Boring times so maybe a highlight or 2. Usual hour workout at 9 am. Went out and swing the Superspeed clubs and my driver .

Rickochet Try running some Starbright Startron enzyme fuel cleaner through it first

I saw your post too late. Already took an hour to pull the carburetor and strip it apart to spray it down. Seems to be running smooth now - I'll find out later when the boy mows the lawn 🙂. I'll try your suggestion next time though (he says with a bad back sore from bending over the lawn mower and stooping to change tools).

Edit to add - as I replied to this post I vaguely remembered a bottle of blue stuff in the garage that I had been adding to my gas can, but have forgotten to the past several times I've filled the can up. What is the blue stuff? Why it's Star Tron Enzyme Fuel Treatment of course!

Worked a 9 hour shift down started at 5 am , down a guy and had a covid19 test....not the most enjoyable sensation I must say

mikeintopeka including allowing him to sodomize me. All is good. Not only is he a good guy

That's good, because in some Southern states, you're legally married. 🤣

Typhoon Always nice when other people at the range come up say,” holy crap you kill it”.

I played with a kid last week (probably 17 years old - I didn't ask, but he's a high school senior) that would hit his tee shot with a 2 iron to somewhere between 260 - 280 yards, and then when I would follow with a nice 230 drive with my G400 driver he say "boom" or "you killed that one". Nice kid! He only hit driver twice (once a little left into some trees which gave him his only bogey in the round, and once about 330 right down the middle on another par 5 that left him 150 out.

Played Maumee Bay State Park this morning.....it's a very tough Arthur Hills course near where we live. I remembered why I seldom play there even though it's close....it's one unforgiving course!! To make things worse, I played lousy....how can a guy shoot his age one week and totally stink it up the next.....???

Jave you ever tried putting “Seafoam” in the tank? That shit works great on carbs. Just add a decent amount with a little gas to run it through. I’ve used it, my buddy uses it on his equipment too. Gets great reviews.

johnnydoom

Typhoon Seafoam” in the tank?

Thanks for the suggestion. I've heard a lot about Seafoam, but haven't tried it yet. Right now I'm going to finish using the bottle of Star Tron Enzyme Fuel Treatment like Rickochet suggested. I used the stuff for the 1st 3 years I had the lawn mower and didn't have any issues. I've forgotten about it the past 2 years though. All seems well now after I pulled the carburetor and blew spray cleaner through all of the holes and cleaned it up. I'll try to remember to use some form of fuel treatment from now on though.

Rickochet

mikeintopeka So he recommended I get the new shingles duo shots now while it is covered, even though I was up-to-date on the 'old' vaccination.

I had the two shot Shingrix vacs last summer. I think it increases the effectiveness over the old shot from 60% to in the 90% range. I did get minor sickies for serveral days after both shots.

mikeintopeka

Rickochet - the improvement over the old you mentioned is exactly what he explained to me. And he warned me of the side effects but so far, so good. My wife had hers a week ago and she didn't have any side effects except the sore arm for a couple of days.

Did you get yours through the VA? My Dad's girlfriend just paid for hers out-of-pocket (Medicare doesn't pay for it) and it was $200-$300?

I got it from the Kroger pharm but I think it was much less than the figure you quoted. I don't know if my part C/D supplement covered any of it or not. Having had a friend who got shingles in his eyes I had no issues paying for it. I was surprised when the pharm rang up the charge since it was the first vac I ever had to pay for. Seems like it was under $100 for the first shot and I don't recall what if any the charge was for the second.

Edited: I couldn't find the charge on the first shot but my copay with my Medicare supplement for the second shot was $30.

mikeintopeka I paid out of pocket, $350 I believe. Still beats shingles

I had about 100 gals. of old stale, dark colored gas in my houseboat. I tried without success of getting rid of it legally. A friend used the Startron on the old stale gas on his boat and it worked. I added the appropriate amount to each tank and let it sit over night. The next morning the gas did not have that stale smell. The boat fired right up and ran well. I was a Seafoam fan but now run Startron in everything.

I am getting my home landline switched over from old ATT copper lines to our local cable company's fiber optic at about a third of what ATT was sticking us with and we keep our same number. We kept getting a buzz in the line, report it, get it fixed and it only lasts for weeks. This has been going on for years. We have ATT fiber optic in our neighborhood but ATT won't switch us over without getting internet with it. We will be getting a bundle deal since we already have the local cable and internet service. Hey, ATT, don't let the door hit you on the ass on the way out. Oh, I am sure someone is going to ask why we keep the landline. It's because my wife wants it. Nuff said? 😁

Played 18 this morning with my son at The Duke in Maricopa AZ. Not too hard of a course but fair. Tale of 2 9's. Shot a front 9 41 and 47 on the back. 6 of 9 greens on the front and played well. I had a triple on a par 4 on the front because my wedge decided to have the yips for 2 chips in a row.🤬 The pace on the back 9 slowed to a crawl and my game went straight to hell. The round took 4:45. I took out my new to me No Brainer shafted with a Kuro Kage and it performed pretty well. Turns out I can still hit a 9° driver.

My 16 year old hung with me to start the back 9. He was beating me through 4 holes and was tied with me through 6. The heat got to him and he lost it on the last 3. He hit a couple of 220 yard drives on the back nine. He is a small kid so those were big drives for him. He was having fun and that is what counts. All in all it was a good morning minus the slow play.

Lucky Man you are. To play and enjoy that course with your Son. The namesake John Wayne would be very proud.

I'm back from attending a limited attendance worship service is our chapel. I'll chill awhile and then accompany my wife on her maiden voyage to the golf course this year for our Club's weekly couples night.

Got up and out to the course bright and early this morning to practice before it got too hot. Still wound up sweating my ass off!! Watched the Women's British Open, and now waiting for my son and his family to drop by on their way to returning our grandson for his junior year in college just north of the border in Michigan.

Filed my weekly Unemployment claim. Picked up dog poop. Hosed down the kennel. Went to work.
