That sounds really off to me.  You'll have to tell the story sometime.  Sounds kinda 1960's attitudes.  If it's more contemporary I could see the whole operation being shut down... (Maybe you shouldn't tell me, I'd have an obligation to do something).

Guitar, singing and song writing.  I have built a few guitar amplifiers and effects as well, which was fun.  Love to cook and try different wines.

Yep. 1980. Pilots flying skydivers are required to wear a parachute by Federal Regulation. Head pilot for the operation was in the plane and landed it. You're right. That would make the national news these days....!

They still have to wear bailout rigs.  We usually teach our pilots through graduation anyway.  But it's always voluntary.

I shoot a Mathews.  He is my uncle.  I don't shoot a lot but enjoy it and of course being in WI we do some hunting.  It is a nice break from golf in the fall.  We all went bow fishing on Tuesday as well.  That was pretty fun.  Had not tried it before.

Your uncle's name is Mathews and you shot him? ;-) Sorry, I'm just a dingleberry with nothing better to do. :-)

Yep now Jr. owns the company.  You dinglefairy! I never could figure out why it is Mathews and not Mathew's though.  It is actually named after his son.  He also makes these guitars .  His side got the brains, our side...um I gotta go.

There are very few pilots who will voluntarily jump out of a perfectly good airplane! :-O

Yeah he is essentially and inventor/engineer, owner and founder, but spends most of his time in R&D.;  They do make great products, he calls it advanced simplicity.  He believes in making things more efficient through simple effective design, invented the solo cam for that reason.  He takes that approach to the golf course.  I think he plays about once or twice a year with a 3W a 7i and a putter.

I will have to check them out.  Pedal Acquisition Syndrome is worse than GAS!  I am a fan of Analogman and ZVex.  Building pedals was fun, but sometimes I would spend hours trying to find why the circuit wasn't working.  Best thing about pedals is your can buy and sell them when you get bored with them.

      Day 10 (10 Jun 26) - Played in the midweek shootout at my home course - on aerated and sanded greens - day of trying to figure tempo to get the best roll on the greens.  Approach game was decently solid as was shots off the tee.

      My Swing (saevel25)

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Ok, I'm trying to find a feel to hit a consistent ball flight (irons).  My current predicament.  1. I try to do the arms down stuff better, with the club feeling like it is way behind me more. It's just a cluster of results. Most of the time, I can't get any speed on the swing. If I get my arms down faster, I just throw them out.  2. I focus all my attention on turning better. Pushing off with my left leg and getting my right side through better. On the DTL view, this doesn't produce anywhere close where the hands and club should be. The result is usually ball first contact, lower ball flight, more centered contact.  At this point, I am going with option 2. Stop thinking about what the hands do. Just make a shorter backswing, keep it wide, turn through. Somehow, the club head finds the ball. My focus is so much on just making sure I turn, it's like, "Oh, that contact was better.... Oh, that bell flight looks playable." If not, I will just be practicing my entire summer.

      Brendan Sorsby Sports Betting

      Nope, they spent too much money. They are in over 28 million on the football roster and related NIL compensation at this point. Boosters associated with any Texas college football team has HUGE sway. The AD is between a rock and a hard place. They put a lot of money into Sorsby, at the chance of winning a NC this year. If you move on, you basically wasted a lot.  This is why Ohio State wants 3 QB's they feel can start. That is why the backups the past 5 years at some point transfer. Texas Tech has no backup near the quality of Sorsby. If they move on, they are screwed for 2026.

      Maybe there's something I still don't understand about the situation. Wouldn't Texas Tech do itself a favor to move on from Sorsby at this point?

      Day 281 6-10 Full swing, fast, getting low point ahead of "towel".  Working on flow during this seems to help.
