two favorite mornings of the week. It's nice to get to sleep in a bit, actually this morning it was a LOT. The coffee is warm and the dogs are in a snuggling mood with me relaxing on the couch. My wife wants to go to town today and we might stop by the range to hit a few balls of the rain holds off.

Well, the rain did not hold off and it looks like it's going to stick around for tomorrow, too. I'm a little disappointed because my wife actually wanted to go to the range and learn to hit. I was super excited about that and I guess we'll try again next weekend. Now I'm just working on slow motion swings to try to establish a new feel. Any practice is good practice.

On a positive note, I did pick up a new Puma hat for $10.

Yep!  Saturdays are great!  I get to stay in bed and my wife brings coffee with Kirkland Irish Cream.  We turn on the iPad connected to Dish and watch whatever golf is on The Golf Channel; today… the Seniors in  Morocco.  Great start for the day!

Maybe my new favorite thing. 

Ivan's learned how to clap and anytime he hears clapping on tv he stops whatever he is doing to clap himself. 

So after about of a hour of playing this morning we are coming on the couch watching the highlights from yesterday round and he starts clapping for nearly every shot.

Just awesome.

It's a rainy and cool Sunday morning, but the house is warm and the coffee is piping hot. The dogs are both curled up under blankets finally getting rest after protecting the house all night from huffalumps and woozles while their parents slept safely.

Yep it is rainy and cold here. Done had the coffee and fixing to go to church. I have double duty on the sound board today. My bud on that service called a few minutes ago and had a sinus infection. So I am fixing to go do the set up and run up and do both services

Sending everyone  sunshine from a crisp WNY clear morning under clear skies, with steaming hot mug of tea in the kitchen extension looking at the outdoors all around from the comfort of the warmth indoors.

Quiet Sunday morning and time to reflect and introspect 

How can it be 10am already

Good Superbowl Monday to everyone  early logging in to the agency network to start the two most important days of the pay cycle, the critical days to correct anything that could cause someone a pay problem.

I'm the only one up and moving for work, wife's school historically has this Monday off to accommodate the gridiron chairborne diehards who usually need this day of recovery.  Daughter's school does likewise except uses it as one of their faculty development days so she gets a late start.  Corgis were up of course, now trying to get wife's attention for snuggles or something like that.  

Here we go, only took two weeks to drop from 1st to 5th in the pickem tournament which is more my usual experience, the week has begun

Top o' the morning fellas!  Get your brown juice going and have a great Monday!

The coyotes have been crazy around here. Some interesting talks about how this population has increased over the past decade. Good size guy right there.

Black bear population to, probably not down your way yet but I am sure at some point they will be!

When I was teaching we did not but we did have a lot of substitutes working the day after.  I always taught in the public school systems, wife and daughter work in private schools.  I might still be teaching if I had opted for the private school job offer as well but the job offer with higher salary and benefits was too good to refuse when I was a younger man.  I always seem to choose the rougher road and tougher lesson

Although we are both retired, the coffee in bed is a carryover from our working days.  Weekdays I'm on my own!
