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

Walterjn What you have to be careful of with those is doing exactly what you just did… swing for a number… then it all goes to shit. That’s the problem with hitting indoors for me

Walterjn

Typhoon I was wanting to see if I could get my swing up to 100... 97 was the best I could get to. So now that I have an approximate SS, I can at least have an idea. Now I just need to swing nice and easy and let the club do the work.
I might also get one just to work on my swing speed... more distance I always a nice thing...
Ya know, just something to playbwith for a week or two, until the novelty wears off, then it can live in my bag and come out for a little range time, and workout sessions when I'm wanting to see about chasing a little more speed.

Walterjn Sometimes you can find the little PRGR swingspeed monitors fairly cheap. They work well if you just want the #.

KCee I've seen those for about the same as the swing caddie 200. That said, I did stumble across a swing caddie 200 for $25.00 on fleabay. I'll see if I can get it.

KCee I have one called Swing Speed Radar. It’s old but works fine. They still sell them, blue one and red one that also does tempo

I had gremlins in my TV's. My wife likes to stream a local fox channel for news in the morning. I use Amazon Firesticks on two tvs. When she turned it on it had closed captioning turned on which we don't need and it is a distraction if you don't need it. It was only on that one app. I had to look on my PC to figure out how to turn it off. When I turned on my TV at my desk closed captioning was on that channel as well and got turned off. Later that night I streamed Bass Reeves on Paramount, episode 6. I noticed something different. It had normal dialog but also had another voice narrating stuff like reading a book like "Bass gets off his horse and walks toward the house. He looks at his wife and his eyes look sad." Then normal dialog kicks back in. I thought it was something new with the show. After some research I figured out how to turn it off. The firestick is not very intuitive. I guess this is called AD as in Audio Description. I did not turn it on. Weird.

Descriptive Audio is for those who are blind or have very bad eyesight. It serves the same purpose as closed captioning for the deaf.

Typhoon 4" or 5" heavy wet stuff.

That was my guess, but it was a bit of a surprise never having heard of it or expected it.

I don't know what the regulations are in the US but here in Canada the federal broadcasting regulatory body requires broadcasters to provide closed captioning on all programming, and at least 4 hours of descriptive audio/video per week.
I worked in television for 46 years and when the closed captioning rules came out, we had to write a report whenever the the closed captioning disappeared (how long it was out and when it came back on).

Building clamps.
Lots of clamps.

Par4QC I saw them… nice work!

Too tired yesterday but Jesus…

All this between 5 and 7 pm…. Mother calls men80 times to tell me my brother is still in prostate cancer surgery ( she’s one of those who likes to embellish everyrhing so people feel bad for her… my brother is the same). Take the leaf cover off the pool. Go to the nursing home because they called to say my mothers tv blew a fuse and she is in the dark. While I’m at that place, my mother calls again to tell me he’s out of surgery and a list of people to call. Then the vet calls while I’m talking to her just to give me Ozzy’s lab results.

I absolutely tore into the admin lady at the nursing home. It was awesome because she was giving a family a Tour… I don’t think it ended well after they saw me. I yelled at her as she is coming down the hall and I’m in the breaker box resetting the breaker in her room..
“ Tell me why after I work my own job all day that I have to get in the car and drive here to do your job. She’s sitting in the dark for hours. Nobody knows how to reset a breaker? I pay $9000 a month for this shit, for me to come here on my time to fix shit? This place sucks.”

I looked at the guy and said, “ you’re better off letting the person die than putting them in here.”. And I walked back in her room.

And today I get work stupidity… went off on my boss, who as usual never acknowledges anything, and my buddy who is the sales manager… at least he writes back

I went full “Bill Burr” on her and I have his accent.

Walterjn

Typhoon oh holy shit!!! Time to call management of that place?? That's some real bullshit there!!

Typhoon

Walterjn I’m gonna shoot you a text and some links tonite.

Watching it rain (we need it). Getting ready to drop the daughter off at school for an ACT test. Going to get a haircut after that. Then pick her up from the test later and go Christmas shopping for friends.

Walterjn

Sitting in traffic. On my way to pick up 2 horses in Calabasas, then down to Palm Springs area. Then bring 1 back to Calabasas...

Went car shopping with(for) the wife. This isn't going to be pretty. I sold a guitar body in the next town over.

Typhoon

As usual… MIL is in the hospital because she couldn’t get out of her wheelchair. So that was all day yesterday. We were supposed to go to our friends house for dinner, so that didn’t happen.
Today will be her in the hospital, and go to her assisted living place to see if the cable guy shows up. My parents house because they can’t print something.

I really need to pick up leaves but won’t get to it. I did manage to get the deck furniture in with Nick’s help. What happened to my life?

We had a wild weather day. Temps in mid 50's and rain and expecting storm from and temp drops. I was driving home about 5 PM and noticed a nasty looking cloud wall coming from the west. About a half hour after I got home TV emergency alert horn goes off and on my phone which terrifies my little dog. She never wants to be picked up but when the horn went off she was digging on my legs to be picked up and had this "save me Daddy" look on her face. Radar was showing a nasty red rotation storm 20 miles west and headed right for us. Fortunately it dissipated just west of us and we just got wind and rain. My little dog stayed scared all evening. She will sleep through thunder and loud fireworks but the warning horns on tv and phones terrifies her.
