Decided to dig up my electric guitar and amp. Discovered the amp had an issue where the tremelo and boost didn't work. So yesterday talked about it on the facebook page of the company that built the amp and he suggested the footswitch could be the problem.

What a country. I ordered a new on on Amazon Saturday and signed up for the free 30 days Prime. And today - Hosa switch arrived. Surreal.

Surprisingly they last. I’ve used them for the last 4 moves we’ve done.

That's 1 good thing about Harbor Freight, when you need something you only use once or twice. If you ever get in a clearance jam, Use Rolling Pins or Wooden Closet Rods cut to the width you need. I got a bag of 'em!

Time for drastic measures. Out with the old White Hot Odyssey. In with the new 2-Ball Ten S Triple Track. Changing from a full face balanced to a slight slant.

Hoping this gets me back to the single digit handicap.
Putting is the magical part of golf. Alas, I am not magical.


And like you I buy putters to try. Here is what I bought yesterday. This is a stock pic not mine.

My putting improved quite a bit after purchasing a SC putter. Likely a confidence thing but none the less.

Oh yeah confidence is massively important. My first putt with it was a 5 footer on skins day for a potential money winning birdie. Never touched the hole.

But it seems I always start slow putting. Even if I practice. One of my bugaboos is almost a yip where I jab at the ball and cause 3 putts. Didn't do it once yet so perhaps it is an improvement. And I made a slick 8 footer on 18 to win a skin so first day ended on a happy note.

Prime Day. Picked up another eufycam2 and Homebase2 kit, along with an additional eufycam2 Pro 2k camera. Cheapest I've ever seen the kit ($200) or the additional camera ($103). The set I have for the back yard work great, so these 3 new cams will cover the front entrance, the driveway, and the side yard.

My hydraulic roller stool gave up the ghost, so I'll give this a shot. The top is a mini creeper that pops off and has it's own castors.

After 5 years, it was time to retire my trusty ASUS RT N66U aka Dark Knight router.
One thing I learned after such a long time using this brand, it's very solid, excellent customer and tech support, and few drops over the years.
But with sooooo much required Wi-Fi data needed throughout our house, it was time for a upgrade. Even with Cat6 connections throughout, the sheer number of apps, phones, appliances, devices, etc, definitely fight for speeds.
This bad boy will be a welcome addition! On sale during Prime Day.
The Mobile Suit Gundam Edition is a bonus.

This kit should solve first of all the problem to open/close the hardtop at speeds above of 15kph/9mph to a possible maximum of 60kph/35mph. I would set it to 40kph/25mph.
Furthermore you are be able to remote open the deck with the FOB and choose the option to let the windows remain down or got closed as stock set.
Installation should be take one hour, whens not too hot outside tomorrow, I'll install it then.

2 tubs of ON's Gold Standard, naturally flavor casein protein. I usually mix it 50/50 with their whey from the same line in the mornings.

I will say that, though, that holy crap has protein gotten expensive! I had been buying from Netrition for 15+ years but shifted to bodybuilding.com the last 2 times. These tubs went from $50ea to $60ea a couple years ago. Now they're $100ea, if even in stock. Bodybuilding.com has them for $75ea + free shipping and usually some sort of discount promo going on. I'll probably get the same whey from CostCo going forward since they pouch they carry is larger (by weight) yet far cheaper. It isn't the naturally flavored like I prefer but I have haven't been able to get that version for a year anyways and at least it still has far fewer ingredients than most proteins on the market. (Sorry..../rant)

Amazon had a good deal for this set and these cams have built-in spotlights. Got them to cover the back door and patio area. I was surprised how small they are. Like two packs of cigs side by side.
