GOLF

Will somebody explain to me, in terms my small brain can understand, what in the fuck is with this Golf thing? Jesus H Fucking Christ on a crutch! Is it the rich who want you to know they are rich? Is it the poor who want you to think they are rich? Is it the middle class straining to reach the upper middle class? I have no idea.

I couldn't say it better myself.

God Bless the Internet.

One of these times, when someone asks me if I golf, which of these will be my answer?

• Golf is for fags..Ya know that wasn't a very nice thing to say about a fag.
• Golf, are you fucking kidding me? Do I look like a golfer?
• Golf? I think I'd rather be fucked a hungry grizzley bear in the ass.
• Golf....Hmmm Golf...What is that exactly?
• Golf....Uh...Golf....Hmmm....I don't play golf. I think it's lame, stupid and for fat ass fucks who can't do anything else.

Judge not, lest you be judged. I have golfed, once, about 10 years ago. I remember it quite well.

Fade in dreamy music...

At the first hole, I smacked the fuck out of the ball and thought, hmm this might be fun. Since I refused to ride in the cart, I went to look for my ball. Don't remember if I found it or not, but now for smack two!

Smack. Hmmm Ok, look at that little fucker go. Interesting. The harder I try, the farther it DOESN'T go. What in the hell is with that? OK, I can tell this is gonna be stupid as shit. Good thing I have a beer with me.

(smack, walk, smack, walk, smack, look in weeds, get another ball....4-5 holes later)

Well hell...How much more do we have of this? 18 holes? You're fucking me, right? Holy shit. Okay, smack the ball 5-10 times per hole, and do this 18 separate times? Shit. I am in serious trouble.

(Ninth hole, this bullshit is old.)

Well, I can say with certainty I sure as hell won't be doing this stupid thing again.....Good Christ, how can people do this all damned day? Better yet, these fuckers with their stupid golf clubs cart them bastards to Arizona and California and all sorts of places to play golf? Shit I see dumb asses towing their golf carts around to OTHER courses....Good God.

If you are my friend, and you golf you know me well enough to NOT be offended. If you are NOT my friend, and you were offended. Uh. Piss off.

I really hope my health is NEVER so poor that the only thing I can do is golf. I think that would be sheer hell. Worse than cancer. At least it was a challenge, and it was NOT boring.

Hanging Out

Fab and I had plans for a road bike ride today....It rained this AM, but by 10 it had stopped...off we go. Woodinville-Maltby-Snohomish-Monroe-Woodinville. We were ready to climb Woodinville-Duvall road but I decided to ride more. Ames Lake, Union Hill, Avondale, Woodinville Duvall Road. Five hours in the saddle. I think it was about 65 miles. Oh, and I rode my single speed and with the new cranks I went up to a tooth on the front...39x18. So, 65 (maybe 70) ain't bad. Not half bad at all. I was tired by the time I hit Avondale....Had to dig kinda deep to make it back to Puddinville.

Then we came back to my place, ate pizza, drank beer and played xbox...A perfect day for the men!

Damn Snow

So if you look @ weather patterns throughout the US of A, pretty much most western states are in a serious drought. Colorado, Montana, Arizona, New Mexico. What about Washington and Oregon? Uh. No. Not quite. Not close. We've got so damned much water it's scary. Hell there is still SO much snow up in the Cascades. In fact, I've been here 13 years and I don't remember this much snow, so late...ever.

So Brian and I tried to climb a simplish route yesterday, kinda near Skykomish.

Uh...hello snow.
Don't you need to go?
I've been waiting for you to melt
Even if it's slow.

I'd like to do some climbing
Instead of this stupid rhyming
And this is how I've felt
You've got such shitty timing.

An hour up the trail, it was wet, raining, cold, and snow covered. Not sure if our climing season is a bust this year....Maybe good glacier climbing, but as far as the pure alpine pursuit....I'm skeptical.

Can anybody say Vantage? How about Smith Rock?

Sopranos is DONE

So we were pretty avid Soprano's watchers. I liked it and thought the ending was rather fitting to the show. What happened there? I suspect Tony was killed, AJ joins the Hollywood scene, since he appeared to be impacted by "worthlessness" of it all, Carmela became another mobster widow, and Meadow became a mobster lawyer in pursuit of a bias against "Italian" Americans.

HBO produces the best TV on TV. However that said, the best series todate is Six Feet Under. Best drama series on television, ever. Watch it, and you be the judge.

I watched Lost. OK.
I watched Heroes. Decent
I don't watch game shows. Lame
I don't watch popularity shows. Super Lame
I don't watch reality shows. Uh.....
However, I like MTV2 Rob and Big. Funny as shit.

GMa and Kenneth - Visit 2007!

Every year my Grandmother (mom's mom) comes to Spookaloo for a visit. So we head over to see them for as long as our schedule will allow. Since I'm working again and self employed I don't get paid vacation....anyway it's good to go for a visit. Me and my nieces, my sis's kids. Casey and Reese
Mrs Dirtbagger hugging a giant chicken. Don't ask.
Me and Gma in the Spookaloo sun. The clan, Kenneth, Mr Dirtbagger, Gma, Larry, Ma, Me.

oh and Pepper, mom's runt dog.

Da Toof

Just north of da toof. Mt Byrant in the background.
Brian's Cuzzin Tim (that's how they spell it in Kansas, Ohio, Iowa, where ever. Cuzzin Tim did pretty well considering a) he doesn't hike b) he lives in where ever, and c) we move fast. I was pretty impressed since I figured we'd drop him like a hot rock in the snow the first sleep section. Nope...He hung tough. Nice job Cuzzin Tim.
More scenes pics of da toof.

BTW, we got to the first pitch and 12 people were queued up BEFORE us and that didn't include who was on the mountain. We ate a snack and decided BS on that, and headed to try Chair Peak.
Me headed towards Chair Peak, but we couldn't make it all the way over there and get off the mountain in a decent time. We had no successful summits (oh I did scramble up this little peak just for something to do) but we did have a pretty good time. GREAT glissading BTW.
