I went to the course on Sunday for the usual Winter League Squirrels Match. I found out that the hot chocolate run was going on and the entire road around Balboa Park was closed.
I found a close parking spot and entered the course from the farthest entrance. I was carrying breakfast for all the guys at the pro shop, my disc bag, two coffees and and an ice chest, goody. After spilling a bit of coffee I called my friend and work associate Xaelen and said “come get me on 8”, so he cruised across the course in one of our work buggies and picked me up. I got a ride to the first tee, like a god.
We had a good round of golf — our little winter league is growing — and fun was had. Then X and I switched places, he ran the pro shop and I was the starter. What started as a mellow day turned into insanity with randos and large groups of newbies, yikes! But nothing new.
Fortunately all my local friends know the drill so a splendid time was guaranteed for all. Around 3:30 it was time for Bobbo to go home and how did I get there? Xaelen gave me a ride back to my car, as easy as it gets.
Its been raining for days now so I used my laser engraver to make some tags for several of the local groups.
The Sunday Squirrels are an exclusive group of nutcases, all pro or close to it, and we only give out a certain number of tags so competition is tight. However there is a winter PDGA league we also play, and due to the format, we are the best way to enter and play, no charge, just fun.
Some of the tags are multilayer acrylic laminates, painted on various sides.
The next step is the Morley Field club tags. These are a bit different, I’m doing woodies to get some nice burnt text. The contrasts are nice,
The Morley fools are every local player whether or not they play in a club or league, we all just have fun at our home. When we go out in the world for tournaments, which begin next week, we always represent Morley, no matter who our sponsor is.
I decided last year to enter a few tournaments and now I’m addicted. Even at 61 I’m competitive in my group. I won’t play MA60, they have played for 40 years. I have played for 5, heh to that.
I have two tournaments in the next two weeks that are traveling, so we travel as a group, grab some rooms and have a great time.
There’s a lot of time spent on the game and it consumes one. But the travel, the scene and all my friends make this the best time of my life, and the season has just started.
Disc Golf Every Day
Yusef needs a wagon.
Under normal circumstances I park at the pro shop, unlike the parking lot. It helps to work there and be an ambassador
I strongly approve, and congrats on having the time of your life!
“Xaelen” <– I can think of three+ ways of pronouncing that. I 'hate' that our family has to spell our last name all the time. "[REDACTED} with one 't." Those Two T-ers, and receptionists' inability to listen, have screwed up several reservations in my life.
I'd love to play a round with you, but my competitive nature, tied with embarrassment, would sour things. (Meh. I'll just play you with various distractions first. You'll love it.)
Wait, “I’d love to play a round with you” Not there’s anything wrong ..
Its all in the spelling.
Drop by and see my distractions, youll never leave.
Years ago, the husband of my wife’s friend and his brother took me disc golfing.
I promptly lost their discs in the lake
They didn’t invite me again.
If you ever come to San Diego look me up, we would have a great time playing, then lunch!
Hey Yusef,
What does traveling entail?
A few miles, intrastate or interstate?
/Curious in the Woods
Anything out of county, we just played in LA county, 110 miles north. This weekend is in North county about mnutes away, no hotels but a long day just the same.
Nothing like MI
About 30 minutes away
Taxes done. Whee. 🙄
Pro-tip: going on disability really fucks with the system. Multiple entities wanted to punish me for “underpayment”.
I owe CA. 795$ for Not having insurance
/I pay cash
“You don’t have to file.”
-Hunter Biden
I didnt collect a paycheck, why file? I made no money
And about 15% of everyone else, and I’d Guess 30-40% of self employed tradesmen, and good for them, Fuck the Income tax, Property taxes are the only justifiable taxes.
Just a minute there, chief. You don’t own it if the government can take it away at any time for not paying your ‘protection” money.
You only own what you can defend, If you are relying on the government to defend “your” property than yeah you don’t own it.
In that case I (and you) don’t own shit. What’s the point? The government can take anything away at any time they like.
I don’t have to like it. It’s wrong on a moral level.
I have a disability retirement. I don’t even get 1099s anymore, because people were including them in their taxes, and completely screwing up the system. Not reportable means just that.
Mine should be ending soon fingers crossed.
Oh and there is still the madness where I pay taxes to a state that I do not live in and do not work in.
Since 4x brought it up, I went to the last tournament with my young trans friend Jayson.
Very cool guy, firefighter that voted Trump, I did get a hotel.
Fuck NA and his fucking IFLA predictions.
Great googly moogly- today was a shitshow of an EPA compliance test. Damn near anything went wrong that could, starting with low-power to my trailer. The facility could only cough up 240V (I prefer 480), and when loaded down, 1 leg only showed 90VAC. Analytical test instruments dont like that. They behave strangely. Seems NA may have gotten one right:
Virgo: The Tower – Bad. Really bad.
(Sorry to go OT so soon- HEY YUFUS!)
I Hate That!
Temp power for a large project. AC works great til everyone shows up then power load drops vac to 189v, derp!
Tall Cans!
The sad thing is that Im at a place that uses waste to make electricity that they put on the grid and sell, to the tune of 2.4 MW.
But I get shitty 240V. Not even a decent welder’s receptacle.
Waste not,
For electrical generation that is

