He passed this morning.  Many of us went into science and engineering after being inspired by shows like Star Trek.

Quote:
Leonard Nimoy, the sonorous, gaunt-faced actor who won a worshipful global following as Mr. Spock, the resolutely logical human-alien first officer of the Starship Enterprise in the television and movie juggernaut “Star Trek,” died on Friday morning at his home in the Bel Air section of Los Angeles. He was 83.

That's just...sad. I was never a huge Spock fan, but I thought his work on Fringe was impressive. And it won't be hard to admit that there's a fair bit of giggling involved when his 'Trek Yourself Before You Wreck Yourself' pops up on the Internet.

      Saw these today, this is a scam.  Joined in 2026.  Click his name and then his profile.  2 posts, no friends, one item for sale.  These clubs are probably takes from Temu. Facebook

      My Swing (Ty_Webb)

      By Ty_Webb · Posted

      Range again today. A few freezers and a few smoothies. If I add a little speed I swing further arms go deeper and lower and more across again. Really like where this freezer got to on backswing:   This is a smoothie (ish). Clubhead tracks up the hands nicely but the things go a bit wrong: At normal speed: Lastly one shortish pitch shot. Pitching some days I come out and can drop it on the flag. Other days it’s going sideways. Like missing right or left by 10 yards from 50 yards and nothing in between. I suspect it’s from the hands coming out and the cut across. If I release it on that line it’s going left. If I hold it off it’s going right and then it’s timing. When it’s off it’s off. Feels like if I can get that under control it will tighten up a lot.

      Have You Played Where a PGA, Champions, or LPGA Event Has Been Played?

      By Elmer · Posted

      Disney's Lake Buena Vista Golf Course. Which I believe used to host a LPGA tournament. Fantastic course, compared to what I typically play. So fantastic I carded a 115! in my defense it was 90 degrees by 9 am in late July. Not to mention whatever grass they had around the green was absolutely foreign to me, I could not get my wedge through it. The entire grass came up like it was a piece of shag carpet. Suffice to say my short game was a mess. but good times!

      2026 Arnold Palmer Invitational

      By MentalityJohn · Posted

      The most important thing in my mind was Akshay responding all day Sunday. He was 2 over and five back at the turn and just get grinding. bridies galore and then on the fifth he bogeyed and on the sixth he played it far enough right that if he missed a little left it would be right by the hole. It was and he made the eagle. Stayed in it, kept playing great and kept getting pars. He very much deserved the win.
