It's 60s for the rest of the work week, but by the time I get my half-day furlough, we're looking at a high of 43.

Anything on the Cape worth playing?

Beautiful day today.  Played 7 holes; the course is in good shape but needs a bit of cleanup; lots of fallen branches around.

Great weather today and yesterday, and I can't even practice, let alone play. Jacked up my hands and forearms filling in a pothole yesterday morning and I'm so sore I can barely hold a pen to write. No way I'm going to try and hold a club.

OK, this seems like a set up, but I'll bite anyway. You jacked up your hands and forearms filling in "A" pothole? How big was this thing? Better be at least the size of a bathtub! I'll probably get flamed for this because you have some physical condition I am unaware of. Otherwise I'd just say, "Sheesh! I thought I was in bad shape!"

Well, Summer goes away and Winter returns tonight. Still, I'll take the teasers any time! It's not like I really expect Spring in late February where I live!

It was 24x16ish? I don't know, the shock from tamping really ****ed up my arms.

I'm not the biggest guy out there. My last job we used to do a lot of digging trenches and pits by hand in shale and I got pretty strong doing that, but I still couldn't keep up with some of the other guys who could swing a 12lb sledge for 10 hours straight.

I have to admit, tamping will jack you up! There's something about slamming that weight into the ground that gets you. You know what does it for me? Weed whacking! There's something about that "buzz" of the vibration that just locks my hands and arms up!

Tamping by hand sucks. At my old job we did paving with a power tamper and a plate compactor.

We are in the 40s but raining this morning.   The forecast for the rest of the month isn't conducive to golf!   :-(

From the land of perpetual cloudiness.   I'm Denny

It was very windy and cool down here over the weekend, hence, no golf. ::sigh::
