Las Vegas




I had the pleasure of "Baby sitting" along with a few of my friends, Barley. We bonded. I have always wanted to climb Lone Mt. which is near thier house. The attached photos are taken at the top. Next time I will be moving up to a little bigger attempt behind the Red Rock area.

September 7, where did summer go? An update on golf. I was in the finals for 1st flight champion, and lost on the 17th hole. I was doing fine, then missed a chip on 15 and a wide open second shot on 16. It is pretty imtimidating to have all those people watching you and try to hit good shots. I did shoot a 78, and still lost. Oh well try again next year.

It is Saturday morning, and I just returned from watching the PGA Championship at Oakland Hills. As a golfer, what an amazing thing to watch those guys play golf from 3 feet away. They make it look so easy. I bought a new hat, mostly to keep from burning up the top of my head. I wanted to take photos, but they do not allow phones or cameras on the course. For good reason I think. Anyway, after we watched that we drove down to Toledo, spent the night then played Inverness, one of the most famous courses in the world. I shot a 80 on it, and if I could putt, I would have broken 80. What a place. The greens were table top hard and roller coaster in shape. Very hard to putt. All for now. Rod

It is June 25, and finally it feels like summer out. On Memorial day weekend I decided, for some reason to build more deck. Actually, I wanted a deck under the trees for shade. SO, I started it. This is the finsihed product. Not bad

It is April 22, my 62nd birthday is past, and now summer is starting. Golf on Wednesday's, Fridays, Sundays and later on Tuesday's. Not to much. Christie just started her new job. I also got new truck yesterday. Pretty nice. I had some new videos to post, but I will have to do them at another time. Please keep checking, you will enjoy them. VERY entertaining and some are a little political

Well, it is late March, and it is getting close to time to head for Michigan, but first I have to go to Florida to help Emily with her first purchase of a condo, and her BIG 30 birthday. I probably shouldn't say anything, but she got a AARP invite in the mail. How good is that? The stay this winter has been VERY good, and I know now that both of my daughters are smarter than me, they left the north behind a long time ago. I have not missed the snow at all.

I thought I would post a photo of the house we are staying in down at Hilton Head Island. It is a very nice 3 bedroom , and conviently located resonably close to everything, including the beachs. We are about 45 minutes from Savannnah, and a little over one hour to Charleston
