  1. Heck of a second shot by Rory into 18. Hung in by his fingernails today. Rahm just took himself out of the lead with the poor bunker shot on 18. Should be a good day tomorrow.
  2. [DIT]Welp, I guess all you guys who wanted cold and crappy are happy now. [DIT]
  3. I like the idea of the Maverick too but the problem is that the hybrid only comes in FWD, not AWD. I don’t was a 2 wheel drive truck, ever.
  4. If they’re raising my rates, they better raise the amount they pay for the power I send back to the grid from my panels.
  5. What does the manual say? 7K seems about time to change not 40%
  6. I agree. I've always disliked the tricked up torture the USGA has done in the past. By the way, I did the same things as Rory did on his double bogey hole last night in league play. Put my drive in some tall stuff that took me two shots to get out of an then still had to cross the river twice. Ended up with a 7. That's why Rory is a pro, he made 6.
  7. Don't you have some bikers to check in?
  8. I heard somewhere that parts of the park may be closed for the entire summer. It was just about a year ago we started our trip out there.
  9. Seems likely that graduation will be inside
  10. We contribute 6.65% and the State contributes some as well but that varies. We also pay into SS, as does the State
  11. Same with me. Deferred compensation and pension.
  12. It’s funny, I flew out of ORD Saturday and noticed the signs designating the bathrooms as severe weather shelters.
  13. Would be a brilliant day for my son's outdoor graduation
  14. Damn you Moon, let us have these soft, lingering evenings. As some say, seasons in season!
  15. Glad I left Dubuque today. Wouldn’t have wanted to deal with that crap.
  16. Looks a lot like that Iowa ski area I was at yesterday!
  17. The whole time we were there I kept thinking about how you’d be geeking out over it. Lol.
  18. @powderfreakand all the other skiers in our NE group. I’m out in Dubuque, IA for a snowmobile conference. We had some free time this afternoon and went out to the Field of Dreams site. Not really my cup of tea. On the way back, as we were driving through a hilly (for Iowa) area, I spotted what looked like ski slopes in the distance. Everyone in the car thought I was crazy but sure enough we were soon at a place called Sundown. We pulled in to the lodge parking area, which was at the summit of the slopes, got out and started looking around. Pretty soon a guy came out and asked us if we needed anything. We told him we were there from VT and were surprised to see a ski area in Iowa. He invited us into the lodge for a beer with the summer maintenance crew and gave us the scoop on the area. He was the son of one of the founders. Sundown is celebrating its 50th anniversary next year and is still owned by the local families that built it. They have 77 acres and 475’ of vertical. The season usually lasts from Thanksgiving through mid-March. They have a junior ski program with 100 kids. It was great talking to him. He had us stick pins in the VT Mts that our group had skied. This was one of those small, unexpected things that make traveling to new places so fun.
  19. I think you’re forgetting about ineedsnow and Mitch. Sounds like it was the stuff their dreams are made of. Meanwhile, I’m out in Iowa at a conference and it couldn’t have been nicer today. I think it touched 80° briefly with blue skies.