From Jeff Childers, this morning, on the “Team Trump security leak snafu”:
Maybe the most significant message was found in what was missing. The texts included no mention of the inflammatory issue of Israel. Rather, the texts appear to confirm Israel had nothing to do with it — a claim that half the Republican base would have disbelieved had it appeared in a dry position brief or in clumsy public comments.
This way, a hostile journalist convincingly and elegantly explained, indirectly, that the US was not doing Israel’s bidding, without Trump having to awkwardly deny it— a political unforced error that would have infuriated the Israelis.

I read Golblums account of the story, Israel was mentioned in passing but nothing unusual
Goldberg, whatever, guys an ass

All 5 please,
Wow
number 3 is turned up to 11, looks like an actual person and 30 years ago I would have planned my next 50 years all about that. My goal in life would have been she would think the best thing she ever did was to let me make those 50 years all about her.
Im glad I had 31 years with Wendy
@Ted’S, Cunty Aunt Susie is sitting with the knowledge that I have beaten her into submission. Signature and “for sale” sign imminent.
MOJEAUX, WHAT IS BEST IN LIFE?
I had a friend who was visiting San Diego for a week for work. Since he was staying close to Morley Field he brought his disc golf bag with him. Over the weekend he went to Morley Field to play and said he hooked up with two local guys. After they finished the round he asked if they wanted to play again and offered to buy some more beer if they would drive. They agreed and they all drove to a liquor store where he bought some more beer. Instead of driving back to the course they drove to a deserted industrial park and robbed him. No violence, just told him to fork over his wallet and to get the fuck out of the car. They took his golf bag, too. He said he never saw it coming. This happened back in 97 or 98.
Too lazy to actually do it, but a photoshop text chain with all the Trump guys from that Signal message where they are talking about how they’d bang Gabbard only for her to chime in saying she was invited, and them denying it, that would be comedy GOLD right now
That would be great!
I didn’t realize she’s married until quite recently – he keeps a low profile.

Heavy metal with a chance of sunny-side up chicken soup?
One of the most ‘90s sounding songs or THE most ‘90s sounding song? My money’s on Semi-Charmed Life but whatevs, it’s better than current popular music.
My music links are better than current pop music, too.
Good morning, Sean, U, Stinky, Ted’S., Evan, homey, and CPRM!
Morning.
How goes?
Well, thanks! The boss works from home today, so after I give final approval to payroll, I’m hoping it will be another fairly quiet day at work. How are you?
The agency rolled out a policy where, starting next week, everyone needs to be in the office on Wednesdays. They haven’t changed the 50% remote agreement with the unions, but just mandated that wednesdays must be an office day for everybody.
I am already in the office on Wednesdays, but I’m not looking forward to the added noise.
I get paid today, but it’s probably going right back out the door to cover bills.
In two weeks, I get to go to the CIA to learn to cook seafood. My goal is to learn how to fillet a fish. I can’t now, but if I can manage that by the end of the class, I’ll regard it as a success. (If the class doesn’t cover filleting a fish, I’ll be disappointed.)
I know where you’re really going, but you must admit – the jokes just write themselves.
🤨🤵🤿
UCS, had you have gone to Canada with us you’d have had a lot of OJT filleting fish, from day one. By the end of the week you’d have been a pro.
We ate a lot of walleyes.
Eh, those walleyes were too fresh.

People be crazy.
Morning y’all. Break ending and I’m gonna be out on “Dispensing” for the first time. Should be interesting, one way or another.
Payday tomorrow, or should be. *Fingers crossed*
I get paid tomorrow and have a day off Friday.
Ten years in prison makes for an expensive meal, surprising coming from a guy whose mugshot indicates such a reasonable fellow.

I forgot to mention that my last gal pal used to work in cafeteria of the NSA building I worked in, but that’s not where we met.
So NSA kind of was a dating service for me.
I’m still in touch with her, which is nice. Unfortunately, there was little chance of us staying together long term for various reasons.
How are the Florida women?
I thought it’d be a target-rich environment, but I’ve only had 1 date in 2 years of being here.
