I have a good inversion table, but I don’t see that it really helps much.

Maybe I don’t use it as often or a Not as disciplined as I should be using it.

How often do you use it? I use it about three times a week, but don’t really see any significant impact.

I've had 3 rfa procedures and cortisone shots in my lower back. The only thing that has worked is a certified trainer at a training gym. Not a big box gym

When new i was using it every day (when Home) and then tapered off a bit after that. Now I just use it for maintenance, if I feel a twinge, as I did this week after bending over potting plants last week, i jumped on it yesterday two different times. Woke up this morning fresh as a daisy…well not quite but close enough! I’ll hit it again today before I leave on my trip tomorrow.

I took an intro to golf class one summer during high school.
It covered the basics: proper club hold, putting, full swing.
I don't recall it covering anything else nor did we ever play an actual game on a coarse - just out on a sports field at the school. So no full swing with anything but a wiffle ball. Putts were okay w/ a legit golf ball.
I played a couple times after the class concluded.

Game with brother: Guess who had to locate any ball I managed to hit?
Keep your head down - check
Eye on the ball - check
Follow thru with arms and hips - check
How the heck to you tell where the ball went if you did all that?

Last game - with my father & brothers; family friend father & sons (about 8 in our party - two foursomes playing very closely together)
Friend: Let's just do a quick 9 holes
Me:
Them - around hole 4: Just have fun and keep up with us. It'll be good practice. You don't need to keep score anymore.
Me: 109 strokes... at the end of hole 4
Any questions? Or is it clear to everyone why that was my last golf game?

LOL!!

It is the most maddening of sports: frustrating, but addictive. I am terrible as well but I enjoy being out there, the camaraderie, and trying to emulate the shot whereby I (probably accidentally) really hit it perfectly. It is a feeling like no other.

It’s a close second to nude gardening

Been there. Done that. Still have the golf cart to prove it.
After my first 9 hole game with my brother. I have lost all interest in chasing a little white ball into the weeds and trees.

Hey hey… back to work!!

im a big fan making up words. “Eeeeking.” Consider it done and added to the dictionary.

My dad used to make up words.

Gription: “Al, these tires don’t have enough gription.”

Exhaustelated: the state of being more tired than tired.

Bustelated: when a piece of
Machinery is thoroughly fucked. Or having no cash/money whatsoever.

And others.

Anyway, my point is…. What was I saying??? Oh yeah.

Borrow from the dictionary of crazy Hal (and the urban dictionary) or just make up your own shit!

Holy shnoikees!!!! A guy I was friends with eons ago told me of a customer who came in to buy some ice melt because his tires didn't have enough gription. Swear to Allah I've been using that word for 30-some years or more.

I've also been making up my own shit for years, too.


Long day at work. If I had a FitBit, it would have tilted. Exhaustelated I am, but it's a good kind. Oh, and I haven't bought lunch yet since I've been here.

Does this mean you don't eat lunch?
Or that you "rely on the kindness of strangers"?

One of the best books I’ve ever read…The Kindness of Strangers. Don’t know the dude who wrote it (way to lazy to look it up), but it would have been published around ‘94? Picked it up from the library.

The premise is this guy in a high powered job in LA, gets burnt out and decides to Chuck everything and hitchhike across the Fruited Plain. He picks a basic route he wants to take and sets out thumb in the air. It’s a true story BTW.

The first Dooood that picks him up wants to blow him, so he bails and the rest of the book was incredible.

For those that will never check it out here is the overarching take: Those that had the least to give, gave the most.

Think about that for a second.

I see a bar .I'm thirsty..u?

Absolutely.... I buy, you fly.
