  1. Underrated worst part of having to put a dog down is the effect it has on your other pups. The constant roaming the house looking for their friend, the laying the the other dogs favorite spots, the looking out the window. All of it just kills me. As if losing a family member isn’t enough.
  2. Stay strong boys and girls if COVID cancels meetings and quarantines grow larger. Historically idle time isn’t the best for my sobriety.
  3. Wife and I go out to dinner last night. I notice my car had changed the time the wrong direction for daylight savings time. I pull into the garage and she gets out. I turn off the car, shut the garage door and she goes inside. I begin to try and fix the time issue on the car. Get to the proper screen and it tells me that the car needs to be on to make the change. So i turn on the car. Make the change in approximately 30 seconds. Turn the car off and she’s at the door in mild hysteria because she thought I was going to die from carbon monoxide poisoning. In 30 seconds. I looked it up and the guess is around 4 hours to get the job done. I’ve thus far held back my smartass desire to text her “whew, was only 3 hours, 59 minutes and 30 seconds away from going down”
  4. Man. I was cruising. No cravings. No thoughts of even having a beer. Thought “this is gonna be cake”. Well fast forward to today. I volunteer some for my wife’s work. She works in college athletics and they are perpetually understaffed. So I’m an attorney and can work from wherever so I help when she has events. A lot goes into putting this stuff on. Sometimes you do stuff that’s not close to under your job description just to get it done. Well, I’m doing some menial labor helping put school flags up in the gym. The wife is dealing with a university having a hotel nightmare. So, putting up flags sucks. I ask a coworker “hey could you help with the flags, it’d help me and Mrs ocugolf a lot”. He wasn’t doing shit. Responded with “I’m sure it would” and went and fucked around on the internet. Made me irrationally mad and my mind went straight to wanting to pound an old fashioned or eight. I calmed down, I’m fine. But it was a nice reminder that there are gonna be up and downs and it’s ok to struggle.
  5. 5 months today.
  6. Has anyone done Streamsong or Traverse City, Michigan? We are planning next year. Streamsong seems sweet because everything is there at the resort, so no driving. I’ve heard awesome things about Traverse City. Arcadia Bluffs, Forest Dunes, The Loop, etc. and we have an outside shot at getting on Crystal Downs. Michigan in the summer sounds really nice.
  7. We went this week and I spent about 1500. Green fees were 130. The day we played 36 the second green fee was 65. Had a forecaddy that was 40 a round. Preserve is 50 bucks. Double occupancy in chrome lake was 125 a night. I could see 1k a day if you went during peak times. We got lucky with the weather. 55-60 and light winds.
  8. Holy shit Bandon is amazing. Just got back from a buddies trip. First time in the Pacific Northwest. Played Pacific Dunes on Thursday and it is absolutely incredible. Bandon Dunes and Bandon Trails on Friday. Dunes has some amazing views but I think I like trails better. Saturday was the Preserve and Old Mac. Next time I go, I’ll probably skip Old Mac and play the Sheep Ranch once it is open. it’s just golf paradise. We saw zero women golfers. Just a ton of guys on a bucket list golf trip. Everybody was having the time of their lives. Service is great. The shuttles make it easy to get everywhere. If you’re serious about golf, you have to go. 10/10. Can’t wait to go back.
  9. We lost our daughter on November 2, 2018 8 months into pregnancy to a umbilical cord issue. Seeing all these proud #girldad pictures all over the internet after Kobe and his daughter died fucking kills me.
  10. The pop when Edge came out sounded crazy on TV. I bet it was insane live.
  11. Bandon in late February. Pretty pumped. Wish we were going in July when the 5th course opens, but we got a hell of a deal.
  12. That’s true. I was thinking they could dump Muscala or Burton to get under the tax rather easily. I don’t think they move Adams, but his name is floating around some. He’s still just 26. The way Schroeder is playing (he may be 6th man of the year) could bring in some value. And Gallo is a great piece on an expiring. I wouldn’t be surprised if they kept him and tried the sign and trade. Noel has been surprisingly great this year. I still can’t believe he turned down that extension from the Mavs. That has to haunt him.
  13. Should OKC be buyers? They are playing really well. I think SGA and the rebirth of Chris Paul may have expedited the rebuild. They have a bunch of pretty good young pieces and so many damn picks coming up.
