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

50° & 60° days took care of it, finally. The Mrs. says it's 50° plus, from now on. 🙄

Getting ready to clean my filthy clubs. Cooking up some chili in the crockpot. Doling out statistical advise to my work teams.

I read somewhere ages ago that's it's not advisable to submerge your clubs like that.
If it's hot water you are asking for ferrule creep in the very least, imo.

Spuzz Thank you. Haven't heard that before - it was hot water. I have had a couple of ferrules work loose over the years, but never gave it much thought. I'd just put a drop of epoxy on them and push them back down. Haven't had any other problems that I'm aware of, but I don't have any real knowledge that would enable me to associate anything back to that habit forensically anyway.

Welcome
🙂
I am not a fan of this practice either (graphite shafts) because sometimes when you cut off the ferrule for a reshaft, the epoxy takes the paint off with it.
:/

I don't cut ferrules off on a reshaft. If you cut them off you can remove paint starting at the top of the ferrule with the knife. I heat the ferrules with my butane torch then grab them gently with some pliers and twist them up the shaft. Pull the shafts and clean off the old epoxy then just slide the old ferrule off.

Early walk for the dog this morning as had extra collection on my charity run today. Got home to find an email from TV compnay, egift card for a substantial amount of cash - guessed that meant they couldn't/wouldn't repair the TV they took awayy the other day.

Ah well ... at least I got my money and more back on that Care Plan, so off we go for a new TV on Click&Collect due to lockdown. Get home, unbox the set, wait what's this ... bolt pattern for wall mount is different to my old set. Never mind, mount plate is adjustable so let's get that down and done ... perfect. Try the mounting bolts from the old set in the TV before trying to lift it into place - no fit, not even close. Needs M8 bolts - not supplied with set. And I'm not sure an M8 will pass through the holes in the mounting plate. "Help!" email to the guy who fitted the wall mount bracket for me, see what tomorrow brings.

Mounted it on table stand for now and set it up, but that was a bummer as well. Free 30 day trial Amazon Prime, not needed as we already have an account, but couldn't get past the "Sign Up" screen. Two options Close and Exit, Close and Cancel, both led back to sign up screen. Switching TV off and on led back to the sign up screen. Eventually unplugged/replugged the set and finally FINALLY got the damn thing working, just in time for the WGC finishing.

And I can't remember how I got past the AP sign in screen so if I have the same issue tomorrow ...

When the original TV was installed on the mounting bracket, there would have been a package of assorted bolts/washers, that came with the bracket. They would have been various sizes, and 1 size in that package is now what you need. Question is, who has that package with the remaining hardware?
I know this from installing 100's of TVs in hotels. 😉 And I have a lot of those packages as 'memories'.

Golf_ghirl's had 5 years of tidying up and reorganising since it was installed. More chance of finding a unicorn while walking the dog than finding the extras. No worries, chap I emailed last night called me earlier and is coming over around 2pm. I'll be back from delivery run by then

Honestly, this was the BEST part of my day. The 2nd was getting to the putting green about 5pm. Other than that, it was well meh..

My FIL used to say "snow laying for more" when we'd have days like this after a big snow and the sun/temp got rid of most of the snow but not all of it. He was right most of the time, hope he's wrong this time. 🤞

Yeah, it’ll be 20 degrees tomorrow.

Par4QC

LBlack14 I can't believe that's all gone! It's been warm here also, not in the 50s-60s yet, but I'm watching my front yard. The 3'+ overhang on the front prevents the sun from ever hitting, and the shaded area extends out quite far right now, due to the sun's location. Beyond the shaded area, the yard has dropped about a foot, and still has more than that to go. And there is a couple layers of ice in there somewhere.

Typhoon I just paid $1k to have my Heat pump outside unit replaced-Lennox through in the unit free. I think you got more technology.🤔

The usual morning routine, going down the country club after lunch for a few drinks with the guys there. Wife bought shit to paint over a linoleum floor and stencil it... fuckin A. Looks like 9 million steps, she was gonna do it at some point, not today ... I hope she returns the shit.

Installing vinyl plank over the linoleum is a piece of cake.

Brother, we need to have our Friday night ear chewing sessions....again!

I think I'll go out and walk 9 this afternoon. Hopefully it's fairly dry after the snowmelt we had.

Been a super crazy busy week at work, but got to spend a little time this morning reviewing prototype images of the putter and making a small tweak. 🙂

Costly tweak?
I see your Sub70's for sale.

Sitting outside of the barber shop waiting for a long overdue haircut. Finish out the rest of the work day and then attend my daughter’s percussion ensemble performance at the school.

omg....thanks for the reminder. Haven't had 1 for over a year now. ahhh...it can wait.

LogicalOne

Spuzz Haha! 😂 No, not costly, fortunately. I decided to put them up for sale because I’m a ho I guess and I spend too much time on eBay and other sites and have felt the urge to purchase something new. I know, I have an addiction. 🙁 lol 🙂
