I don't know if Jacob is still at Golftec, but he did a couple driver fittings for me and was very good. It's been a few years though.

Just grabbed a bag of American Classic from Community. It's a true medium roast and might be exactly what you're looking for. Their House Blend is a little darker and richer, but still smooth.

I actually prefer both of these to their Breakfast Blend and Cafe Special roasts.

I tried using it several years ago. I can't say it helped one way or the other. But I wasn't using it as a way to quit. I was trying to negotiate with myself so I could keep drinking, just less.

I quit alcohol 312 days ago. It wasn't easy. It was difficult. There are moments and days where it still is.

But it's also the best thing I've ever done for myself. I will encourage anyone who will listen to stop consuming alcohol. I'm a better person, partner, father, etc. because I don't drink anymore.

But I still need something to take its place, and I don't mean substances. I need something to do, because cravings come when boredom sets in. Keeping busy helps a lot, especially in the beginning. Hell, I have to keep myself busy now, almost a year later.

But I encourage you to keep it up. Alcohol is an addictive poison and it's very good at its job. I was fat, out of shape, always exhausted and it cost me my marriage of almost 25 years. Fast forward to now, I'm in the best shape of my life, I'm the healthiest I've ever been, my mind is clear, I have energy for days and I just got engaged to the love of my life.

The thought of ever giving up alcohol was laughable to me at one point. Now I can't imagine the thought of giving up everything I have now.

I went the PVC sprayer route when I had my pool and it made a huge difference. Ran the pump almost exclusively at night and this time of year would bring the temp down enough to make it not feel like bath water. My pool got no shade at all, and left alone would get to 94-96°. I could keep it in the 87-90° range if I ran the sprayers from sunset to sunrise.

It was worth the extra maintenance of having to lower the pH.

I'm leaving this afternoon for Spain. I won't come back for 3 weeks.

I like the Maamgic ones off Amazon. Generally $25-$30 each. I love the built in compression liner that has a phone holder and 5" inseam. There are side pockets plus a back zippered pocket that I can put my license and credit card in. I'm 5'11" and 165 pounds, so anything longer looks dumb on me. I run, hit the gym, play beach volleyball and pickleball in them.

Ate there once. frick him and his canned mushrooms. GTFO with that.

Just started on kettlebells myself. There's a set in my apartment's gym that I've been using, and now I've decided to buy my own.

I've got a pair of 25s, a pair of 50s, then a 30 and a 35. Will get some heavier ones, but not sure about going with pairs beyond 50.

Just a couple weeks of training with them has made a difference. I enjoy the workouts as well since they focus on a lot of full body stuff. I can see and feel the difference, but this is really my first experience with weights and strength training.

Spent a day doing it myself for the cost of the cleaning products, which was $100-ish. My roof isn't very steep, so it was easy. Pump spray a section at a time, then hose it all off. A literal rinse and repeat. It made a huge difference. I had a picture at some point that showed the difference between a section I treated and an untreated one, and it was stark. If I can find it, I'll update this post.

As I said, hard pass. It's a 9 hole goat track with great greens.

Graduated with the job lined up. Went to Omaha for the CWS (we lost) and started when I got back.
