no big deal ? but, it will help some of the newer folks , not to get confused..I do enough of that with   Hack's   COMs  coming  through on differant  Threads..which..i must admit is part , on purpose. Since it adds to  'if you missed it, you're out of luck"  thing!

I think Henry missed the part where Tess was already at the top of the tunnel...

yeah?  I'm  just goign with it as he reached the top   and she's waiting   for  Larry and Freddie

I've kind of gotten to the point where I'm using my golf game to gauge my general stamina...I walk, both because it's cheaper to not rent a golf cart and because all the walking is good exercise...but when I started playing this year, by the time I finished nine holes, I was pretty much DONE.

Now, granted, today was kind of a special case...the temperature was in the 50s (unseasonable cold snap) and I had to take about ten minutes to just stand under a tree and wait for the rain and hail to blow over...but I got to the end of nine, and said to myself, "Hey...I feel like I'm good for nine more..."  So I went into the clubhouse, paid for the other nine holes, and kept playing.  Had to stop again for another ten minutes for a different rain/hail spat to come through (that's one problem with having your course right at the foot of the mountains...clouds run up against the mountains, pile up, and start storming, and tend to rain--or whatever--harder there than anywhere else in the valley).  Got to the end of eighteen, and thought, "Y'know...I feel really good right now.  I should be more tired than this, that's a LOT of walking over a lot of uneven terrain."  Even my on-again-off-again knee was doing great (granted, I wore a compression brace...but that's well over a mile by the time you start to calculate in all the additional distance walked off the centerline from tee to green and between holes, and this course has a LOT of up-and-down changes to it, which makes it even more taxing to walk...)  Not only did I walk away from it feeling pretty good, but it only took me three hours to do eighteen holes, by myself, and I wasn't rushing.  Considering the last few times I've gone out, it's taken two and a half hours, playing in a threesome or foursome, to do nine holes, I'm pretty impressed (I typically expect nine holes, at that course, to take just over two hours).

The bad news?  I lost two balls...both on the same hole.  Had a very anemic tee shot, decided to try hitting another one that went WAY right and actually hit the side of one of the houses built along the edge of the course (glad it didn't hit a window!  And glad nobody was out in the yard!)  Tried hitting another one, that didn't go as high or as far right, but still went right through the fence and into someone else's yard...so I decided to just play my original ball, in spite of the bad tee shot.  That hole was my worst of the day...not counting the two failed provisional tee shots, I still ended up five over par on that hole...)  In spite of that, I felt like it was a really good day for me.  My game isn't consistent...but it's trending toward that, and improving.  If I could get a solid grasp of chipping and putting, I'd be a threat out there...too many holes where I should have had a birdie or par and ended up three-putting the hole...)

But I'd also been mildly concerned because I've had a slightly increased cough over the past couple of days (I've also had increased sinus drainage, due in large part to the shift in weather).  I've had chronic sinus issues and post-nasal drip for years, now, so I have a little bit of a chronic cough as a result, which doesn't help your peace of mind with the whole Covid-19 thing going on.  But if it's Covid, it's a SUPER mild case, because in spite of the cough and the sinus issues, I was not having any problems with being short of breath out there (I mean, yeah, there were a couple of hills where I was panting a bit by the time I got to the top, but ANYONE would be out of breath pushing a set of clubs up those hills.  I still recovered quickly enough to tee off without significant delay...)

::chuckles:: reminds me of the old days!

Sadly...I lettered in Golf in Highschool.. My senior  year the Caoch ..FINALLY..let ne be on the startign 6 ( the rest of the time you olay  after the starters  go, and if you can beat them, you might get to start the next week...MIGHT..being , if the  coach felt like he should.)

  anyway I went undefested the handful of matches  i played.. it was too late the help the  team , cause the rich kids had  got thier butts  kicked most of the year...to be fair?..I used  'gamesman ship' that i learned from  a book by Lee travenio..

  You know someone's  cheating, But you can't say 'hey!  you cheated"..so you do little things..." Wow!..that was a greats hot.. I'm Layign to..you're in a great spot  for Lying  3!"

 that tells  them you are watching  and you stated   the score

 the very best thing i ever  did  was one of  Lee's classic things he did  as a shark.. you give uour  head a shake  and say to the guy who's having a great gane.."..Man's..I'm struiggling.. and you're really on today?.. Tell me?  do you inhale , or exhale on your Follow through?"..some kids.. it doesn't bother them..other guys..it  wrecks thier game...

 same with  havign a Blind  green?... Doh leg..or  maybe  Goe over   a Hill?  you say somehting like,"..Man, I hate this Hole, I hooked on last week and never found the ball, put  me behind by 2!...MOST...player   will hook or slice thinking about it

 anyway, we  rarely used a  riding CArt..but the  last  10 years i always  hand my bacg strapped to a  pull cart..I had  my own, but sometimes   there wasn't  room in another guys car..so i would rent one, back then? 50 cecnts..1.00? ( anyhting more i'd  carry the damn thing!)

 But you do get tires, walkign up and down hills soft fairways from the rain... I quit right after i got hirined in the Post office, figured i was doing enough walking!

