SNOW COMING . . .somewhere. Probably here

Remember a few years ago when James Street was completed and drunks from The Cage would fall off the new curb twisting ankles saying they would sue the city?

WELL - the new railings to keep drunks off the streets were installed by DPW and AT FIRST I was disappointed and sad.  What a freaking ugly cattle trough railing.

HOWEVER - the black inserts will be replaced with stainless steel inserts with 3 different laser cut images.  WONDERFUL BRAVO!!!

and of course then "what about our schools??? Our schools for our children NEED money...we don’t NEED railings...who paid for these???"

Columbus - we complain about everything . . but we do it as a team

************************************

But there is good news - cyclists will soon have a voice.   When I put a question on facebook if there was ANY interest in a cycle group  . . it seems there is.

The Columbus ,WI Cycling Club will have it's first meeting this Sunday at 2:00 at Cercis Brewing.  Currently 40 members and growing.  I can see street lights and anything solid ringed with bikes attached to them in the future.   But HOPEFULLY NOT TREES

So I downloaded MapMyRide which I thought was a great app for biking.  Then I find out I SEEMED to have this app in the past as I had rides from 2014 showing up.

SO - I went golfing with the MapMyRide yesterday for the first time this year at The Oaks North (also called Kestrel Ridge) and decided that I should try their burgers after the round.

Why is it EVERY golf course has horrible burgers.  Seriously. Our league moved from Door Creek after 3 years of really bad food.  Kestrel Ridge? I could not even finish the burger which is REALLY weird.

Yet another frozen patty.  I understand about frozen patties if you do not sell that many but the bun was a nighmare.  What little juice the burger had at one time was soaked up by this THICK, chewy bun that acted like a sponge.  It was like 3 buns compacted into one. 

If you want to see a perfect buns.

Wait - what just happened - OH - wrong bun folder - sorry

Even Elweed said - THAT is the perfect bun (Mooyah - remember invite code RodMel08196 on the app).  It looks thick but is fresh every day and is light and airy.  OUTSTANDING BUNS!

BUT - back to golf.

I decided to use MapMyRide golfing and everything was going well

Things started to go bad on the 7th hole.

Drive, trap, trap, trap, putt putt.

and THEN the wheels fell off.  Because my old cart did not have a good place for my phone it was in my pocket and I must have switched off MapMyRide as I was entering a 6 on my GolfShot app.

SO - I decided that since my cart was the last thing I purchased with my poker winnings 15 years ago it's time for new technology.

It's sad MapMyRide was turned off as the 9th holes was rather . . . . interesting.  I was tired and lazy and the ball drifted right, towards the soybean field.  Ended about 6 inches away and 170 yards from the hole.

took a mighty swing and the ball goes right again into a trap and up OVER the edge - GOOD LUCK?  no.

I LITERALLY stood in the trap with the ball about crotch level, I stared at it for a LONG time (only 3 minutes allowed for FINDING a ball but what about just staring at it).  WTF do I do.

Well, I choked way way down, took a swing and the ball hits the green and comes to a rest 6 inches from the hole.  PAR!!   it's an easy game.

Did I mention the "8" on the par 5 before it?   Ended with a 46.

****************

There is a new show on ABC called Bless this Mess which at first I felt it was a Green Acres copy.  HOWEVER - after two episodes we love it.  Some REALLY good dialog (better then what the trailer shows).  But here is the thing - we LIKE all of the characters.

Some shows seem good but you just dislike one or two of the characters but this one - love them all and there are so many from The Office, Curb Your Enthusiasm, Ed Begley Jr. - it's just a good mindless show.

SNOW COMING . . .somewhere.

Saturday - SOMEWHERE in our area there will be snow.  The LOW is passing south of us with copious amounts of moisture associated with it.  Saturday will be a clusterf*ck with High temps NOT reaching 40  and wind chills NOT reaching 30.  Winter coat weather with strong cold winds and 2-5 inches of snow possibly.  The talking heads say SOMEWHERE to cover their ass. 

I say somewhere between 2-5 inches of rain changing to snow by the afternoon.  Maybe the Juncos who are cold weather birds will fly south again from Canada.   The storm is still 3 day away so things can move but the forecast keep getting worse and worse.

Then off and on again rain all next week until Friday.

Cheers - stay warm
