You really didn't have to change your email address.

++++++++++++++++++++

Tiger's recent display at the Masters just reassures me that I have
been
right about him all these years. The reason I have continued to hammer
him
is because he never did rectify his behavior - not even for a month.
It has
nothing to do with race. I'd feel exactly the same if he looked like
one of
Nicklaus' sons.

I happen to work for a black woman at ********* and get along great
with her. For right at a year.
Maybe the best project leader I have ever had. If I was what you say I
am,
would I have ever allowed myself to get along like that? A woman to
boot?
But, no use trying to convince you now that you are dead set against
me.

I will always post a reply when I see something with which I disagree.
You
can ignore me like I do Baker. I don't think you will be able to do
that.

I am sorry that you have assumed this posture. I believe that I do not
deserve it.

This will be the last email you get from me, as you requested. In
spite of
all this, I wish you good health and fortune in your golden years.

Regards
Ken

Nice to know that there are some things constant in this world. This

Hi David!

I'm doing fine...getting older than dirt but it beats the alternative.
I haven't played much golf in the last six years but I'm really
getting the itch to get back out there. How about you? Still in NOLA?

They had a tornado hit yesterday morning. I played Sunday afternoon on

a couple of good knock-down 6 irons.

Hi Dave!

I haven't been playing much myself, maybe as much as 3-4 times a year
and some years not at all. I did play last weekend though and shot a
whopping 103. And that was with a cooperating driver. Clearly some
horrible palsy has crept into the short game.

But it was still fun. Seeing old friends was fun. The beer and chicken
wings after were fun. I want to do it all again.

RE: your cooperating driver. Ditto for me...I hit eight fairways but
then somewhere along the line I would chunk one, or hit a bad chip. So
I was actually encouraged. I'm heading to Thailand in July so I'm
trying to get my game on some kind of shape before then.

A week ago I played in a very strong wind. I did have a good hole,
on a very tough par-4 (which I hardly *ever* reach in 2), I had a good
drive in a lull to 150 yards out. Then the wind hit, and I took out
a 5 iron and hit under the wind, and it rolled onto the green. Then
I had a long putt, and adjusted my aim 4' windward and got a very rare
birdie.

Beating the wind is extraordinarily rare for me.

I remember being on a course in Edmonton in some very strong winds. I
was playing as a single and on a downwind hole, hit my 3 iron about 250
yards to put it into a pond I didn't think I had the slightest chance of
reaching.

And more recently at RSGNW 2011, I hit driver on number 7 (IIRC) at
Palouse Ridge from the blue tees to about 50 yards from the centre of
the green. Downwind and downhill on a hard fairway, I think it was
probably the biggest driver of my life at about 370 yards (seriously,
the ball just ran and ran!). So I put down the obligatory dollar bill...

...only to have dugjustdug outdrive me to pick it up.

I hope this means you're coming back to RSG. It can use more golf
content.

>How about you? Still in NOLA?

Sure am but I only play golf about once a month. I've lost interest
and even when I'm on the course I don't feel like being out there.

>Got your Golfing Machine PHD?

No, not yet. Even though I'm still authorized I don't use it all that
much. I just take the club back and then turn my hips. That's about
as technical as my swing is these days.

Totally! Fun toy. I did some cool mods on mine, ideas I got from here:
http://tvwbb.com/eve/forums/a/frm/f/8680069052. I fashioned some eyelets
from lamp repair parts; installed handles from Genie garage door
handles; wedged a 14" clay pot base into the top of the water bowl (no
water and no mess to clean up); did the 3-in-1 grate mod. All these mods
are dirt cheap and involve nothing more than a trip to Home Depot.

I've done ribs a fair bit, pulled pork, brisket. The brisket is still a
work in progress. Chicken, steaks, chops, I generally do on the kettle.
It is a rare weekend when one of these two doesn't get fired up.

If it cooks meat or goes fast there are guys modding it.

There's a yearly BBQ competition down the road from where I work, and
you would not believe how much people spend on their rigs. Between the
motorhomes and color coordinated bbqs and all the rest of it I wouldn't
be surprised if many of them have well over 100k invested.

Bobby doesn't despise me, Greg. He's said so recently. He doesn't like
my arguing style, so he doesn't want to read my posts.

And I don't recall Frank ever saying he despised me either...

That's fair. Perhaps DL should clarify that he's never seen anyone
who is plonked as much as UA. I don't recall anyone since the days of

Of course, the troll will nit-pick that reality too....and still claim

I have the Maverick ET732 and was looking for a eyelet mod, but was
hoping not to have to drill into her. The Cajun Bandit eyelets wont fit
the 732 probes. Does your cover still fit on it with the handles?

I ditched the water as well, just foil over the water pan now.

Love the virtual bullet site, on there all the time, as well as bbq
brethern.

Same here, practice, practice, practice. Thanks to craigslist, I have
quite the kettle army now (4). And a new(to me) stick burner I'm
refurbing right now.

Alan Baker claims when people plonk Larry it's because of his

their character.

It fits fine. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zcu8NnI--Vs

I was also a bit concerned about drilling into the kettle. It was a
non-event though. A tap with a center punch and some masking tape in
case the bit wandered, some steady pressure, and that was it.

I do that but the problem is at the top, before the hips rotate, I
make a little move with my right hand, steepening the shaft and coming
a little OTT. Not as bad as I once did but it's still there.

I can repost my swing if you are interested in seeing it. Make sure
you have an empty stomach. :)

There's a Lowe's closer to my house so I tried them first. They didn't
have any of the lamp repair parts or the Genie replacement handles.

My local ACE hardware store is like a museum. If I need it they have it. If
I don't need it they have it.

Bret -

I had a good relationship with Bobby for a number of years, as I did
with Chris Bellomy. Chris was the first person I met as a result of my
involvement with the Internet. It was 1996 and we rode together to my
first RSG event. The wind was blowing like crazy and I shot the best
80 you can imagine to win going away. Now, they both have thrown me
under the bus and I really don't know why.

You can call it "whiny" or whatever you want. I happen to care when
people I consider to be friends decide that I am no longer worthy.

You have me wrong once again. But then, you always did except in this
one post.

Ok. I have a HD close by as well. They are also selling bags of splits,
hickory, pecan, cherry for about $12.

Ken, my friend ......

Let's say you are correct and these two men have "thrown you under the
bus" for no good reason.
So what? Get the fuck over it! It's all just online bullshit
anyway ..... names on a screen.

I've had people I've met online and played golf with and enjoyed their
company who now say all kinds of bad things about me. Who cares?
Life is too short to worry about stuff like that. The only thing you
should worry about in this world is your next tee shot.
