We will be in Hilton Head over Thanksgiving and have friends that live in Bluffton, just off the island. My bucket list is to play Sea Pines, but as long as my kids are living in the house, that course it to rich for me.
Not sure what the cost there is. We played Fazio, Shipyard, Haig Point, Fazio (again), and Trent Jones over 3 days. Cheapest was $160-ish, most expensive was $275 or so.

I won't pay that outside of this weekend. Usually anything over $100 is to rich for me.

Haig Point was a cool All Day experience. I'm not upset about that price. Had lunch, ferry rides, and shuttle all included. Near course too!
 

Was that just coil stock that you bent on a break, or were you able to purchase something pre-bent?

That eave edge shot is great to see too, makes a bit more sense seeing the pieces in place. I had someone who's done multiple metal roofs in a past career, and he said unless the manufacturer specifies, screw placement is good every 3 feet. We had already done the detached garage, with spacing every 2 feet. Not sure that it'd make that much of a difference if the eaves are screwed down well, but do you recall any guidance?

That was pre bent a bit but more of an angle. My pitch was less so it just was easy to make it less angled. Did the porch first then, the "flashing" then the shed. I horse traded some work on a 4wheeler to get the roofing materials from a shed company builder. Made life easier because we talked about what i wanted and he hooked me up big time
 
On the hard.

Funny how you find different themed restaurants where you wouldn’t expect them. Years ago on my way back from Nova Scotia, we got off the ferry and stayed in Bar Harbor Maine. One of the restaurants was all Ohio themed. Me being from Ohio, I was expecting everything to be northeastern related. Was the menu at this place all American? Did it have a Colombian twist to the American classics?

They serve everything there, italian, mexican, colombian, american, etc. But they need to add some USA beers to the menu. They have a band there, they did some 80's rock songs, spanish rock songs, and salsa. We ordered a platter with wings, mozzarella sticks, boneless chicken wings, and ribs.

The Mustang is getting some mods. With the valved exhaust and resonator delete it sounds great, a bit loud, but so far nobody in my building has complained.
I'm trying to upgrade the suspension without lowering it. So I'm upgrading the control arms with bearings, front GT350 36mm sway bar, GT350 194lbs front springs, 728lbs rear springs, ford track struts, bilstein b6 shocks. So basically GT350 front end and I tried keeping a softer rear for these roads and I ordered an adjustable rear bar for body roll, but now I'm reading that stiff bars looses traction in the rear and can oversteer. I've been thinking about selling the rear bar and soft spring set I got and ordering GT350 rear springs. I feel like there's a reason Ford chose 920lbs in the rear and soft 22mm bar for the GT350. Maybe I should keep the OEM 22mm bar because I don't want a set up that oversteers. I have virtually 0 experience with rear wheel drive cars and looking to take classes. Open for suggestions if there's anyone here who has experience with this stuff. I'm not getting replies on the mustang forum

May be Yamaha loud engines are not that bad after all

The only thing I’ll hear in there is the ringing in my ears(could be from the Yamaha engines but probably from years of running open cab tractors with no hearing protection)

Manufacturers are very reluctant to produce anything with a lot of oversteer for safety.

Big sway bars ride rougher over uneven roads too.
 
Cleaned out the last of the garden this morning.

Had one helluva’ Columbus Day weekend. Northern lights in Eastern Washington on the way over. Comet in Yellowstone. Moose sighting in the Tetons. And dinner with a bison at Fire Lake hot springs. IMG_5679.jpegIMG_1595.jpegIMG_1603.jpegIMG_1605.png

Yeah I'm worried about rough ride over uneven roads because we have a lot here. People typically put 800lb rear springs with stock rear sway for comfort/handling which has a total rear wheel rate of 869lb. But I can't do the 1/2" drop with that set up. If I put the bar at medium rate with the 728lbs rear springs I got, it will be at 891lbs which gets me close to that rate without the drop. I'm thinking thats where I should start and see if it tends to oversteer. I am thinking if I don't like it, put the stock bar back and buy GT350 920lbs rear springs and put a spacer on the rear springs to bring it up 1/4". I think Ford designed the rears with big springs and small sway bars because of the IBS suspension design needs small sway bar rates to work properly.

Also I'm not sure if this chart is accurate with my GT350 bar. From what I found, the same part number comes in 34mm or 36mm bar. I got the 36mm bar
