    All your pictures of the cabinet painting bring back bad memories for me. We had a ridiculous amount of doors and drawers and that shit took me forever.

    No kidding. The previous owner put black cabinets in kitchen and I wanted white. Plus for no good reason he put small cabinets around the top with doors about a foot square. Fourteen of them! I sprayed all the doors and rolled the surrounding stuff. It took 4 coats. If i were to do it again I would have sealed off the kitchen and sprayed instead of rolling. I thought it might take 2 coats to cover but 4 was a real pain

    What about the assholes that just cut through the gas station in order to avoid the intersection all together?

    They will have a lot more problems. Luckily there isn't an entrance on that side. They would have to go thru the hedges.

    I agree knowing about it helps but the brain does odd things. If I am at the yield sign and see someone turning left I "forget" about them when they are passed my vision field because I am looking hard to the left for "legal" drivers. Taking the foot off the brake and then turn back to straight ahead and the car that turned left is now sideways to hit the entrance. As I mentioned the really goofy part (other than an entrance in the merge lane) is a second entrance 20 feet farther to the same lot. 

     

  3. Appreciate the replies. I don't want to have a wreck and try to figure out fault. I understand yielding to anyone coming my direction even if they illegally changed lanes. That's part of my issue here. technically they are in front of me but going 90 degrees across traffic to make that turn.  Plus -  Even more frustrating and not in the picture - right past the goofy entrance (about 20 feet) is a second entrance to the same place. That one is much easier to determine fault since the right turn lane has been merged into the existing right lane.

  4. This is an incredibly poorly designed intersection but I am stuck with going thru it a lot. Just about smacked someone this morning

    The satellite picture is poor but here it is.  The silver car turning right from Oakwood is exactly where the problem is. They have a yield to turn right.

    The red arrow is the problem. People turning left from Oakwood are cruising sideways across three lanes to go into the gas station and they almost come to stop to avoid bottoming out on the entrance.  The entrance should never have been allowed but it is there. Making the right turn you are looking to the left to yield and when you look back to straight ahead there is a vehicle essentially sideways to use the entrance.

    My view is the the vehicle turning left has is protected for a turn to the leftmost lane not any of lanes they want. Plus they are actually entering the yield lane to make that turn.

    Or am I supposed to yield to any vehicle in front of me no matter how they got there.

    That was Tom Brookshire, former Eagle, and caught a lot of shit over it.

    Not to be "that guy" but it was Alex Hawkins.  He also once commented on a player that had a cast on both arms - when you go to the mens room you find out who your friends are. Didn't stay on NFL broadcasts for too long after that

     

    edit - should have read all the replies before responding

  6. No idea if it is still there but from 2000-2010 or so the Marriott at the Alamo had a mid sixties suicide door Lincoln sitting in the entrance area. It also had an Impeach Nixon bumper stick on the rear bumper.

    Some of the priced were just out there. Picked up shirts, hats, coffee hugs etc. Looked at a sweater but 395 bucks made me decide no.

    Why would you even consider driving if you’re staying only 1 mile away?

    I wouldn't do it the second time. You learn the hard way. Washington Road did not look like the best place to walk. Kinda like hiking in a field

  9. well it was a fun day today. First time and fairly impressed with everything except the traffic - both car and foot. Took almost an hour from leaving the hotel (1 mile away) to get parked. Then at least 45 minutes to get in the gate. It was great to walk parts of the back nine before any golfers showed up. Then about an hour after lunch to hit merchandise stuff.  It was a little difficult at first to get orientated. Obviously walking looks totally different that what you see on TV. Looking at the map and the course I still mis identified a few holes the first time. I wanted to watch a little of the practice tee but the stands are way back from the practice area. If I get lucky again and get the same hotel I am walking down Washington instead of driving. The traffic situation really can't be fixed unless you want a huge road that gets used one week of the year.

    here’s how my Tuesday trip went…

    Free parking by the back gate, it opens before the course opens. They have food stands and a large merchandise tent in back. Get there as early as you can. Get in line, as soon as it opens, get in line for the merchandise tent. Over buy, golf polos, caps, whatever. There will be a ups or fed ex tent right there, ship it home. Grab coffee whatever, then go get in line to enter the course. I think it’s right behind #16 tee. The guards will tell you who’s playing early, groups out, and such. 
     

    we shot over to #3 green / # 4 tee. Stayed there until lunchish time, saw all the big names. then hit the practice tee, saw all the clubhouse and upfront area, then walked the rest if the course. Left about 15 mins before the course closed 
     

     

    Pretty much my plan... Thanks for the tips.  Overbuying - yep. I am driving so no UPS.  A friend who has been a few times corrected my wrong assumption. I thought it should be no issue to shop after the day ends since they could not be sold out on Tuesday. I was informed that they set out stuff each day so a lot will be sold out at the end of the day.  Only difference is I plan to walk the entire course backwards. I always do that at tour events. I get to see the course and multiple groups. In this case I am guessing I can see the final holes without a lot of activity and take pictures.

  11. More work by the restorer on this

    And a large pile of bolts and stuff got plated.  It's not as difficult as it looks to figure out what goes where. A lot of the these are foe holding the fenders on

    Arrived today. Its a good feeling watch. I like it. I would buy again. I did like the fact that the bracelet has screws for link adjustment and they included the screwdriver needed. I’m still pissed I have ditched OEM bracelets on my Seiko Monster as the pin came out of the collar at the worst time more than once.

    I like the looks except for the back. Just guessing all those groves and stuff will catch a lot of dirt and sweat
