TauntonBlizzard2013

Lawn is toast here.... everything is also kind of droopy.,.. dry. Golf course today looked like they were pumping water from another pond to their main irrigation pond today. Been dry.

Played west Bridgewater country club again today. 45 front nine and 46 back for a 91. Take out the first and second hole 7 and 6 and could have been sub 90. Whoever said in this thread that the first hole blows, they are right. Tiny fairway rolling right out of your car.

My October glory maple and Japanese maple came in today. I took them out of the box and put them in the shade and watered them. Should I leave them in the shade and water them for a few days before I plant them? Also, should I leave the October glory staked the way it was shipped? And the Japanese maple is basically a long twig, do I need to stake that as well?

0.08” of meh rain here. Not going to cut it... just enough to keep it insanely humid

Looks like we high and dry here. We burn

Been a pretty dry stretch here... nada yesterday or overnight.

The food prices don’t look bad at all. Drink prices are a little high, but that’s not different than anywhere else. I mean 6 bucks for a spiked Arnold Palmer is crazy. I buy a case of 12 for like 15 bucks. (Those are dangerous by the way, lol) they go down smooth

That doesn’t sound bad at all, and they own that whole section of beach? To me, having bathrooms, parking, and a not crowded beach is worth 50 bucks. What is it to get into RI beaches now anyway, 30? How were the waves?

Sounds nice, might give it a try. Do they have beach spots sectioned off so you get a specific area?

This might sound ridiculous, but does anyone here use central air and window units? Im beginning to think our unit is too small for our house, it’s throwing cool air, but runs a lot. The return vent is also in my parents in law downstairs so it’s constantly running and it’s pretty aggravating. Im wondering if I turn the temp up and then cool bedroom with window unit?

Yeah he announced live on air that his wife is leaving him. He sounded like a mess. He denied being drunk but he sure sounded like something was up.

Anyone catch fred touchers meltdown on 98.5 this morning? Yikes

MA continues to beat down Covid

My lord, did you see a doc?

Yeah I have no problem taking whatever, but none of it is covered. That’s the problem. I put a call in to my doctor to discuss.

Pretty meh heat day so far. Cloudy and breezy and now a light shower moving through

Sorry I meant to type nor*. I didn’t have much time to look into it today as I was kind of caught off guard by the price, but it looks like they don’t cover any medication similar to what I take. Im going to give them a call for sure, thanks for the tip. Aggravating that you pay so much for insurance and they don’t cover a pretty basic medication? Sucks.

Kind of weird question, but I know there are some medical folks on this forum so here it goes. My employer changed insurance providers on July 1, and I found out today, that my (not cheap) insurance, inexplicably does not cover a daily medication I’ve been taking for over 2 years, now does it cover an of the like medications that may be prescribed as an alternative. A 30 day supply was costing me a couple bucks per fill and now will shoot up to like $88 dollars retail. They gave me a “ one time” discount code today that brought the price down to 25 bucks, but that doesn’t seem like something I can count on moving forward. Are my only options either stop taking the med or shell out nearly $100 bucks every month?

It’s hot but nothing to write home about at least down here. Meh

Yeah usually when I miss it’s long... it’s tough trying to control the club speed. The hardest shot in golf might be the ball that is in the rough that is 3-4 feet off the green. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve hit it like 2 feet and other times I hit it way over. So hard to hit it that delicately at that short a distance

My wedge game inside of like 75 yards is probably the best part of my game right now.

It’ll be hot, no doubt. But hydrate, sunscreen, hat... we’ll be fine.

Tomorrow looks like a scorcher..... good thing we have a cart for golf.

Shot a 99 at acushnet.... ALL over the place today. Some monster drives and a lot of awful putting. Drove one hole to within 10 yards of the green and ended up with a 6.

They do... first few years not too much.
