Jeff - I'm not certain why you would make that statement - to me. I don't recall having mentioned "your name" in my post regarding nicknames for anything.

 

What a dreary, wet, crappy day out here! Me and my 2nd best girl are just hangin out watching the boob tube. This is by far her favorite place to nap!

 

Mostly sarcasm.

You may not have noticed my affinity for the gesture in situations of both jest and anger.

 

Ah. OK.

 

Chris - Will Bama go all the way? What about Houston?

 

I have seen Bama play a couple times this year and they are very tough. I haven't seen Houston. At this point if I was gonna put money down, it would be on Bama.

 

I'm not partial to either Bama or Houston - I'll be eating baked blueberry cobbler + French Vanilla ice cream as they both run up/down court.

 

Norm - The blueberry cobbler sounds delicious! I'll be watching some of the basketball tonight, but I don't really have a dog left in the fight so I really don't care who wins it all. I would like to see Princeton (#15 seed) win tonight to see a true underdog move forward. Gotta love those stories.

We're having Chili Mac tonight. No dessert for me though, I'm swearing off desserts until I lose my Winter pudge so I can get back into my Speedo. Seriously though, I do have a tendency to put on a few extra pounds over the Winter, despite my dedicated workout regimen. My wife is too good a cook, and I love to eat, a devastating combo!

 

 

After what I told you, that is just Cruel and Unusual Punishment!

 

Jeff I remember the gesture aimed toward your jitterbug mowers. I flip someone off at least once a day in traffic.

So Normie doesn't like nicknames. Gee I can't imagine why.

Was working on the blue van today. Got the final brake line on and tight, now I need to replace the proportioning valve. That will be the end of the maintenance and then I can fill the master with brake fluid and bleed it all. That guy has only been sitting how many years.

Beautiful out this afternoon but the rain doth cometh. We've had so much rain it doesn't even affect me anymore. I just feel beaten down by it.

 

Good for all that grass seed you planted though, eh Mikey?

 

IMO, San Diego is playing a much better game than Bama. Bama needs to settle down or they'll lose this one to good old solid team work.

 

Sure if I would have planted any. I've had zero time to get out into the yard. I've wanted to, but haven't as of yet. I think all of my neighbors have started mowing and I haven't. Not even close.

So I was leaving the post office for Awful house today and was trying to beat some traffic. I dumped the clutch and the revs went up to almost 4000. Shifted, it pulled a little but still revved. Got to Awful house and boy could I smell clutch. Original clutch at 127K so it's no surprise to me it decided to slip. I'll call the mechanic next week and have it in. My buddy said he'd help me with it, thanks but no thanks, no way I'm bench pressing the ZF6 while laying on my back under the truck. And messing with a transfer case as well.

 

Bama going home, San Diego moves on. What a game to watch. Looks like No. 1 seed Houston is going TU, as well.

 

Yeah, it's tough under there. My ONLY saving grace would be my 6" suspension lift provides much more working room to maneuver a couple floor jacks, boarding maybe, etc., but still my 5R110W TorqShift weighs 300 pounds - that's a lot of weight. Either last year or the year before I changed out the oils in both the transmission & transfer case. Gears looked solid and in good shape. Good luck, Mike.

 

Yep, they're all good teams by this point in the tourney and anything can happen. That's why I enjoy watching this tournament, you just never know which team is going to get hot and rise to the top.

 

Well, Miami is going to beat Houston. Bye bye both No. 1 seeds.

 

During my tenure @ U of OK (1984-1988, Norman, OK) I regularly played racquetball (3-4/week) & sometimes 2-3 one hour pickup games/week (Basketball). Between ~1986-1987/1988 (summertime) our group would often play pickup games & Stacey King would join us. About 1986 Harvey Grant joined OU basketball and on a couple occasions our same group of guys would play w/ both Stacey & Harvey in our one hour pickup games. Great times.

 

That’s called a driving finger.

 

Norm, just read ( not confirmed) 1 in 11 million are the chances to be in a plane crash. 1 in 11 billion are the chances to break 80

 

Norm - That must have been humbling to play in some pick-up games with them boys! I remember Stacy King as a player, but could not remember Harvey Grant, so I had to look him up. When doing that I found out Harvey had an identical twin brother, Horace, who I did remember. Pretty cool you got to play in some pick-up games with some former NBA pros!

 

Jim - Is that true?

 

They're both ~14 yrs younger than me - youngin's.

 

I don't have the foggiest idea

BTW I've played golf several times with Trevor Immeman's brother. He says that he isn't African American ( because he's not a citizen)

 

Is Mark (Immelman) a member of your club? He lives in Columbus, it says on Wikipedia.

 

 

No, but my 1st cousin ran the Columbus golf program until he retired. He's friends with both Mark and Trevor and I think has visited their home in south Africa. He used to come play with me before back problems

I know you are going to ax.Mark beat me like a rented mule

 

Good Morning. Nice car. Is it yours?

 

I figured he must have a game since that family is tied heavily to golf.

 

Billy Andre is a member but I have never played with him. See him in the dining room occasionally

 

Norm I really don't know the details but I think Columbus college gave mark a sweet heart deal to coach and let him give private also. Yes the entire family Is BIG into golf. Mark couldn't have been a nicer guy to play with (and put up with me)

 

Jim - You belong to a wonderful club. I've only seen pictures. A friend I play with weekly (here) has played your course several times & enjoyed it. I showed him the golf ***** you sent to me. Thank You, again.
Without suggesting any political hostilities, this is taken directly from Wikipedia regarding Bill Andrade:

 

I'd much more prefer to be on the golf range or playing a round, but I need to hit the scaffolding (again). New patches of grass seed were watered this morning. Time to clean up shop and sling a paint brush.

 

palaka - Do you sell/wear Hawaiian shirts?

thanks norm, 50 years ago when I joined it was peanuts to join. Today like every other thing elsein Atlanta it's crazy expensive.


I couldn't afford now. Nor if I could I wouldn't spend the money new members fork out. It's insane

 

I'll second the cruelty of this picture, especially restarting my diet. Now I want to make some!... Rude

 

[QUOTE=Jamesbo;1487706]Are you grandfathered?

 

Curtis Strange lives here…

 

Hi everyone.

Beautiful afternoon. Started out thundering and lightning and a big downpour. This morning at the Awful house I said, there's gonna come up a cloud. Everyone else just looked at me. Of course, the cloud was already there.

Welcome Palaka that's a beautiful car.

Sat kibitzing at my airport most of the morning, now I'm going to hit the computer and start looking for a car, again. The criteria isn't quite so critical anymore, since Mom has gotten so much better after surgery. I don't know what I'll come up with because like before, there isn't anything current that I like.

Well happy Saturday everyone. Rain comes back tomorrow.
