    OT: Best golf course you've ever played?

    Pronghorn (The Nicklaus course) outside of Bend was ridiculously hard. By far the hardest course I've ever played. Gambel Sands outside small town Brewster, Washington along the Columbia River is very nice and fun. About an hour north of me. Designed by the same guy who designed The Old...

    Memorial Day plans

    You will never hear the word cook-out used in the West. That is a Midwest term for sure. Maybe in the South too. I've never heard it used here.

    Memorial Day plans

    I started my Memorial Day weekend early by skiing one more time this season at Mt Bachelor, Oregon on May 14. Then on Tuesday, May 20 I jetted my way to Omaha. Rode bikes and played golf in Lincoln Travelled to some small towns. Saw lots and lots of old friends, drank some beer, ate some really...

    OT: So, the NBA is rigged right?

    LA is in trouble. An aging star in LeBron and a younger, out-of-shape, often hurt, younger star in Luca who has no interest in playing defense. Some NBA analysts are saying Luca could walk away from the Lakers via free agency, too. (Of course there is hope, the Laker fans can always wait for...

    Aaron Rogers to the Niners?

    How many SB wins do any of the guys you list have? I think it is pure lunacy to pay Purdy $55 million/year. (I still think Herbert is vastly overrated. He had one great game in a Rose Bowl, and he has been living off that since. Every time he needs to win a game with the Chargers he folds faster...

    Window Cleaning/ Gutter Cleaning

    Must be a common thing with women. I do something beyond the everyday tasks like clean the gutters, spread rock around our junipers, wash windows, repair an irrigation pipe that is buried and requires some work to get to, and I have no problem getting her to drop her clothes.

    Aaron Rogers to the Niners?

    I've read Purdy wants a $50 million/year contract.

    Fridrik Leo Curtis. Big man from Iceland is N!!

    Leo Curtis does not sound like an Icelandic name. His parents must have been foreigners and/or immigrants. Iceland actually regulates what their citizens can name their children.

    Aaron Rogers to the Niners?

    Are you willing to pay Purdy $50 million plus? I think that would be a mistake. Give him at most a Baker Mayfield contract in the mid $30 million range.

    Kentucky Derby

    There is definitely an art to betting on the ponies. One of my really good friend's dad always had racehorses back in the sixties and seventies. His older brother learned how to handicap races from their dad's betting friends and their trainer. (It seemed like the trainers always knew what horse...

    Is Teddy Prochazka done or is he going to give it another try?

    That is laughable

    OT: 72 year old Belichick dating 24 year old

    Agreed. Never have been too concerned with who is dating who. I have a really good friend about two years younger than me who lives a couple of blocks off the beach in the Belmont Shores area of Long Beach, CA. I think he dates women from 20 to 60. He seems to enjoy his life. So, if Bill were my...

    Neighbors with the most to prove!!

    We had one of the few rentals in our neighborhood right next door for the first 18 years we lived here. Some tenants were great, some bad and two should have been thrown in jail. Best thing ever happened 2 years ago is the couple who owned the house got tired of living in their classic old home...
