My daughter had the Liquid IV in her track bag. I took that. It worked but tasted like crap.

Biolyte is my favorite, and I drink it every day when I get up, plus take two 16 oz bottles to the golf course, and one with me when I go to teh gym to work out.  Punch and Berry are my favorite flavors, but the Tropical flavor is also pretty good.

Stupid auto-correct didn’t recognize the name of Biolyte!

... I went back and enabled Ad Blocking so much better now. I don't use mobile so thankfully I can avoid that kind of Add Avalanche. 

I don't understand how you were operating your browser without an ad blocker... That's crazy talk.

... Indeed! For some unknown reason, it was off for this site only. Unless I turned it off in my sleep, I had it on before today.

... Well dam, this might be a game changer. Not sure I can deal with this on a daily basis.  Just far too distracting with constant videos running and ads flashing non stop. Somebody royally FU'ed because this is radically different than it was for the last 13 years I have been here. 

Yes, sir!  This is far beyond f’ing annoying.

All the ad chatter from earlier called to mind a Dylan lyric that has stuck with me:

Advertising signs they con
You into thinking you’re the one
That can do what’s never been done
That can win what’s never been won
Meantime life outside goes on
All around you

... Well, other than the pot calling the kettle black, I really can't complain about Ads now can I?

No, I suppose not. However, by proxy I can say that Ads suck a$$, and I think we’re safe

[DoubleBogeyDad]

Hah! Waiting for @chisag to show up in a banner ad now. I'll be watching!

It's RAINING!!!!!!!

I seriously chuckle a little every time I hear or see your Humana ads because "I know that guy", then I have to explain to everyone I am with how "I know that guy".

Your lawn has to be so happy!

While looking for something completely unrelated, I stumbled upon this little bit of joy

It’s like a gif of a warm hug and it makes me smile. That is all

Talk about low maintenance! With all the rain we’ve had in the NE I wish my “lawn” was all rock

... That is the upside for sure. The plants/bushes are on a drip system so they too are basically maintenance free. I have a landscaper coming this fall to plant a native shade and a lemon tree and will listen to any suggestions about any other native plants they might recommend. But definitely no lawn grass.

I am going to have some serious catching up to do on the threads this coming week! Buddies weekend has been awesome so far. No golf today just been on the lake and football on TV tonight!

Got a FedEx notification about something arriving soon, but I don't know if it's my wedges or the Cobra driver. No length specified on the tracking info and no order update on my wedges from 2ndswing... the anticipation is killing me.

... My recent $$$ over seas residual check from Germany, Spain, Sweden and Switzerland. Now you guys know why I don't travel to Germany and Spain. The Paparazzi is brutal! (My favorite is the 2nd line on page 2 where Spain thought my performance in Hero was worth $0.00 )

I could use a maintenance system for plants, I do not have green thumbs

... I wasn't even aware of drip systems before moving to Phoenix. But with no rain for up to 6 months, the house came with the system installed and they just drip out slowly at night and you can set them for any schedule you want or need. It was part of a landscaping package that came with the home and it was pretty easy to tell within 3 months which plants were native as the non native plants died pretty quickly. I capped the drip tubes for the dead plants so now only my native plants get water. When I have the shade and lemon trees planted I imagine I will have to supplement the drip system with a hose at least once a week. But yea, the drip system is priceless.

Twins win. Girls had a good time. Dallas Kuechel took a perfect game into the 7th. All in all a fun day.

Still, getting placed is better than not getting placed

... Absolute worst "job" in golf is the Sponsor Rep in the booth during a tournament talking about their product that literally nobody wants to hear, not even stockholders. I think everyone but their immediate family fast forwards if they can. 

"We are so happy to be sponsoring this golf tournament. We at  ..... "

Maybe it should be actor portrayed instead of the actual sponsor rep.

... LOL, If they let them do impersonations or do jokes sure.   I mean you are watching golfers hitting shots and someone from Waste Management starts talking about garbage?!? while shoots are being attempted and even those involved and supporting recycling are groaning and hitting FF.

For the good of my mental wellbeing, I have decided to play hookie from work tomorrow and play 18 holes in the morning and then take the dog for a long walk in the afternoon 

[DoubleBogeyDad]

Oh boy, forecast for leagues tomorrow is downright tropical. No wonder I've gotten called three times to sub. Guess it's water for me tonight instead of a nightcap.

That is one strange looking dog.

... I started watching the Untold: Swamp Kings last night and I didn't have a high opinion of Urban Meyer before watching but it can't get any lower after watching. There are basically two kinds of coaches below the Pro level. Coaches that think the Team is all about Them, and those that think They are all about the Team. "I saw the visor (Spurrier) and knew I  had to beat him". Just an out of control ego. Great head coaches understand they are just leaders and even then the outcomes are more in the hands of the DC and OC but always in the hands of the players.

... Great coaches fit their philosophy to their players and bad coaches attempt to fit their players to their philosophy. An offense with Tom Brady or Jalen Hurts should be radically different. Got two more episodes to go and imagine Meyer is going to look worse (if that's possible) by the end.
