  1. A reminder that the Oshkosh Fly-in starts today. There have been some interesting planes come across Flightradar24 this morning.
  2. What is the difference? I didn't hear his comments with zinger muted.
  3. Same here. I reserved 2 nights at a KC Marriott. Things changed and I needed to drop the 2nd night. I tried the online option to modify but it would only allow a total cancellation. Tried to reach a person and sat on hold for way too long. I finally cancelled the whole shebang and went to the Hilton property next door. Fuck automated systems that only do part of the job
  4. No. The boy in the bikini panties has a dick
  5. My Dad had a part time gunshop so there was always shit around to get us in trouble. He was a railway mail clerk so his schedule was at Home- 2days and on the road- 2 days so we had plenty of time too. We would put .22 shorts in a loose fitting hole in his anvil and hit them with a 3 lb hammer. It would make a bang and the bullet would fall at our feet but there was little pressure to speak of.
  6. 8-10 year old Shox went on vacation to the Ozarks with the folks and brought home a corncob pipe. My buddy Fred had a much older brother, we had heard him talk about smoking grass and weed. Not knowing any better, we packed the bowl full of grass clippings. I figured I needed to pull air through the pipe to get it lit and damn near set my lungs on fire. I had trouble talking for a week or so and never told the folks why.
  7. The wife and I are going to chase from Abilene, KS to Kit Carson. We'll have room in the truck if anybody wants to go along. I promise not to leave your body in the sage flats.
  8. Guy in Wichita that has a golf shop, Sticks 96. Former club pro. https://www.sticks96golf.com
  9. Owen Wilson You fuckers are slipping
  10. Update: I had a session with a teaching pro to see if there might be a fix. He watched me putt for about 5 minutes and had me try to make 5 in a row from about 5'. I struggled with that after making the first couple. He noticed that at address I had the shaft leaning away from the ball, increasing the putter loft as it were. He had me address the putt, take a look at the hole, forward press the shaft and use that motion as a trigger. Instant improvement. We played around with a putter that has adjustable grip weights and settled on adding 75 grams to the shaft. 5 in a row was much easier with the press and counter balanced putter. Big improvement. With more weight between my hands it is much easier to have a smooth takeaway and putter strike. I played in a senior tourney today and shot 80, took 5th in my age group and cashed 2/3 of my entry. Its still not feeling completely natural but Im getting my head wrapped around it. Thanks for all the replies.
  11. The skin that forms on non-instant chocolate pudding is the best. Banana pudding skin is almost as glorious.
  12. I thought that was Pete Rose for a moment. Or Owen Wilson.
  13. I didn't see anything tonight to make me think it won't be a sweep. Tampa took their lunch money and sent them away crying.
  14. You have to play to the horn, buzzer, whistle, what the fuck have you. Habs defense did not. Two chances to deflect and they did not
  15. This is actually the case. The yips diminish as the intake goes up.
  16. Really like the intro to this. Manu Katche was the drummer on the studio version, not sure if this is him. Oleta Adams is great. It is not, duh
  17. The caring is the issue, for sure. I was so good on shorter putts for so long that when I missed a few I started to question everything and it all sort of avalanched from there. I had a reputation to uphold, dammit. I played last night and missed one 4 footer but made 3 putts from 10'+. The miss was a breaking L-R downhiller , but my trigger was better and the takeaway was smoother. I'm a lot calmer than I was when I started this thread. I have a session with a putting whisperer scheduled for Friday so I'm hopeful.
  18. This might be the longest this thread has gone without being bumped. Y'all OK?
  19. I don't know. Lightning bullied them pretty good. I'm not sure the Habs can stand up to them.
  20. Wow! See something new all the time. Slapped it out of midair. 3-1 TB