  14. Just checked and it looks like the Garfield's in my hometown dying mall is history. Damn shame. Bartlesville?
  15. Grandmother has recently been moved to assisted living. It’s a condo. Full kitchen and laundry room. She knows she needs the help, but still is resisting the move and is being rather cranky. I drove an hour and a half to pick her up this morning for Christmas Eve lunch. Greeted her with “Merry Christmas Nan!”. Got a “This isn’t Christmas. Christmas is only a happy holiday.”. Good start. Started lunch and she gets snippy and asked to be returned to her cell. LOL. So now I’m driving her back to her condo and she is refusing to listen to any Christmas music.
  16. Rumors of Kiffin with Kendall Briles as OC and Randy Shannon as DC
  17. So just taking a wild guess: Ole Miss - Norvell Memphis - Odom but I do like that idea of him to VT as DC Arkansas - Kiffin. Think that would be a horrible hire. No chance he is there longer than 2-3 years. If he turns it around, he's gone to somewhere way better. Mizzou - My Mizzou alum friend in the know thinks they are all in on Harsin FSU - Mark Stoops? I know they will want to find a flashier name, but I don't see anyone better taking the job. If Stoops leaves, maybe the Pirate goes back to UK if he is wanting a change in scenery.
  18. My mother decided Thanksgiving was the perfect time to buy new doors. So, they took the old ones and put them in one of their rent houses. Problem is that they didn’t have time to get the new doors stained by the time we got into town. So, there are no doors to any of the bedrooms or more importantly, any of the bathrooms. You haven’t lived until you are awakened by your 87 year old grandfather blowing ass at 3:30 in the morning after two thanksgiving meals.
  19. If you go down in the pit, it is 3:2. Those tables around the outside are all 6:5 now.
  20. Looks like FSU is trying to lock up Urban before anyone else has the chance.
  21. Today marks a year since we lost our daughter Sloane at 8 months due to an umbilical cord issue. I vented here and you all were absolutely amazing. I’m extremely grateful. This last year has been hard. Really hard. In some delusion, I thought the men must be strong and stoic. That anything else showed weakness. So I bottled everything and kept everything I was feeling inside. Friends and family started to notice I was off. Antidepressants didn’t work. Hell, they probably made it worse. I was spiraling. Panic attacks so bad I couldn’t be in crowds. It was hard to get out of bed. Then I had a dear friend go to the web and bear his soul and tell of the horrors he faced as a child. So, I figure if he can do it so can I. I started opening my soul. Instant relief. I’m trying to be an open book. That delusion of “men must be strong and stoic” is just that, a delusion. I pushed family and friends away for 18 months. I missed a lot, but am finally ready to catch up. If any of you all are going through tough times, DM me. There is strength in numbers. I’ll listen and share my story. I’ve learned that if I help just one person, my struggle will have been worth it. If you all would send some T&P for the wife and I today, we would be eternally grateful.
  22. I took Mahomes in the 3rd. Kupp was like Round 7. DJ Moore in the 8th. AJ Green was late because he’s kind of hurt. These people draft two QBs pretty early for some reason. Take two defenses and kickers. They have no clue what they are doing.
  23. Yep. Took McCaffrey first and was amazed that Adams lasted. People went RB heavy early and took Kelce, Michael Thomas, and Julio and somehow left me Devante Adams.
  24. 10 team PPR league, 400 bucks a team, so i split with a another person. Had the 2nd pick. Qb: Mahomes RB: McCaffrey RB: Devante Freeman WR/TE: Adams WR/TE: Hilton Flex: Fournette Defense: Cleveland Bench: Eckler, Guice, Hunt, Kupp, DJ Moore, Robby Anderson, AJ Green, Will Fuller Have a waiver to get. Duke Johnson for another running back. It’s going to be hard to pick the WRs each week.
  25. I just won the new Bushnell that somehow takes in to account temperature and air pressure. I gave my old leopold to my dad to donate to his buddy at the club he belongs. Let me see if he has given it away or not, but if he hasn’t, I’ll give it to you. It’s beat up and the lens is pretty dim, but it’ll get you a number. No slope though.
