    I had my surgery in October. Before I had the surgery I told my wife we were buying a split king adjustable bed. I wasn't going to sleep on the couch this time. It was well worth the money. I never missed a nights sleep and was able to slowly adjust the bed down in as my shoulder relaxed. And in the long term, sleep is so much better.

    We have split king adjustable beds as well so I'm not really worried about having to sleep in a recliner.

    The surgery is on my dominant shoulder so off to the bidet thread for reqs....

  2. I guess it's time for my contribution to this topic.

    Having my first ever surgery to repair a torn rotator cuff suffered about 3 weeks ago. Got to 65 without ever needing cut on but my luck finally ran out.

    No golf until at least mid-summer depending on rehab.

    My cousin was ripping a sheet of plywood on a table saw. The board popped up and he instinctively pushed it down. Blade caught his hand and split one finger pretty much down the middle and it’s up the another. It was pretty gnarly after the surgery. I plan on getting a SawStop for the same reason. I’ll never be able to justify it use wise, but I like to use my hands to beat off.

    I never rip plywood on my table saw anymore, it's just to dangerous. 

    Track saw is the way to go now when ripping sheet goods.

    I need details on what it took to switch. I am on the back end of my batteries and need to make the change.

    Wasn't that hard.

    Had to cut out dividers in the battery tub on one side so the new battery would sit flush. Had to remove the On-board computer and connect a couple of wires together. Had to replace the charging receptacle and run the battery gauge cable to the dash and mount the gauge. 

    All in all, it took me about 4 hours. There are several you tube videos on how to do it.

    I just put new batteries in my Precedent and stuck with traditional. Couldn’t justify the $3000 vs $1400 on a cart I paid $4K for.

    All in with battery, charger, and 48V converter it was $2300. Since I plan on keeping the cart for a long while and lead acid batteries only last 5 years it was worth it to me. Lithium should last me 10-12 years.

    Other benefits are that you can charge the battery at any level. You can turn the battery off when not in use. You can charge it anywhere as long as you have access to 110V. The gauge tells you how much battery you have left (analog gauges are wonky IMO).

    Most important it gives my wife peace of mind hauling my grandkids around knowing that the batteries won't go dead.

    Still have a full set on "non conforming" eye-2's upstairs in the attic. I actually met Karsten once during a tour of Ping plant in 90's. He asked if anyone was an  engineer and I raised my hand since I was. Can't remember what we talked about but spent about 5 minutes chatting on the floor.

    I still have a full set of Ping Eyes and Eye 2's. I used to own a set of the Copper but traded them away, however, I kept the copper SW and still use it to this day.

  6. Another year of disappointment. I may never get to go.

    Thank you for your 2024 ticket application. We have now completed the selection process for available tickets to the Masters Tournament, Augusta National Women's Amateur, and Drive, Chip and Putt National Finals. Unfortunately, your entry was not selected this year.

    Probably stuck in some mid level corporate job, driving a soccer mom car and his wife just made him go buy her tampons. His cart antics are the only thing today that made himself feel like “the man” and someone else can “serve” him for a change.

    Home Depot sells tampons now?

  8. My father gave my brother and I haircuts when we were growing up. He used the same trimmers on us that he used to trim our horses manes and tails.

    His specialty was buzz cuts and the occasional flat top. I don't remember him ever cleaning the trimmer before or after use.

    Haven't let a male barber touch my head since then. Only female barbers for me until I die.

    What's the verdict on the Recteq 590?  Is the 590 large enough for most cooks, how's the build and cook quality?  Been looking at several different manufacturers, but am drawn to the Rec Teq.  Need to purchase something shortly.

    Smoked 3 racks of baby back ribs on Sunday and they turned out ok. probably should have just smoked 2 racks as the drip pan doesn't span entirely below the racks.

    There was some grease dripping into the smoker shell that will need to be cleaned out as I don't want a grease fire at higher temps.

    One thing I did not consider was the 590 does not have a pellet dump feature. Probably not that big of a deal anyway.

    Other than that, everything looks good. Hopefully I can get to a brisket over Memorial weekend.

    SRV's 'Couldn't Stand The Weather' on vinyl when it came out in 1984, then tools. I started working in car stereo stores when I was 16 in 1986, and had to supply my own tools. Started out with shitty Western Auto stuff, then discovered the Snap On truck. Should have most of them paid off pretty soon. 

    My Snap On tool box purchased in 1981 gets daily usage. "I own the best so please don't ask to borrow" sticker is still on it.

    And yes, it took awhile to pay it off.

  11. Wasp and Hornet spray is not as effective as it once was.

    I remember spraying wasps and they would die instantly. Now I spray them and they wiggle around until they die.

    Either the spray has changed or there is a new killer wasp invading my house.
