3 pointsWell it’s not exactly in my backyard but it is only about ten-fifteen minutes from my house. It’s the 126th playing of the US Open at Shinnecock Hills Golf Club. I went today for one of the practice rounds that started Monday. Tomorrow official play starts. This is one of the oldest golf courses in the country and it is steeped with history. Founded in 1891, it has hosted the Open several times. It is an ultra exclusive, strictly private club except during this tournament. Figured I’d take a few pictures for those of you who like me, enjoy the game of golf. First picture is Rory Mcllroy teeing off. Last pic is my ugly mug!

1 pointWorked a shift at work this morning, Then worked around the house for a while. I then visited relatives for a few hours in a weekly meeting called “Happy Hour” at my cousin Brian’s, Then picked up the basement/workshop and worked on my R/C car for a few hours. It’s a 1/5 scale Redcat Rampage that I got on my 30th birthday roughly 15 years ago. BTW that’s a roughly 4 foot diameter table.

1 pointIt wasn’t what I did today, but over the weekend. My wife and I took our camper about an hour away to the east end of Long Island, to Montauk,NY. We got up early Saturday morning to catch the sunrise at the lighthouse. It’s a beautiful place to camp, right on the beach! In the village of Montauk I stopped to take a picture of The Memory Motel. Yes the one The Rolling Stones sang about! As they said The Memory Motel, it’s on the ocean, I guess you know it well! Technically it’s not on the ocean, it’s probably 1000’ away 😂

1 pointAll the garden tractors made by wheel horse use a simple band and drum. They can be adjusted, but the only serviceable portion is the band itself. It should be kept clean and properly adjusted. And the clutch/ brake combination on some older machines is not the reason you can't shift on the fly. It is because the transmissions do not have any form of synchronization. You have to stop to select a new gear.

1 pointWell, it's late and I smell like gasoline and thread sealer, but she's alive and kicking with no smoke. Fired within 3 seconds of adding gas. Scared the crap out of me because it was so quick! I know some will not like the voltmeter, but I prefer them to ammeters. And mine is outputting just over 13V on a 100% fully charged battery. One more thing checked off the list. Almost there. Funny side note: my wife bought this machine for me 20 years ago. Even though you think they have no interest in it, she was the first to remind me that it only took me over 20 years to get it running...
