It was well over 100 when I finished golfing yesterday.  Didn't really notice it.  It is a dry heat :93:

Summer time is great around here. Alway tee times available. Low prices and the course relatively open and quick play.

One of my kids read my first fantasy novel and claimed to be waiting anxiously on Book 2, which I have had in abeyance.  I'll try and get back to it.  This retirement thing is like being tired over and over.

I went to sleep last night at 9:40, my wife claimed I'd be awake at 3 AM again, but I slept pretty well, got up at 6:30 or so.  Not watching network TV is a real pleasure, you have time galore for other things.

started a gaming pc build. or a modifying build from an old work pc. wanting to get into dcs world and il 2 type flight/mil sims. super budget.

had an old dell optiplex at office with a nice i7 processor. the rest of it was crap, but that's supposed to be a solid cpu. also had a 128 gb ssd i'll be salvaging for op system.

got a coolermaster case, thermaltake smart 500w psu, 16gb (2x8) ram, and 1tb ssd. went back and forth on using old motherboard, but dell uses a ton of ridiculous proprietary connection and i didn't want to bother figuring our workarounds. so i got a super cheap motherboard and we'll see if it works. if not, can just go back and figure out the dell until i want to upgrade.

still need a gpu, likely gonna get a rx6600, just haven't pulled trigger yet. at this point gonna probably wait until black friday for some deals and also hopefully the new releases coming soon will drop prices again.

gonna 3d print and build some hotas, likely from authentikit. hoping the finish some more of their p51 plans soon. probably gonna start with the spitfire since it's mostly complete. wish i could find a good force feedback option. probably get the vkb gladiator for other/modern flight stick and throttle.

Played golf Sunday. It followed three straight rounds of the "why do I play this stupid effing game?" variety. Just trash all around.

No practice since the preceding round. Did nothing different. And got around the course at +13, with nothing worse than a double, and generally competent (if not spectacular--it's still me) play all around. 

'tis a weird game.

I played some of my best golf when I reached my "dont give a shit" zone

I thought I told you that you have to play from the white tees not the red tees

been playing from the whites cause my buddies are older or just don't hit it as far (6348)

yesterday played with some young flatbellied guys, so played the blues.  (6731)

I score the same from either.  Short game is where all the strokes are.

Reds -lady's are (5309)
I've actually played them with my daughters.
Just hit a 5-iron off the tee box instead of driver.
Score about the same.

I played Tuesday. Shot an 87 which is my second-lowest round ever (85). Only one double bogey and four pars. Putting was solid, with only two 3 putts. My irons were funky though. Had a lot of second shots that ended up just off the green.

There was a foursome of "professionals" (read that with as much sarcasm as you can muster) ahead of me and eventually three other pairs. They would not let anyone play through and spent FOREVER on each green. I'm not sure if they were playing for money but they spent a ridiculous amount of time looking at each of their putts and then they would leisurely stroll off the green while we were standing there ready for our approach. This was on a Tuesday afternoon when the course wasn't crowded at all either. Highly frustrating.

I don't see the benefit of calculating the putt for so long if you're going to miss it anyway
