will end up doing all the work ourself so we shall see.

Same.

My crew has already cut and cleared two 60 foot trees that came down. One was very difficult work because all the shrubs and little trees aroubd it. The bigger tree was easier cuz it fell in a clearing.

When it was obvious the storm was over, we loaded up and drove to Atlanta for the game. I read on a GT Facebook page a post by a dude who was pissed the school didn’t push kickoff back several hours because there was going to be wind gusts of 30 mph.

When I rightfully ridiculed him they suspended my account until tomorrow.

I then deleted the group. I will tolerate no candy-assed pansies.

My wife and son also went to the game for a little bit. The weather was pretty trash but he is a senior in High School and Georgia Tech is on his advisors list of schools she wants him to visit for engineering programs so we took him to visit while we're in Atlanta. Didn't stay for the full game but did get to see the campus and look around although it wasn't a full campus scheduled visit.

Oh it gets worse

He's leaning toward
Florida

The rest of the list
GT
UCF
Vandy
Auburn
West Florida


Primarily looking for Aeronautical Engineering. We have already visited UCF and Vandy and he's already applied to Auburn. As parents , we prefer UCF at the moment but all of his friends are going to Florida. UCF has a pipeline to NASA and is located near a lot of space related jobs so that's our fave but he's making the decision so we will visit them all. Florida schools would be less tuition because he fully qualifies for bright futures in Florida and he already has the GPA / ACT and SAT scores to get into all on his list but we will see if they accept him when he applies and what kind of financial aid each offers and go from there.

Don't feel too bad. Two of my boys married diehard gators and the other married a buckeye.

I golf at Stonebrook occasionally. If you ever wanna golf let me know.

Will do. I keep a collection of golf balls I find in my backyard. May have one of yours (you can probably reach my backyard from the first tee).

The course is getting back up to speed pretty quick, fwiw. At least from what I'm seeing.

I am visiting Georgia Tech with my youngest on Friday. 4 kids and none of them applied to UGA. The 1 die-hard UGA fan is finishing up nursing school in the spring.

---

That's awesome and yeah neither one of my boys will likely even apply at UGA. Hope your kids enjoys the process. We have Auburn and Florida left to visit and see what he decides. I've heard good things about the Florida campus so if he ends up at Florida I can't be too mad at it. Good luck to your kiddo. Huge step in life is picking the school for higher education.

I like playing there - it's a solid course and a great price for a round in comparison to all the courses over here. I play at Tiger Point and Hidden Creek more than anywhere but I actually may play Stonebrook this weekend because both of my home courses are closed. We shall see if Stonebrook is open.

Thanks. My kids are like me. They don't do a huge application process.

I applied to UGA and no where else.
My oldest applied to Kennesaw and no where else (computer science).
My 2nd oldest applied to UNG for nursing and no where else.
My 3rd applied to Kennesaw and no where else (computer science).

My youngest will probably apply to GT and Kennesaw. 1490 SAT, eagle scout, took AP Calc AB and BC his junior year and got 5s on both. Is currently taking 2 GT dual enrollment courses including a math right now. We want to feel confident about GT but it is that challenging to get in. He wants to do robotics, but he is interning at a civil engineering company last year and this year. He is going to setup a backup with KSU just in case.
