The DisFort's Chit Chat Cafe

Hey, we're BACK!

I think @tiggerdad had something to do with it......

Well glad we are back for sure. We lost all the stuff from Sunday. I had posted, and I had sent and gotten a reply to a conversation and they are all gone.

Hey considering the recent Loss of the Extra Double Top Secret Headquarters of the NSS and the subsequent need to disperse the boys for logistical purposes , a Bitcoin ransom was a fast simple way to raise the needed capitol

 

[Stratman50th]

Yup. I thought I was in DIS jail because of the way I'm always stirring the pot and causing trouble.
Well, maybe I was but Ed was too!

But the computer asked "if I wanted to play a game,"

Next time choose Chess @PaHunter

I saw the messages, but by the time I went to log on I got the down for maintenance. Glad it could be brought back with minimal loss of posts.

This weekend I got to break in my new chainsaw. Lordy its a beast. It will serve me well here and then some.

One of my favorite movies!

I was getting a little itchy not getting my fix on here.

Seeing that this is the weekend for The Masters in Augusta, GA, it's appropriate to share my Masters memories.

Back in the late 80s/early 90s, tickets were as hard to get then to Thurs-Sun official rounds as it is today.

However ....

During that time the PRACTICE rounds (Mon-Wed of tournament week) were not tickets (as they are today) but anyone could pay a daily ticket fee and walk in (so us common folk took advantage of it).

Here is a picture my father scanned that is actually two photographs. Based on how skinny I am, the top one is about 1989/90 and the bottom one a few years later.



That's me on the left, brother in the middle, dad on the right. Based on the faded jeans, that's DEFINITELY early 90s. Photo is out in front of the clubhouse on the Magnolia Lane side (course is behind the house). The practice range is over to the left as is the Par 3 course.

Common riff raff like us can't get to this location for a picture any more. We always went on the Wednesday practice round day and stayed in the afternoon for the Par 3 contest. After 5 or 6 years about the mid-90s they went to a ticket lottery system for the practice rounds as well and our annual visits came to an end. But I have plenty of memories of tramping all over the course trying to see as much of it as you could (back then the front side notoriously got little tv coverage). And we saw it all.

Nice memories.

PS - I remember the time I was in a restroom on the course and heard the "click clack" of metal spikes (back in the day) on the cement floor. I turned my head and standing next to me using the facilities was former Masters Champion Ray Floyd. He must have just made a bogey because he didn't want to chit chat....

PPS - Bonus pix of me and mom at Amen Corner (13th green in background in early 90s).



Bottom pic is mom and dad near that location same year.

Well my hope was to begin waxing the roof of the RV today. But we ended up getting some overnight showers and the roof is wet. Thunderstorms predicted for tomorrow. So not looking good there either. See how and if it dries up, may try later in the day. Also got my supply of caulking and sealants to start redoing the roof, and also the sides which really need to be stripped and resealed.
Having the sealants means I can also change out my tv antenna on the roof, as some point.
DW has to travel for work next week, and then when she gets home our first camping outing of the year and with new to us rig.
Well time to start my day with chocolate chip pancakes, then see what kind of trouble I can get into.....I mean work I can get done.

Today was errand day. We are both complaining we are tired. He thinks it is the vaccine, i am like nope, it has just been a long week. We went to Home Depot, oil change for car, Sherwin Williams for paint, and Kroger for groceries. Weather has been rainy all day, pla for our hike tomorrow should be dry but sloppy. Next weekend we start painting ceilings. Want to paint ceilings before our new floor is installed. Which phase 2 of the remodel is supposed to start in July.

while out for 5 hours Mallory decided she needed to do something. This is how I found her when we got back.



thus is how she is supposed to be

I had to do a 2nd look. For a second there I thought you two had a cat that we weren't aware of back by the curtain.

I would say sweet Mallory was a little bored. Mommie gone too long & no attention. She is a cutie. Sure wanted to her a hug in June.

Well - after a spring break trip to the dark side, we're back at it. So, I wasn't even aware of the gap in this thread! We had a great trip to Universal and have plugged a couple of return days onto our WDW trip in August. Now my attention focused to prepping things at home for spring and summer. I managed to get the shed built prior to the trip and finished stocking it yesterday. Now I have some additional work to do on the garage and my focus goes to the trailer as I repair a door that broke last fall and try to figure out why the water pump won't work! I have 5.5 weeks between now and our first two trips of the year (back to back weekends), so I need to get things ironed out!
