55 degrees in Ohio on Labor Day :banghead: and no boating... indoor golf does the trick! Pretty slick set up.

It's called Swing 365. They have 8 private bays and then 6 that are more open in a bar setting. Great food and cheap beer. The system they use is called HD Golf. It shows you all your stats from every swing. I thought I was good... until I realized I didn't hit a single square shot the entire round!

Is it really that expensive @Murf'n'surf ? We only paid $24 each. 3 people 2 hours. Along with $2 bottles... if they are 55k each, I have no clue how this guy is making money!

Looks like there are quite a few on the market and prices vary greatly. Here's the $55k set up.

Here's what I see....coming right down my alley. It is usually a good thing to be in the cone of uncertainty this early but I am not feeling so lucky right now.

Agreed on being in the cone this early. I too have concerns on this one. I actually know people that went and bought supplies yesterday, which I can't say is a terrible idea.

On a lighter note

My new lift installed - finally!
Makes my boating life so much easier - this is 5-10 min from home!
IMG_2968.JPG

It was a long day though. My marina/river is so low right now, with no significant rain in a while, my guys needed to dredge my slip to get the lift to work properly.

Just saying - for all you guys enjoying deep water. You don't know how good you have it!

Well, beer is 95% water, so you should be good!

With all the bad weather happening lately, a friend and myself went over to my parents house to do some roof line modifications and shingle repair before they head to Englewood, Fla. for 7 mos. All went well here, thanks to my friend being a good roofing contractor. They talk about selling the house on lake front property in a couple years and making the Englewood area year round. With the weather in the south now I am glad that these cars are still here in Vermont and have not yet been moved south.
20170909_100716.jpg 1966 912 Spent my teenage years rebuilding this with him, PO hit a tree RR quarter, totaled.20170909_100623.jpg 1930 Model A fresh off the rotisserie and mods to the drivetrain. will be on the road soon. And then there is Matilda, a pristine 29 Model A roadster, she has won 1st place ribbons at Stowe, Vt. and Springfield, Ma. All 3 of these are pristine and I am very happy they will not be in harms way.

Made my last overnight boating trip of the year a trek up to old sacramento from the sf bayarea with some old friends. I can see my boat from my suite at the Embassy Suites and overall had a great experience. The complimentary / no extra cost made to order omelets and free drinks at happy hour didnt hurt either.
