Walden is nice. Gets lots of snow.

My BIL & SIL are renting a camp on Joe’s Pond in Danville, VT this week. Went up to visit this afternoon. Loons floating out front. The picture isn’t that great but it shows how nice the day was. Also took a pontoon ride with their beagle, Gage.

We rescued our cat when he was like 9-10 weeks old. Tried hard to make him an indoor cat but he just never took to it. We finally made peace with the fact that at some point he probably just won’t come back. He’s gotten beaten pretty good by something twice. One time, he had a big puncture on one side of his spine and three more on the other. I think a hawk or owl grabbed him but he got loose. I don’t know how he made it back to the house. That adventure cost us almost $2000. He’s 10 or 11 now. Oh and we don’t have mice issues around the house.

This sums it up for me too. I’ve always been a player guy in these sports labor disputes. Maybe the PGA needs to make some changes but the way LIV is currently set up holds no appeal to me.

My point was more for statistical comparison sake.

Low of 40.6° this morning. Refreshing

Long sleeves and shorts playing golf this evening. It was 56° with a breeze when I left the course

My wife took today and tomorrow off.

I guess I haven't seen anything around it really, other than lawsuits from players who left the PGA for LIV but still wanted to play in the PGA playoffs. The biggest thing to me is the shortening of the tournaments. That's like making baseball games 6 innings and claiming a perfect game is still the same.

More fun for who? 54 holes? Shotgun start? What's next? A scramble?

The media hype was pretty big then too. It’s really the first storm I remember making big headlines up here before it hit.

Welp, my answer is here. Raining and rumbling.

Is there more rain coming for VT? My .06 doesn’t really do much.

My wife bought back a souvenir tee shirt for me from Maine, thank you dear. I started looking at and noticed that it has latitude and longitude readings on it but the look a bit of. Turns out that 33.6891°N 78.8867°W is actually Myrtle Beach, SC not Wells, ME. No wonder the shirt was on sale.

Yeah, I feel bad for Scheffler but am a big Rory fan so I am happy to see it. Sounds like Cam Smith is set to announce that he’s going to LIV. I can’t say I’ve really missed any of the LIV guys since the split. Personally, I don’t like 54 holes with a shotgun start but I can definitely see why some of those guy took the guaranteed money. Just not my cup of tea though.

"Heat pump is a technology which means a mini split can be the same as a heat pump, yes. However not all mini splits are heat pumps as mini splits can be cooling only." https://powersaveac.com/blog/post/is-a-mini-split-the-same-as-a-heat-pump

Dude, plant native stuff. This is your chance to move away from the barren, monoculture to something better.

Don’t you have to be up past 8:00 pm for it to be considered an all nighter?

Pretty much the same here. Nothing but a few sprinkles here today but the PWS next to my golf course had .35 this afternoon. Everything was wet when I got over there. Bone dry here.

Can’t wait to see this on Northwoods Law

This article just popped up in my Nat Geo app. https://www.nationalgeographic.com/travel/article/pawpaws-are-americas-hidden-edible-treasure-heres-how-to-pick-them

Every time I drive past there now, I wonder about the stuff they grow and whether you had gotten the paw paws. Question answered now.

I hate golf. I was on track to shoot another 90-92 then took back to back 9s on 15 and 16. Finished 4th in a flight of 7. Golf can bite me.
