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.

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...

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.

Ya me too Bob. I never sheltered in place. I never stayed home or any of the other BS they have spread. I wear a mask because they won't let me into the stores without it. :rotflmao:

As you may have heard, four F15's flew over most of the Boston and Worcester area hospitals a few days ago. Well aren't I sitting in my kayak on a local pond, as it has some good smallmouth and pickeral fishing and the bonus is watching the eagles that nest on a small island in the middle of this small pond sitting in conservation land. So I'm watching the two trying to decide which of the spawning shad schools to maybe swoop down on and I hear the roar of the F15's approaching from the south. They flew low and directly overhead on route to Boston, pretty cool sight for sure.

I was happy to get out yesterday to finally tee one up after my course opened. It wasn't pretty on the front, but a lot of the rust was gone by the turn and I managed an 81, which I'm happy with after almost a 3 month layoff. Going to bing golf now until the sea bass get into upper BB.

Aren't we all enjoying this beautiful spring day:nailem:

That sure sounds good. This is the time to 'yak all right; yakkers can social distance, and boat groups can't, so this is the time for yakkers to get OTW. Looking forward to my first 'yak striper trip in a couple of weeks with my buddies.

Yo what's up Brother miss ya Buddy glad to hear that you are on this side off the turff.


As you know I work in a hospital and it's f ing crazy in regards to masks and body gear.
Before I go to work I have to check with "Mother " for clearance.
Then I can enter for work.

It's been to long since I have been here and forget how to post pics but Wednesday when ther was a friendly fly by I went to the roof and took picks of the 4 F15 Eagles.

Wishing I had a job to go back to when this all ends.

My company let 40% of us go on April 1st. I had done a 14 hour SFDC upgrade for them the day before...wish they would have let me know a little bit before hand.

No furlough, just an 8 minute FU conference call from the CEO.

Whelp, gas at $1.43 a gallon makes it easy to travel to work on the boat.

Gonna be a great year to own a two stroke.

I also nuked my FB, best decision ever!!!

Today I convert to hydraulic steering...our tax dollars at work...FOR ME!

Trust me, that guy wasn’t me. In all reality, I’d suggest that everyone nukes their FB account.

I have lots of friends with lots of different opinions. I really don’t want to hear people’s points or counterpoints. I mean that in the nicest of ways.

Real politicians run for office. The rest of us are worse than back seat drivers. I’d just love it if people just shut up and see how November goes. That should take care of everything.

Getting that damned mechanical steering out of that boat SUUUUCKED!

My younger brother is back at play with his one percenter friend... Flew down to Fort Lauderdale Tuesday with his son and another man. Jumped on 57' Gunboat 55 catamaran and headed north within hours of being launched... (ie. no sea trial, just go...) Not how I would have done it, but I don't cling to others' coattails either. He is sending in daily articles to www.SailingAnarchy.com It is like sailing on your living room couch at 15 knots. Interesting, but just hard to relate to for this common man.

From the reality column; Local guy, late fifties, coached my son's Little League team. Put on ventilator and was approved for course of remdesivir…… Sucks

Reality hit home here as well, Peg was tested yesterday, no fever but really run down, headache and sore throat. Had to do some arm twisting to get her to call her primary and after a long phone conversation, they wanted to see her. They needed make and license, arrive, flash head lights and they come out to interview again before getting escorted inside. I don’t know if they were trying to give her hope, but they thought it might be something else, but they tested anyway. No clue where she would have picked up anything as we have been extremely cautious, will be a nerve racking two day wait for results.

The wife and i are both doing okay, work and health. Wish we could drive the beaches. Minimal supply runs. Highlights are LMB in canoe, Narrow River with flyrod and MGB rides. I do feel like we're blessed in these times.
