  1. Other than your buddies that are better/more experienced mocking you, nothing wrong with that.
  2. I think you can get good deals on eBay. What level are you? If you are on the beginner end of things, look for cavity backed game improvement type irons. The better you get, the more feel you’ll be looking for. Go to a place like Dick’s that has a test area. Test some out and see what feels right for you.
  3. Yes, the stereotypical stoner culture. I've known so many of those guys through the years. I do realize its a stereotype and doesn't hold true for everyone. Almost everyone I know uses it to some degree. Of course I grew up in VT in the 70's and 80's, I'm hippied out. I'm not offended by it or don't think it should be legal. But I sometimes feel like proponents get a bit self righteous about it. It can be abused as much as any drug and I know that inhaling any type of smoke is bad for you.
  4. I don't think inhaling any type of smoke is good for you at all. That is why I never took all the people who so vociferously and aggressively tout the health benefits of marijuana seriously. With the advent of legalization and the growth of tinctures and edibles, I am more willing to listen to those arguments. Having said that, I've never been a huge pot fan. My biggest issue with pot is the culture that surrounds it. I agree with you Jerry. So many issues arise from over indulgence.
  5. VT is really strict about runoff into steams and brooks. Anytime you come near a stream you have to have containment plans and silt screening. It seems to me that most sand is used on dirt roads Though some is used during ice events
  6. Was up in the NEK today. Lots of snow at elevation. Beautiful day to be outside.
  7. Was rooting for Fleetwood. As soon as hit hit his second on 18 I knew it was wet.
  8. BTV doesn’t look like this though.
  9. This at 2600’ on Stannard Mt. On clear days you get a nice view of Mt.Washington. Looked like 3’+ up there.
  10. Some more snow pics in the Glover/Craftsbury area.
  11. It wasn’t just the ski resorts that got buried. Any elevation above 1500’ in the Northern Greens got lit up. This is looking at Burke Mt. and somewhere else in Burke above Lake Willoughby.
  12. Firehose pointed at Alburg, VT, Chazy, NY and St. Armand, PQ
  13. Golf courses here in the middle of VT at 1000’+ elevation opened here that year. I remember going to play and taking a dirt road to get there. Got stuck in the mud and had to call a tow truck to get out.
  14. On the heels of the WGC and the one that Tiger is hosting at Riviera. A lot of these guys don’t do 3 in a row anymore.
  15. I was out yesterday so I couldn't watch the tournament live. I was going to watch it on replay but as soon I heard he won I decided not to.
  16. Interesting piece on NWS participation in the 1980 Winter Olympics. https://vlab.ncep.noaa.gov/web/nws-heritage/-/no-snow-in-sight-the-nws-and-the-1980-olympic-winter-games
  17. Read that. I’ve never cared for Reed and that just cements it.
  18. That was sort of what I was thinking. The other thought I had was maybe there is a standard correlation. If there was, I’d think it would almost a 2-1 ratio anyway.
  19. Isn’t he also 1900’ higher than you? I think Mitch is close to 2200’ and your near the bottom of the CRV right?
  20. The putter reall let him down last week. At one point, I think I heard he missed 6 putts of less than 10'. You can't win doing that.
  21. Nice. Did 105 Saturday and 91 yesterday. Got to get it while you can.
  22. The northern Greens have gained some snow the last week or two. Was -18 when I got up so decided to get a later start to our ride. Was 0 when we left at 10:00 am. Beautiful day to be out.
