The Good Evening Thread

Finally got home from Laramie. Finished Zoey’s closet but found a leak in a pipe in the basement. 

Sooooooo had to run to the hardware store all while getting a BBQ together, told the spousal unit not to use the kitchen sink until I got the leak fixed. And did I mention we had roomie prospects there for the BBQ? Anyway, had to rip out drywall to get to the pipe.

Come to find out the previous owner had cracked the clean out by putting teflon tape (a lot of it) to fix a leak that was actually an expansion joint. So had to cut the pipe and get both a new clean out and new expansion joint. It had been leaking for a while, so had to pull more drywall to let it air out.

So got all that done before eating a nice, juicy, med rare ribeye! Thank goodness my buddy Ben was there to man the blackstone whilst I was elbow deep in fixing a pipe. Good times!!! Oh and good evening and happy Mother’s Day! I’m beat!

That will teach ya to be “ Handy “

Glad to see that the auto repair was successful Derek, @EasyPutter and your plumbing project although larger than initially expected also went successfully for you @Erin B! 

My plans for the day were changed but more to do with Mother's Day and SWMBO son making last minute plans for her.

Did get 9 holes in, so if I combine that with the 9 from earlier in the week, I can post a round in the Virtual Tour.

Hope that all had great weekends, no matter what was on your agenda, and that the upcoming week brings more fun and enjoyment.

Too true!!! The spousal unit tells everyone I can fix anything, so guess what??? I’ll bet you can figure it out !

Negatory............................... went to course close to house which is cart only.

Hoping for Wednesday or Thursday for Motocaddy maiden voyage, weather here back to rain Monday and Tuesday.

I have run it around the yard, and street here to get used to the remote aspect of it, and so far, it works flawlessly.

It is supposed to be hard raining the next 2 days, so golf is out. Why can't this weather happen when I'm working instead of my 2 days off this week??!!  

 

[rkj427]

@Rob Person thought I would ask this question here, as I saw your post about the bubble bath and candles for Mother's Day.

Did you actually try and pull that off on the home front? 

If so, has SWMBO banished you to a "new to you doghouse" out on the porch?

10 years ago me and the kids definitely would have.  Now that I have grown up just a little bit, I value my "golf balls " and personal recreation time...

I’m surprised by the one I’m testing. I have a remote one and love it, but not having a remote in my hand and worrying about putting it in my pocket or whatever is kinda nice. That and I get to rest my arms on the handle when walking helps my shoulder.

My son was in a head on collision today when someone crossed the lanes. My son was driving a 26' box truck, the other guy was I a transit type van and did not survive.   My son is more shook up from the images of seeing someone splayed out across the front of the vehicle than anything.   We have been sitting in the er for 5 hours now, waiting on the results of the xrays and mri scan.

@Rob Person just read your post and prayers  are with your son & his passenger. Very sorry to hear about the driver of the Pepsi van. 

Wishing him the best during his recovery from both the physical & mental injuries, but he has you!

I know it is not morning but I have been away from the forum lately, but I have been dealing with some medical and BH issues, but I am back. I starting to catch up with all the messages. Glad to see all the new opportunities MGS is bringing. Good side note, tomorrow I start my retirement transition counseling from the military. Stay safe Spies

Welcome back to the fold. Continued good luck on the medical front. Also hoping the retirement transition is a smooth one.

Welcome back @Luisddavila and think of it as a new opportunity for the future which should help with the transition. 

In other things more golf related, added my rounds played this year into the handicap system and saw my handicap increase to 5.2. 

Hoping it has more to do with early season course conditions, and lack of rounds over the winter than anything else.

Good evening my spies…. 
Played tourista and made three different job sites. Only one active. Prepping one and making sure the third has been secured. Well,  as best as anything this close to the border can be secured these days. 
    I was able to miss the rain and hail in the area. It was where I wasn’t, fortunately for me. I did finally hear from “ You-Know-Who” . The “ Dark Kingdom “ got a hit from the rain and hail. After making sure the High Highness was alright, I dug my hole a little deeper by simply stating that it looked like “ Mother Nature “ wasn’t playing favorites with me high and dry and her highness’s kingdom dinged and wet. 
 Have a good evening my friends.. 

[Erin B]

Good evening Spies! Ol Molly the motocaddy and I played another 18. Have no vids but have a scorecard. 

it’s relevant to the test. Welcome back @Luisddavila hope you’re finding the forum as you left it! Anyway, walking with an electric cart hasn’t hampered my scores. Have a great evening spies!!!

[Rob Person]

Welcome back @Luisddavila

Anything lined up past the retirement phase,  or is it time to just be you for awhile?

prayers on the health issues. 

 Please seek guidance and/ or counseling if need be with mental health part. It never goes away. But there are some amazing people and programs that can help out. I'm sure your network will be better than mine, but it does work!

Welcome back @Luisddavila hope the recovery continues

@Rob Person thank you brother! I am taking care of the MH because my family needs me. Good thing is that there is a strong transition program in the Army that servicemembers are required to do 18 months prior retirement

Good evening spies! No golf today, had to fix the trailer for my friend to use. Wiring was shot so replaced everything. Should be good to go now.

 

That’s my day! Hope you all had a great day!

[Michael.Sandoval33]

Good evening folks!

Well, I am done with Sociology class! Finished my final exam with a 56/60 and I can wipe my hands with this class. A celebratory round of golf is in the very near future!

Hope you all had a great day.
