Montpelier would be a good fit I bet. Small, progressive a few good restaurants and a decent arts scene. 30-40 minutes to BTV on 89. I work there, well I guess we’ll see when we get back to the office. It’s a nice town.

Morrisville might be a good day trip, Lost Nation Brewery, Ten Bends and the LVRT to bike on. A couple of decent restaurants. The vibe is low key, so much different than Stowe. If you were in to gin and vodka, I’d tell you to make a trip to Montpelier for Caledonia Spirits. They make Barr Hill Gin and Vodka. Pretty good and they just built a new distillery. https://caledoniaspirits.com

Haven’t seen it yet but DeChambeau’s blow up 10 let Tiger make the cut. Roid rage?

Where are you going to be exactly? The three below are in the NEK but sort of spread out Hill Farmstead https://hillfarmstead.com/ Kingdom Brewing https://kingdombrewingvt.com/ St. J Brewery https://saintjbrewery.com/ The first two I can vouch for, not really familiar with the third. Hill Farmstead consistently ranks as the best in the world. While you're at Hill Farmstead, you can stop by Parker Pie too. Awesome pizza. https://parkerpie.com/ Edit to add: Lol, I guess I should have read your entire post before I replied. As for 91 vs 93, are you driving all the way? If so, I would think 93 would be out of your way and take you through some heavy traffic areas.

Rare picture of Jerry and his girlfriend before hitting the town that night.

She’s the camper in the family. I’m ok with it but she’s the one who likes it more.

Watching it now. Interesting how Jack said he didn’t like playing his best on the first day of a tournament. He said he like to feel like he was getting better each day. Tiger quite often follows that same pattern.

I absolutely love the Sebago/Bridgton area. We used to go camping there when we were first married. Couple decent golf courses, Sebago State Park and some decent restaurants. Great area.

At least he's finally right about the cold leaving Canada. Several months late but its finally gone.

And on the way back too, just for good measure.

I now have to make an emergency call to my therapist after this trigger picture

The thing I love about having a membership is that I can go over anytime I want and hop on. I can ply 3 or 4 holes if that's all I have time for. Of course we aren't a big, busy course like the ones down near you guys but it's a nice perk. The downside is that I don't travel to play nearly as much as I used to and I miss that.

Poor insulation.

Time to bust out the sled for the rare July tracks

I think the key for me, as I get towards retirement age, will be leaving for mud season. March 15 - May 15 can be awful. The snow starts getting to the point it's useless, hiking trails are closed because of mud and golf courses aren't open yet. If you can avoid those 2 months, the rest of the year is great.

For most of us, it's all about snow climo.

I have a co-worker who lives on the hill above P&H Truckstop who just said she had a really close lightning strike that knocked out some stuff in her house.

Don’t discount idiots who think they would make good pets either. People have let them go when they got too much to handle.

My office mate used one of those on the large plant/small tree he has in our office. Seemed to work well for the month we though we would be out of the office. Not sure how it's going 4 months in.

My priority list 1. Snowmobiling stuff 1. Golf stuff 2. everything else

The first time I went to PGA event tempo was driven home to me. I went to the Greater Hartford Open and was standing behind the 13th tee, close enough to almost grab the club in their backswing. The hole is a par 5 and the steady tempo really stood out. None of the players looked like they were swinging hard and were putting the ball 300+ yards Smooth tempo is so important. Now if I could just follow that mantra consistently.

I’ve got just under 1200 sf on one level and have a 6000 btu unit in our bedroom window. I shut all our windows and shades when the sun starts hitting the house. We can keep the house at 77-78 even on the hottest days. We have insulated blackout shades on most of the windows so that helps. Of course we look like a drug house with shades pulled all day but it keeps it comfortable.

This is where my anger comes from

Nothing here except thunder. We are in on the severe storm warning but haven't seen anything yet. Today was cut day at the Am, projected at +8. I know quite few guys playing in it. Think they'll get back out?

Me too. I haven't ridden once this year despite the fact that I was given a season cart pass. I don't scoff at riders but I generally prefer walking and there are exceptions. If I'm playing in a tournament and it's slow, I like having the cart. If I'm playing a course I'm unfamiliar with, I like having a cart so I can ride up and take a look at what I'm hitting towards if it's unclear.
