Whatcha got going on today?

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

LBlack14 Not a f*cking thang. May go out later for a few bers. Seems like that's the only thing I'm good at, that doesn't hurt, lately.

Me too except the warden won't let me drive yet. 😞

Working. Mowed the other half of the lawn. Making spaghetti sauce for supper. Tightened and bent a door hinge to straighten out the door so it works properly.

How’s your back?

johnnydoom

colej Still sore. Haven’t ever consulted a doctor about it since it’s not debilitating, but there are days when I need to quit whatever I’m doing for a few minutes and sit down. If I rest it for a day and then ease back into walking all usually goes well. Unfortunately, golf is the worst trigger and I had two days requiring a lot of walking after a round on Friday. Pretty sure I’ll be fine by tomorrow.

Dog walks and another practice round with golf_ghirl, trying to keep her swing in shape for a medals final. Antonine which is a bit of a trek and fairly hilly so ride-on it was. Got round in 3 hours while trying out some minor swing changes and chipping practice so no scores kept, I did however birdie the par 5 #16, stroke index 2.

Good fun and set me up for a matchplay tomorrow, a tribute to a couple of senior team members who are sadly no longer this side of the grass. Will involve alcohol. Somebody else can walk the dog.

Well damn. Jaden's right leg took a malachi crunch, in practice, a couple weeks ago. He continued to practice and had a good game last Thursday, even forced and recovered a fumble. Practiced Friday. Has been complaining about his knee hurting since so today he had an MRI and I took him to see my knee guy. Fracture of the inside of the ball of his femur. Done for the year. They're saying 4-6 weeks, no weight bearing, with PT in the meantime. Thankfully It's not broke off, so no surgery needed and Doc says he should be good as new. I asked him how come he didn't say anything, "Pappaw, I wanna play". Dat's my dude.❤️

LBlack14 Damn LB… tough kid. Hope he heals up fast. You should be able to guide him through rehab, you are the king of that.

Packing our bags for an 0600 flight to Orlando in the morning with the kiddos…DisneyWorld here we come…

Rickochet

Sitting on my dead ass with my broken left arm in a sling. I am really getting tired of this. Being a DIY guy this is really getting old. My left arm is currently about as useful as a pecker on a mummy. I have shit to do and the warden won't let me drive. I can get in and out of my Tacoma and buckle up ok and it has automatic tranny. I am not taking any meds. I don't see an issue. She is realizing all the errands I did almost daily and complaining about having to run all of these errands. Rant off. Grrrrrr. 🤬

Walterjn

Rickochet toss the warden in the Tacoma, and show her that you can drive. Maybe she will let you run I errands again.

LBlack14

Rickochet I can see not wanting you to drive with only one good wing. Sorry you're going through this, Rick.

I did that a few days ago and did just fine. It took a few tries to learn where to grab on the wheel to do a full 90 degree turn and after a few turns in our 'hood I did fine and drove to a local store. In my opinion I passed the test. She still doesn't want me to drive. 😟

Rickochet Ya'll must be city slickers, or have bad memories.
When, and where, I grew up, these were mainstays of driving, esp. on farm implements.

Hell, iirc, Cheech & Chong had one in their car & van. 😁

Well to be honest I think she knows you drive normally fine but if you had to make an emergency move you couldn’t do it. She doesn’t want to see you or someone else hurt.

Guilty on both counts. 😜 You didn't post a pic but you must be talking about a steering wheel knob. I actually have one I got from Tractor Supply a few yeaes ago for my mower. 😛

Edited: I see it now. Adblock blocks Amazon pics.

Par4QC

Rickochet You don't see the pic?

Yeah, back in the day, they were a must. No power steering. Those old tractors could be a bitch for a little kid. Esp. when you had to make a turn around and pull the lever/rope behind to raise something, all at the same time.
btw, there were fences 'taken out' a few times.😆

Work then golf ... These are the best days of the year ...70's with little humidity. Mosquito's are baaaaaaaaad around here. The worst I've ever seen. My course sprayed for em on Monday and it's tolerable now!

I went ahead and ordered some with a better reviews (couldn't find the other) and they be here Sat. One for my Taco and two for my Toro. 😛

For right hand use I wonder where the best location on the wheel would be.

Par4QC

Getting a round in today with Jake. He doesn't get time to play much any more, so it will be good, esp. mid-week. We'll put the new shaft in his hands and see if it's a 300+ type thing.
I better take the camera. 🤔

Have a good time with Jake! 🙂

Walterjn

Par4QC please take the camera and take some pics. I'm interested in hearing more.

Where do you normally put your hand when driving with only your right?
Where is the most natural, and comfortable spot to put your hand?

Par4QC

Rickochet So now you are asking if my pea sized brain has THAT good of a memory! iirc, they were about 2 o'clock. (10 & 2.....if memories of Dr. Ed. are good😒)
