Word of advice - if your back hurts, don't go golfing until it stops hurting, even if you think it's a kidney stone.
or shoulder or elbow...
Nah, V1x are great! It's about all I lose! I mean use...
🤣🤣 I do find a ton of those in the woods when i slice it
My back always hurts? That’s not normal?

More alcoholic beverages seems to cure it. Plus the golf ball starts going farther!
gotta get limbered up! I usually take a couple ibuprofen

Yeah, I used magnesium oil on my back before bed Friday night, took two ibuprofen and used lidocaine in the morning before golfing and still ended up in Urgent Care and used a cane for 4 days. Still walking with a limp 12 days later. 😬

Ooof!
I think you might be doing it wrong...


But really, that stinks, hope you get that sorted out and back to normal soon!

I wish thats where i disappeared to :/ reality is much more boring. Just a ton of overnight work coupled with all day meetings that has sucked the life out of me. I think im on the upswing though!

Fingers crossed you win! It is a fun hobby. I use it as a way to force myself to be outside for a few hours. Usually drag one of my kids with too so we get some bonding time. Its either that, or an excuse to skip out on work for the day and go play, we have some company charity classics coming up :)

It does, thats the trick though, buy cheap balls and play for fun! (Also i realllly want to get my handicap down in the single digits...it gets addicting competing against oneself! )
We just had our work tourney on Monday. I played in it for the first time in my 20 year career. It was a 4 man scramble. My team finished middle of the pack at +3!

Just found out this afternoon that my manager double booked me for ours LOL, both of them. We do 1 in one city and another in another. I get to play both morning and evening flights on both 🤣
Very looking forward to that. They always have something ridiculous at each hole, like a food truck with steak on a stick or brats or burgers or ice cream, or some prize for longest drive/putt etc. they even have a local car dealer giving away a truck on one of the par 3's for a hole in one!

Also, here is proof of life:
1778296368479.png

It has been on auto pilot for the last monthish, only top up water, skimmer emptying, and alk check 1x a week.
Alk hasn't been bad, it was 6.5 when i measured it Wednesday, dosed a bit of soda ash and bumped up my kalk dose to compensate. Not bad at all though, i think all my frags are starting to grow pretty good is what dropped it, they are visually getting bigger now. I better get off my lazy rear and plant them!

So basically, if you dont win a truck we know how good your golf game is?

I mean, i could definitely use a new truck! my current 02 duramax needs a paint job, and i smoked a deer so the grille is a little... missing.

Thank you! Some days i go back and forth between thinking i should trim stuff up a bit and deciding i like that overgrown chaos look.

Secondly, I like the look! Your rock works clean enough it kind of isolates the chaos into zones that makes it clean, while still looking natural!

That sounds like a blast! I am hoping you get an ace and win the truck!!!

Outstanding and yes I am. Is the crab you're having from the tank? If so, I assume they were in your sump as they get a bit destructive at that size. 🙂

Looks like you're treating everyone VERY well. Enjoy the family!
