For sure. Seems like the month just started and we're already almost 25% of the way through it. I guess that's what happens when you're off half of it.

How'd the weekend plans go?
Very well. Golf on Saturday morning, then the hotel room at night was good, clean fun. Hung out at my parents house for a bit yesterday, beautiful weather all around. How's about you?

Morning, Rick. My younger 2 just left a little bit ago for their first day. Oldest goes back tomorrow. Masks are required all around, so that will hopefully stop a huge wave going through the schools and sending them home in 2 weeks.

I gotta imagine every kid is going to hate the masks. Better than having a breathing tube, which I think they'd like even less.

Hoping to go out again Friday, so long as the weather cooperates. Also hit the range yesterday while at my parents house, since I still needed some time getting used to my new irons. Definitely hit them better yesterday with some more practice swings.

Today is Tuesday, Sept. 7, the 250th day of 2021.
There are 115 days left in the year.
Today’s Highlight in History:
On Sept. 7, 1977, the Panama Canal treaties, calling for the U.S. to eventually turn over control of the waterway to Panama, were signed in Washington by President Jimmy Carter and Panamanian leader Omar Torrijos (toh-REE’-hohs).
On this date:
In 1812, the Battle of Borodino took place as French troops clashed with Russian forces outside Moscow. (The battle, ultimately won by Russia, was commemorated by composer Peter Ilyich Tchaikovsky with his “1812 Overture.”)
In 1936, rock-and-roll legend Buddy Holly was born Charles Hardin Holley in Lubbock, Texas.
In 1940, Nazi Germany began its eight-month blitz of Britain during World War II with the first air attack on London.
In 1972, the International Olympic Committee banned Vince Matthews and Wayne Collett of the U.S. from further competition for talking to each other on the victory stand in Munich during the playing of the “Star-Spangled Banner” after winning the gold and silver medals in the 400-meter run.
In 1986, Desmond Tutu was installed as the first Black clergyman to lead the Anglican Church in southern Africa.
In 1996, rapper Tupac Shakur was shot and mortally wounded on the Las Vegas Strip; he died six days later.
In 2005, police and soldiers went house to house in New Orleans to try to coax the last stubborn holdouts into leaving the city shattered by Hurricane Katrina.
In 2007, Osama bin Laden appeared in a video for the first time in three years, telling Americans they should convert to Islam if they wanted the war in Iraq to end.
In 2008, troubled mortgage giants Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac were placed in government conservatorship.
In 2015, Hillary Clinton, interviewed by The Associated Press during a campaign swing through Iowa, said she did not need to apologize for using a private email account and server while at the State Department because “what I did was allowed.”
In 2017, one of the most powerful earthquakes ever recorded in Mexico struck off the country’s southern coast, toppling hundreds of buildings and killing at least 90 people. (A deadlier quake would strike central Mexico nearly two weeks later.)
In 2019, President Donald Trump said he had canceled a secret weekend meeting at Camp David with Taliban and Afghan leaders, just days before the anniversary of the Sept. 11 attacks, after a bombing in Kabul that killed 12 people, including an American soldier.
-
Ten years ago: The latest in a series of Republican presidential debates brought together Mitt Romney, Michele Bachmann, Rick Perry, Herman Cain, Newt Gingrich, Jon Huntsman, Ron Paul, and Rick Santorum in Simi Valley, California. A private Russian jet carrying a top ice hockey team slammed into a riverbank moments after takeoff from the airport near the western city of Yaroslavl, killing 44 people. (Investigators blamed pilot error.)
Five years ago: In back-to-back appearances, Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton confronted their perceived weaknesses during a national security forum in New York, with Clinton, who went first, arguing that her email practices did not expose questionable judgment while Trump defended his preparedness to be commander in chief. President Barack Obama, during a visit to Laos, pledged to help to clear away the 80 million unexploded bombs the U.S. dropped on the Southeast Asian country decades earlier.
One year ago: Many big Labor Day gatherings were canceled across the U.S. as health authorities pleaded with people to keep their distance from others so as not to cause another surge in coronavirus cases like the one that followed Memorial Day. The mayor of Louisville, Kentucky, announced that Yvette Gentry would serve as interim police chief; she was the first Black woman to lead the department, which had been heavily criticized since officers fatally shot Breonna Taylor in March. India’s increasing coronavirus caseload made the Asian giant the world’s second-worst-hit country behind the United States. About 80% of the small eastern Washington farming town of Malden was leveled by flames from a fast-moving wildfire.

They are pretty pure to hit. Looking forward to getting in some more work and getting more used to hitting them. It's not quite as easy as just standing a little further from the ball, unfortunately.

Yup. Have to use up excess accumulated leave. I'm only allowed to accumulate 240 hours, and anything in excess of that has to be used before my work anniversary date in April, or it is lost. They suspended that rule last year, owing to the pandemic, but now they are anxious that I use the leave.
So...taking #2 son to Bend to go with my Uncle to a Dave Matthews Band concert.

They are pretty pure to hit. Looking forward to getting in some more work and getting more used to hitting them. It's not quite as easy as just standing a little further from the ball, unfortunately.
I just did the virtual fit on the Ben Hogan sight. for over $2000 I finally get a complete set of stiff shafted clubs. lol.
I may look to replace my driver and 4-wood at some point in the future, but that wasn't in the cards just yet. Plus, I really stripe my 4-wood, so that'll be a hard one to replace. The nice thing about them is they will send you clubs to try for 2 weeks, all you have to pay is $20 for shipping. That's what got me started with them.

Morning, muchachos. Late checkin today. I'm on leave.
that's a good thing right?
morning RazMan.
Yup. Have to use up excess accumulated leave. I'm only allowed to accumulate 240 hours, and anything in excess of that has to be used before my work anniversary date in April, or it is lost. They suspended that rule last year, owing to the pandemic, but now they are anxious that I use the leave.
So...taking #2 son to Bend to go with my Uncle to a Dave Matthews Band concert.
Forced vacation is better than none. How long are you taking off?

Rest of the week. Had to put in a couple of hours this morning getting tasks covered. But now I'm done for the week unless there is an emergency. Coupla more household tasks, then time to skedaddle.

good morning Tony, Dave, and Rick. glad to hear everyone had a good weekend.
having a late breakfast, early lunch. been years since I had a Laranja. Redfish introduced me to them when they first came out.
Morning, Deano. Dave will be jealous he wasn't able to have one of those this weekend, thanks to the turd Clemson dropped on Saturday.
I'm jealous you played golf this weekend but it didn't stop me from enjoying some good smokes. must be that 'orange Clemson phobia'.
Hoping to go out again Friday, so long as the weather cooperates. Also hit the range yesterday while at my parents house, since I still needed some time getting used to my new irons. Definitely hit them better yesterday with some more practice swings.
new irons? whatcha got?
Ben Hogans, 5-PW and 4 hybrid. Irons are an inch longer than standard and 1° flat.

Keep playing the lottery Dean.
How is rehab going?
too early for rehab yet. end of the month this cast comes off, then another cast, then maybe a walking boot from knee to toes, and then maybe rehab. looking at least 3-4 months before rehab or able to drive.

yes, I saw the try before buying. I found it hard to believe they came up with stiff shafts with my slow swing speed and driving distances.

I have a 52, 56 and 60. So with only having a driver and 4-wood, I carry 13 clubs. But I may add a 3-hybrid at some point, cause I really like this new one.
