Playing with the new toys. Golf course and range is closed for the Winter. Got an outdoor practice net and turf along with a Rapsodo MLM (Mobile Launch Monitor) which is basically a pocket Doppler radar unit that you attach your iPhone to and it will record your shot and tell you every thing you could ever want to know about it including a shot tracer if your at the range (no net). Pretty amazing unit for the $$$

Beside the two things that always happens -- death & taxes, in Wisconsin we have a third. One week after ice freezes, fishermen will be out there knowing the
the ICE is nice and thick, BUT it tends to float away with a little wind. And usually, they come to only rescue you, your equipment is left behind.

Made our way home from So. Cal. with a planned overnight stop at Lake Havasu City. There's a stretch of about 150 miles across the high desert between Barstow CA and Needles CA with very few stops or services available. Sidewall/Tread separated during the last downhill section at about 80mph. Warning lights came on and I got to watch it count down to about 10lbs as I pulled off on the first Needles offramp that just happened to have a tire shop at the end of the ramp. The truck stayed straight the whole time, never really even pulled to the right, thank goodness for the TPI systems. 1-1/2 hours, $1,335.00 and 4 new goodyears later we were back on the road. Other than oil changes, filters, wiper blades etc it's the first money I've put into this truck since I bought it 4 years ago.
That tire shop knows the perfect place to setup shop!very few stops or services available.
Whoa! Glad you're OK, but $1,300 for tires!!!
You ever driven through Needles? LOL
Cell phone cameras are amazingly convenient, and work equally amazingly well, but they lack the optics of a "real" camera. When I need really good pictures, I pull out our Canon EOS Digital Rebel. AFAIK, no cell phone can match the optics of even a low-end dedicated camera.I wish I understood cell-phone phtotography. Same sunrise, same settings. In real life, the first one was more interesting:
That actually makes me feel a bit better, thanks Mike, Happy New Year to you!
