  1. Played in a pro-am at the Country Club of VT today. Our team finished under par, which considering that we couldn't putt to save our lives, was somewhat surprising. The greens may have been the quickest I've ever played. I had at least one 4 putt and a couple of 3 putts. My biggest struggle was in the sand. I got into greenside bunkers twice, each time they were really deep pot type bunkers and I couldn't get out and ended up picking up my ball. I drove the ball well and only lost one ball all day. I think my score was right around 100. . Anyway, this was the first day I have taken off to play golf in a couple of years so it was a good day over all.
  2. All kidding aside, we played in a pro-am at Country Club of VT today and it felt pretty hot. My car thermo said 84° when I was leaving. Not quite as hot as I thought it was going to be.
  3. @Eskimo Joe I was going to say that you could drive up the Toll Rd. on Mt. Mansfield but when I looked, it says closed right now. @powderfreak might have more info on that. If that is your type of thing, you should take a ride up the Mt. Washington Toll Rd. if you're in that area. It can make you a bit queasy at times if you have a fear of heights.
  4. So, in other words, you don’t like country music, yiu like pop music.
  5. Nice. Where are you going to be in VT?
  6. 43° for the low here. Stupendous day and great sleeping weather.
  7. Wait, they were outside in the brutal cold? How did they survive?
  8. High of 71.4° off a low of 47.3° and currently 51.3°. This was just about as perfect a day as I could draw up.
  9. Good thing you had video evidence of the bear tipping it over. Can just see you yelling at the kids for being reckless and not picking it back up. And then grounding them for making up a story about a bear. lol
  10. I'm not sure I can make a Sunday afternoon down there. I could do a Sunday morning or Saturday anytime.
  11. I just threw up in my mouth a little.
  12. Is it sitting on an upthrust fault?
  13. Up to .62 now. We were able to get 9 holes in from 4:00-6:00 without too much rain. Started seriously coming down as we were sitting on the clubhouse porch settling up.
  14. 61°/60° .51” on the day.
  15. Pretty much the same for me too. I still enjoy a good professional show from time to time though.
  16. My dog has gotten harder if hearing as he’s gotten older. Last night was the show at the race track down the road, he hardly noticed. Not a lot of neighborhood action this year, which is a little strange, usually there is quite a bit.
  17. Thank god you had Ginx’s old camera!
  18. Good to hear about Tigger. My guy has gotten pretty deaf as he has gotten old (somewhere between 13 & 15) and only notices if they are really close.
  19. I immediately thought of Alex when this flashed up on my phone earlier. Not sure if he is anywhere near there.
  20. Is an enhanced driver’s license available? That’s what my son has. His passport needs renewing too.
  21. We went through a hellacious downpour near St. Albans around 5:30. Almost had to pull over. Didn’t last long though.
  22. Made a impromptu trip to Ottawa this weekend. We had no plans and May son and I hadn’t been to Canada in nearly 3 years and never to Ottawa. Of course I forgot completely about filling out the ArriveCAN health app. We had to download that at the border crossing in Alburg Springs, VT. Barely one bar of cell service and no wifi. Took over half an hour at the crossing just to do that. Anyway, Ottawa seems nice. It’s all dressed up for Canada day. The whole city seemed to be out on the streets for the fireworks, which we missed because we got here late.
  23. The air fryer is nice to use so you don’t heat up the entire kitchen.
  24. If something could be pulled together, I would definitely entertain bringing my weak ass game down for a round.