Yeah, one of the worst things you can do to a golfer is get them started analyzing their game.  Since I was by myself yesterday, I just started a YouTube video of Gabriel Iglesias on my phone and left it playing, to give myself something to think about besides my swing (I should talk to the people I play with when I end up joining a group...help myself stay out of my own head.)  The mental part of my game is definitely a weak point...I need to develop more of a routine (one of the best things I did yesterday was take practice swings until I felt satisfied with my swing, and THEN step up to the ball), and I still have a hard time shaking off the 'well, EVERYTHING is going wrong on this hole' thing...although I'm getting much better at shaking it off with the next hole.

for the sake of RP  and  info...on the shuttle loadouts, are the KIAs  and  Wounded marked not many , becuase of the  mechs and Tanks..it could  have been  a heck of alot worse.

 Pilots  won't be known  until Morris   and the other  ships  sort out  whose pilots  might have landed where..or  Pods that get fished out of the Black

Got some stuff planned for this evening, so I can't post until much later...but there's a post coming.

thanks for the ehads up..lots  of stuff goig on for the crew anyway

So, that FB group I'm in that's doing the staged readings is still going...I don't participate as much because...well, I'm at work on Wednesdays when they read, and I'm doing an online stage combat refresher class on single-sword techniques on Thursdays...but tonight, they did Part One of Harry Potter and the Cursed Child, and I got to read both Ron Weasley and Dumbledore...Ron's a fun part, especially the way it's written in this...but Dumbledore is actually one of those roles that I would love to get a chance to play (I'm more of a Richard Harris fan than a Michael Gambon fan, but the series would likely have had to be done very differently if Richard Harris hadn't died after the second movie, because, well, he was OLD and couldn't have been as physical as Gambon, although I don't doubt he would have given it a solid effort!)

They're going to do the second part next week, and I think there were enough of us who said "Tuesday is the ONLY day I can do it" that they'll stick to that schedule.  There are some really fun parts for both Ron and Dumbledore in that half of the story, too.  (It should have taken us a LOT less time, but not everyone is on top of their lines and there's a lot of gaps where someone finishes a line and the next person starts, even in scenes where the second person is supposed to interrupt the first.  But I've also noticed that not everyone reads their parts before-hand...some people have said they don't want to ruin the surprise for themselves...personally, I try to go through the script before we read it as a group and highlight all of my lines...if possible, in different colors for different characters, but that doesn't always work...so they're not only trying to process the story, but they don't always realize when it's their line to read...and then there's always the random guy who forgets to unmute his mic when he hasn't been in any scenes for a little while and then he comes back up.

But it's still a lot of fun to be reading these parts, and I've gotten the chance to read some stuff that I would never, quite likely, get cast for (and in one case, definitely would never get cast for, because we read the Colin Trevorow script for Star Wars Ep 9, which is a film that will never be made).

Ummmm...Nikki?  I'm currently carrying Gregor, and heading for Med Tech with Roll...

Sorry last I read Gregor fell asleep in Rolls arms and then Roll went to pick up small body parts like arms and eyes.  He was in med at the time I believe.  So possible that is where Haley. It was in the hangar post before yours, Roll going and picking parts up.  So if Roy has him asleep in his arms then where ever he goes, Haley is there.

 keep in mind?  the   Book is  better then the movie... in the Books  Stachel  goes on  into WWII..

The book is almost always better than the movie...*grin*

The book  was ,more like  I would have  had it end?... My brother  told me  about the series?.... Bruno goes  to the US between wars and becomes  an Agent against  the Nazis..he  comes over the  germany in the  3rd book..i don't think i'll read  those..I'm happy with the end of ther 2nd one

Things are starting to get back to normal no more curfews which is nice.

good to here... around here  masks are 'suggested'..more  cars on the road. more places opening up?..we 'll see what the  rate will be like.

 For Zob.., i hope that means no more  riots!

I was fortunate enough to be many miles away from the riot areas here in Utah.  I think Salt Lake had half a week of curfews because of the riots, and some of the stories from friends in the area were a little disconcerting (part of me is STILL freaked out at the concept of being able to say 'Salt Lake riots' with a deadly serious face...not something I ever would have expected in Utah...and I'm one of the people who keeps talking about how much Utah has changed over my lifetime!)

But I'm glad to hear things are settling down.  I know there's a time and a place for violent protest...but it's hard to achieve lasting change while the violence is still active.  I hope it's actually a break in the storm and not just a lull, and that good things follow out of all of this.  I've seen some really great stories, along with all the tales of violence and destruction...stuff like that is what keeps me hoping for the success of humanity.

My pic today shows a  batter  castle on a hillside, with green grass  all around..Doeset England

Oh, that reporter is VERY lucky Roy can't hear what she's asking...

 ::chuckles::   too much   leaning one way or the other... two kinds of reporters..good  guys and bad  guys!

Today has me pretty busy between the really nice weather here, and other things.

I ran a virtual 5k for charity for the first time in over a year this morning and did pretty good (the cardio in p90x really has been doing a lot more for me than I expected).

Also as we got closer I kinda started keeping closer track of our posts vs the Tale of Two game (the only other game I could find with more posts than ours). Well last night, around 10pm EDT we pulled ahead of them.

I know it's not a competition, but it does give me a small measure of pride to be a part of such a vibrant and active community of players with such an exception GM.

I'll try and log in later this evening for some IC posts.

That's great Melia about the virtual race! I am going to start doing the P90X on my off days from Kickboxing.
