re: We all know pools are for suckers, how bout hot tubs?
Posted by Lou on 4/25/25 at 11:15 pm
Honestly not that much. In my old house I had one that was a small four seater that ran on 120. I sat in it almost every night. Other than the cost of filling it up once, which really wasn't that noticeable on my water bill, you pay for chlorine or bromine, pH adjuster, test strips, filter. It's not more than $100 per year to maintain a hot tub. Also depends on the size and price of the hot tub, and how well you take care of it.

re: My parents are claiming my online degree from LSU "doesn't count"

Quit worrying what other people think - including your parents. You are an adult now. Yes always be respectful, and love your parents, but honestly what they think of the status of your degree, it has zero bearing on reality unless you let it.

No because I am not a thief.

Ironic that Chavez criticized illegal aliens taking away US jobs, and wanted to close the southern border between the US and Mexico. And the sanctuary State of California has a holiday for him.

Cape Horn is the most dangerous ocean passage in the world. I wouldn't even want to pass through it today, let alone on a wooden boat in 1850.

Need to know what state you live in and size of trailer. I don't recall having to put new stickers on the trailer every year, only on the boat.

I leave my phone in the kitchen, I don't even take it to the bedroom.

re: Anybody deal with Tennis/Golfers Elbow?
Posted by Lou on 2/25/25 at 12:07 pm
Glucosamine with MSM. Years ago I struggled with chronic pain in my elbow. Happened to mention it to my dentist, and recommended I try those supplements. I took them for a week or two and the pain disappeared. May not work for everyone -- but not an expensive attempt if you want to give it a try. Good luck to you - that kind of pain sucks for sure.
re: Most exclusive course you have played
Posted by Lou on 2/25/25 at 11:54 am
Pinnacle Country Club in Rogers, Arkansas. Hosted an LPGA event for years, not sure if they still do. Had a college friend who lived there and was a member and invited me out once. I also played in a charity tournament there and met Fuzzy Zoeller - he was cool and approachable. They have the most difficult rough I have ever played. Fescue cut no closer than 3-4". They are proud of it too - they instruct carts to stay in the fairway rather than drive through any part of that rough.

quote:July 2020, Hole #17 at Genoa Lakes - Ranch course in Genoa, NV. 315 yard par 4, high elevation, wind at my back, and not scoring well anyway, so I decide to give it all I got just to see how close I could get to the green. I caught it clean, and thought it would be somewhere behind one of the sand bunkers or maybe in it. After looking around for several minutes, I jokingly told my wife "oh let me check the cup" and sure enough, it was there. Pure luck, but I will take it. That is my one and only hole in one, and I have been playing golf for 35 years.
i wonder if anybody here has driven the green on a par 4 and made a hole in one for an albatross

Talk to your general physician. Tell them at a high level what you are struggling with, and ask them for a recommendation.

re: Are there any Truckers on here that have been through the check points/scales entering CA?
Posted by Lou on 1/12/25 at 8:48 pm
They are mostly checking for pests/insects that could damage crops or harm livestock. If you are hauling food or animals they want to ensure you aren't bringing in an invasive species. Same if you are towing a boat, to make sure the hull is clean of zebra mussels, etc.
