[QUOTE name="Ernest Jones" url="/t/72760/social-thread-chat-about-non-golf-here/738#post_1088662"]   This will be our first real vacation in over 10 years . Driving to the maritimes every summer to visit the parents doesn't count. Kids are staying with Grandma. :beer: [/QUOTE] WHOA! Talk about well deserved. I hope you have a fantastic time and indulge in many rum drinks with those mini umbrellas. My brother goes to Punta Cana every year...the pictures he takes are marvelous. that's the difference between a "senior software engineer" (him), and "a guy that does odd jobs at a local television station." (me)

Thanks bro. Really look forward to it.

Yours in earnest, Jason.
Call me Ernest, or EJ or Ernie.

It really is a simple fix. If you want I can post a video that would help with this. Gotta keep the wrist flat when turning the wrench.. and no over the top action..

First off, you definitely have to shut off the main.  Then you will need to drain as much water from the system as possible.  Open up any fixtures on lower floor levels?? The below pic is of

What are you doing for New Years Eve?

We were just going to go to a movie and go home early, but the wife just committed to going out to dinner with a small group. Still going home early, I hope.

Stay in and eat something good. Just can't go out NYE anymore, everything is so crowded and expensive. Last time we went out for NYE I booked a res at Capital Grill and it was $340 before tip, food was just okay. I can toss a prime rib in the over for less than it would be to eat at TGIF.

This will be the first time in 20 years that my band isn't playing on NYE. I guess I'll go watch another band. ???

My wife and I are taking an early flight tomorrow to Orlando to meet up with some friends for the MN Gopher bowl game! Looking forward to getting out of the cold and enjoying a long, warm weekend!

Tomorrow I'm going to a funeral for a 14 yr old friend of my daughter who shot herself Christmas evening. Will be the saddest funeral I've ever attended. I just wish these kids could understand that tomorrow or next week or next month are not too far away and things will always look better down the road. And, I wish she had found a way to confide in someone. Talk to your kids, dammit! I'm not blaming the parents here but jeez, there must have been clues. Devastating. Apologies for bringing down the mood but got it off my chest.

That is horrible, but I have to tell you there are not always clues. Nobody knew my uncle was depressed, let alone suicidal until his son found him. It is indeed, very sad to lose someone so young.

That's a really hard age for teens, this is so sad. I have no words to describe how I feel about a loss like this to the family. I wish the best for your daughter to get through this difficult time.

Thank you Lihu, she's handling it pretty well. It has been a sad week.

Just want to clarify, it wasn't necessarily my loss, I didn't know her well. My daughter hadn't been very close with her for a couple years, although they were still friends. It is a great loss to all of us when a sweet innocent little girl has so much pain that she feels this was the only solution. Who knows what she might have contributed to society? Damn.

Maybe so, but I know when my kids are hurt, I am hurt. Our friends son ended his life last spring. It makes no sense to me. The hardest part was watching my kids look at all the pictures of them playing together when they were little.

Just FYI, depression is an illness. It's entirely possible for parents to know full well that their kids are in trouble and to do everything in their power to help them and have it still not be enough.

My wife and I are taking an early flight tomorrow to Orlando to meet up with some friends for the MN Gopher bowl game! Looking forward to getting out of the cold and enjoying a long, warm weekend!

My New Years Eve will be spent living vicariously through butt3r3dt0ast and Ernerst Jones.

Both the wife and I  get up at 5 in the morning for work on New Years Day. Double time and a half though for both of us.

Sad. Depression can be devastating. I just hope that other kids don't get the message that it is an option when they are troubled.

QFT. Struggling with some of this now, and we are darn near the "everything in our power" part you mention- not sure it's enough.

      What'd You Shoot Today?

      By WillieT ·

      26 Nov 24 -  It was not a record breaking round by any means, but rather a simple walking of the back nine today playing TBWB (two ball-worse ball) where the challenge is to play the worse of the two shots played - could be an errant drive from the woods, a tree knocked ball that is 100 yds farther back down the fairway, a nGIR ball as opposed to a GIR….the goal today was to stay no worse than bogie thru nine.  Managed to achieve that goal - bogied 7 holes with one dbl and one par to counter the dbl.  It’s about staying focused and not letting a bad shot or lie derail, but rather be an opportunity.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By WillieT ·

      Day 208 (26 Nov 24)- Opted to walk 9 today (was the back nine as they had a huge group going off the front) but instead of it being persimmons and blades, I had the regular gamers but made it a TBWB (two ball-worst ball) round.  This really challenges on several fronts - ball striking to be as consistent as possible, course management from non-optimal lies and keeping your head in it as it can be depressing to nail a shot on line-on target and the second rattles the trees right and it’s over 50 yards back and that’s the one you have to play.  The goal was to be no worse than bogie overall (+9).  Finished the round exactly on the number with some solid recoveries, no penalty strokes and only one 3-putt.
