Went to the driving range again tonight. Looking forward to playing golf Saturday.

 

[Minderella]

you should come golf at my course, ill give you a good deal.

 

[AUFred]

where is this course?

 

[Minderella]

haha, in the UP of Michigan.

its just a tiny little 9 hole course--but it's pretty nice, everyone seems to like it. and it's cheap anyways.

 

[AUFred]

9 hole courses can be fun. The course I am playing Saturday is pretty long.

Going fishing this morning with my daughter.

 

[AUFred]

Got to go fishing again today. Another interesting day. Rained off and on the whole time I fished. I was wet in places I did not know I had. Caught some fish which is always cool. Largest weighed 4 pounds. I was bass fishing.

 

[AUFred]

Still finding injuries & ant bites from Saturday.

 

[AUFred]

Looks like I am bowling a few times this week.

I hated summer leagues in bowling.. It was always so slow and people would take their sweet time..

 

[AUFred]

Bowling is kicking butt at the moment. Sporting a 201 average. That excites me. Had to replace the battery in my truck this week. Waiting to get prices on some trees being removed.

Take my money please:

I went to Lowes to get a pressure washer today. This was far more fun than it should have been. They had one out front for $249 looked like it would work for my needs. I go inside just to see what else they have. The ones inside start at $319 for a gas powered pressure washer. I go to the front desk and ask about the pressure washer out front. the girl says it is probably a return or repaired unit. Should say so one the tag. I go back out and look at the tag. Only says reduced from $279. I go back in and tell the girl at the front desk. She pages someone from that department and says she needs the number off of it. I go back out get the number and give it to her. By the way it is missing the hose between the pump and the wand. The girl from the pressure washer department gets a manager to come outside with us. He tells her to get a hose, nozzles, and oil and deduct those from the price on the unit. I made sure I was still only spending $249 + tax. Front desk girl number 2 gets involved. Rings up the missing items deducts them from the price and says, "That will be $207." I explained that she had to charge me for the other items too. Finally get that all straightened out. $272 and change. I go out to the unit to wait for a different manager to come unlock the cable. As I am waiting I look in the unit. No oil. I look at what the girl sold me. 2-cycle oil. I called the girl back over and explained that is not a 2-cycle engine and there is no oil in the unit. She had to go get me the right oil. I hope this stupid thing works after all this hassle.

I got one at Costco for $249 that's electric and works fantastic..

They did have gas ones for $349 but I did not need one as powerful as that..

That electric one strips the paint right off my patio.. :willy_nilly:

 

[AUFred]

power washing went well. Now the MIL wants her drive power washed.

My wife and I are trying to revive the economy. This week's expenses. Buy the son car tires and fix our heat pump. I also have a tooth that is temperature sensitive.
