Made some sourdough English muffins. Always proud of these guys. They are delicious

If I qualified, I'd do it to say I did it. Why not? What if you win? What if you keep winning? Nothing to lose makes you dangerous

Barry Bonds is unquestionably one of the top 5 hitters to ever play. He is arguably the best. Steroids do absolutely nothing to your hand eye coordination. He was intentionally walked with the bases loaded. That's screams GOAT. Pete Rose deserves to be in the hall. He is one of the best ever. He broke a rule, sure. But he was the best. And honestly, I don't care if someone cheats, it's fun to watch guys like him play.

USA in the championship game?!

I walk with a couple guys that ride and I easily out pace them. They have the advantage off the tee but after that I win.

Shock top is a gift from the gods. If I'm drinking liquor it's whiskey sours or old fashioned. If I'm trying to party, it's tequila. I'm a simple man with simple tastes

Yes. I'm a big believer in responsibility. For better or worse. What happens to you is simply what happens. That good shot you describe, isn't actually a good shot. The process is good, sure. But the result sucks. Just like in my example, the process sucks, but the result is good. Ultimately, you focus on the process to maximize the frequency of the results. But just like with everything in life, results reign supreme. It's the harsh reality. I actually feel that this topic sort of epitomizes what is wrong with modern society. When it's going bad people con themselves and say it's bad luck. When it's going good they they suck up the credit and develop entitlement. Rather than understanding that if they don't want to go through spells of "bad luck", all they have to do is bust their asses more.

The statement is in no way garbage. Golf is the sport with the most room for interpretation. When I make an unbelievable shot, why would I want to give credit to anyone or anything other than me? I did it. I made the perfect contact required for the result that was produced. You are zapping your confidence by chalking things up to luck. I don't care if I hit the cart path and it bounced off an acorn onto the green. I'm taking credit for that shot. Doing anything but is basically saying "I wasn't good enough to make the shot but some higher karma/power stepped in". If you want to think that, go ahead. I'd rather play with a confident attitude than an unsure attitude.

After a long stretch of almost daily range visits, I have to take a break due to a back injury from my repeated range visits. Will continue the journey soon.

I think it's ridiculous for that. I have mine from high school but I can't remember the price. Not one time have I ever even put it on. I mean it literally has never been even tried on. Same for my college one, except that the college one was provided to me and I didn't have to buy it. Unless you are a high school hero, you will never wear that jacket again. I'm not saying it was a bad purchase, I'm just saying it reminds me of the wedding I'm planning right now. An absurd amount of money for very little substance.

Bunker shots like that don't bother me too much. Im hitting driver and hoping for the best. If I make good contact I'm clearing the bunkers easily but either way, im taking the chance.

I love the dive back into the room by the mom. Makes it a lot more dramatic.

If you are serious about improving your scores and playing the best golf you can, getting fitted will allow you to see the best results. That's the bottom line. It's expensive and time consuming but it's the best way to go about it.

If these guys aren't in the WBC right now, they are still playing every day at spring training. It's almost the exact same thing. I know I'd rather play for something to get ready for the season than play for nothing other than getting ready at spring training.

Ironic that our pitching let us down. But Andrew Miller stilled made a nasty pitch and it just got hit. Oh well; on to Canada! I know a few of the players and honestly they take it pretty serious. It's definitely not the allstar game where it's somewhat less serious. The players get pretty into the patriotism of it all. If you look at the gear a lot of them wear, they are pretty damn prideful. You will never see a baseball player really dog it when competing. Not like in the NBA all star game or the NFL one. Especially when they are wearing the colors.

Looking good for us as of now. Knock on wood

This is my area of expertise. I can say with certainty that the USA has a better overall pitching staff than the dr. When you get to that level, the differences are minute. But if they played 100 games against each other, the USA should win 60 of them.

The secret is that you have to make a good starter. All sourdough recipes are the same roughly. The starter is a bit challenging at first. Fermenting, folding and hydration are the big parts for me. Specifically folding. I think that's where I'm needing to improve. Oh oh and I just take the dough and throw it in a loaf pan. I make rustic loaves too but obviously sandwich loaves are more useful http://www.thekitchn.com/how-to-make-sourdough-bread-224367 I'm not crazy about this recipe for a few reasons. It's not fermented, it uses yeast, and it's not a griddled muffin. All my bread must be fermented. And I use an active sourdough culture rather than yeast.

That's how I want to be. All my stuff. My loaf bread usually has 2 ingrediants. Unless I put salt on top of it when I bake it, then it's 3. Lol. I made English muffins a few weeks ago for the first time and it was incredible how perfect they were. Looked exactly like the store bought ones and had the same crumb. I didn't take pictures though, like an idiot.

lol I actually started because of cooked as well. My sister in law is "gluten intolerant" and it irritates me because I feel like it is a bunch of bs to buy gluten free everything. So I made the bread and it turns out that she is tolerant to my breads gluten. Its super easy to do but not as easy to master. I'm a big time rookie at it. It is most definitely not how I want it to be but I'm gonna keep plugging away until it's perfect. I honestly recommend taking a couple weeks and learning how to do it. I will never stop making my own bread now. My loaves blow store loaves away in my mind. So I have no reason to buy any anymore. Plus, it's very rewarding.

A few sourdough sandwich loaves I made. Bread making is a hobby of mine and I've gotten pretty into it. I don't use a bread maker or yeast and i always fully ferment my bread. 2 ingredients and fully delicious.

The DR doesn't have the pitching the USA does. Granted, it is baseball, and anyone can beat anyone. But as far as having quality and quantity, the USA beats them. American pitchers usually have an advantage over Kati ones because latins are taught to throw. Americans are taught to pitch. For the most part

Anybody pulling for any teams other than the USA? I'm loving that Israel is as hot as they are. Not too many big players but they are winning games. Fun to see a team like that.
