Mixed bag yesterday, another day of self isolation after some morning shopping, which is always less fun.

Getting a ton of stuff done.Lots of fly orders completed.More getting done daily.Folks dropping off rod blanks and rehabs to get done.Almost no time other than hunkered in the mancave with the CD player cranking disks I haven't listened to in years.The main problem is the queen doesn't have a hobby so she's kind of bugging me with the "what are we doing today".So I got her in the yard doing the clean up and now she's enjoying it.I do the dump runs of debris she rakes and cut up.

I've been "down the road" with buying a fly tying vise[tying],attempt at rod building,flycasting,fishing at night,etc.She will fish with a spinning rod but that only lasts a little while and can be dangerous.We battled over plants,shrubs,flowers,raking etc. So I said;You do it your way and I'll leave you alone.So I do the dump runs and provide "some" funding for plantings.
So far so good!:hihi::kewl:

This fing weather pattern isn’t making this situation any easier, we get a cold sunny day, followed by a cold rainy day and no string of warm weather anywhere on the horizon.

Been great working at the course with no golfers around. Much easier to get stuff done

I hope the mass golf course association is successful in petitioning Charlie Baker to allow courses to open, because it’s safer then what I see others doing for exercise. Our course had it down, no carts, no club house access, no flag pulling with raised cups.

Pete F. 04-23-2020 12:52 PM

I did see an interesting way to deal with cups on a British you tube show.
They put the cups in upside down, makes them about an inch deep, you can leave the pin in and still pick your ball out without having to pull the pin.
You get the right sound and don't get trained to putt thru the break.

We are scheduled to open on May 5th if all goes well. I set up a net in the garage a couple days ago, so that's fun... and boring. And set up a putting station in the basement. Hmmm maybe I could hit a ball in the garage, chip through the door into the living room and bounce it off the couch :hidin:, chip again through the basement door and then putt out...
That would drive my wife completely nuts...

Yeah, you want to have as many safely distanced outdoor events open as possible; I mean people need to keep from going crazy. No reason you can’t have golf if done right. Maybe even open up some other stuff wherever you have open fields with good separation.

We are still closed at Franklin but the grounds crew is working. We have been aerating, mowing everything including fairways and rough.

Us also. We diagonally striped 14 fairways Thursday. The downside was it was as cold and windy as any day I have mowed. The upside is there are no golfers so we can really concentrate on keeping the long lines straight.

I'd get thrown out of the house

My shoulder and back won’t allow me to bang balls into a net, I just hope my game holds up, I was shooting some low to mid seventies rounds pretty frequently and was hoping for the first par round.

Was on the water by eight and off by 10:30 when the wind really started cranking. Got an early limit of tog luckily and after catching another half dozen I decided to ride the wind and waves back to the ramp.

Went on my first shore fishing trip of the season on Saturday....hiking to a remote spot to be alone.

Weather was great! For the first time in more than a month I was not thinking about C19.....more like how beautiful the ocean, sky, sunset and chain of offshore islands appeared. Casted into a spot where the breaking waves meets an outflow ...and found a couple of small stripers were setting up there. First fish nearly swallowed my sp minnow whole.

So pumped to tee one up at 9:30 and start playing again, it will be interesting to see what a two month layoff has done to the swing.

My relocated office/quarantine bedroom is on far end front of house. It is working out well. At this hour we are just about finished with the roll-outta-bed dog walkers and waiting for the made up yoga pants hotties to start parading by...
I am actually back to work so as soon as this building permit app is done I am out of here.
One year appointment with surgeon on Tuesday morning to see how I can get more range of motion and strength in my quad. (I am coming to the realization that something was severed during the replacement surgery.)

Been working every day I wish I was home could hit that punch list before the fishing gets going.
