Glad you had a great time in ID. That’s fantastic hitting the floating green and putting another so close to the cup. My son just got a new set of wedges and is doing some amazing short shots like that.
I took our dog for a walk that Thursday and saw the tent set up for the awards ceremonies. I was thinking you were in there. Looks like you hit some spectacular weather, too! And so far this summer we’ve had NO forest fire smoke.
Some friends invited us to dinner on the back side of the lake a couple nights ago and we went over on another friend’s pontoon / patio boat in the late afternoon. Had a delightful dinner on their patio over the lake, then slowly cruised back to their dock close to HLCC around 10 pm under the clear summer sky. That was wonderful.
Prices have gone insane around here and the Rathdrum Prairie continues to get plowed under for houses. It is so sad for everybody around here. My roots here go back to 1927 when Mom was born up the road and then my grandparents retired here in 1966. If we hadn’t bought when we did (four years ago), we wouldn’t be here.
I remember those whirlwind business trips and nonstop dinners. Retirement is a bit weird in that regard...you miss those days, but don’t miss them THAT much.
“whirlwind business trips and nonstop dinners”
Yes, I needed a vacation after my trip just to rest.
I went from NH-Boston/Logan to Id Falls. Drove to Boise. Flew
to Spokane/Cd’A. Saw five customers. Toured the IFG Chilco & Athol mills. Attended the convention in Cd’A. Flew back from Spokane to Boston via Denver. Three hotels. Two rental cars. All in one week.
The weather was perfect. Not too hot and no smoke.
I was a little anxious about the five airline flights, but they all arrived perfectly on time. On the first three I actually had an empty seat next to mine.
Rental cars are very expensive now. Each car was over $700. The first was because I picked it up in Idaho Falls and dropped it in Boise. The second one was in Spokane. I picked it up on Tuesday and returned it on Saturday. It did get a nice upgrade in Spokane though. They had me down for a Toyota Camary. They gave me a Candy Apple Red Dodge Challenger.
