Good morning, everyone. Happy Friday!
We have moderate temps now, foreguessed to get up into the mid-70s today. We’re supposed to get rain later that will start the real drop in temps.
Yesterday when Mrs. ArGee checked on her parents her dad had a wicked scrape on his forearm. It looked like maybe he had caught it in a closing door or something. “How did you get that?” “I don’t know.” But he’s fine to take pleasure drives down the interstate. Sheesh.
So much for my high-scoring ways in Wordle. Another bomb today.

Good Friday Morning!
Whatever system brought us that rain, also ushered in some cooler temps... mid 60s this morning to start the day!
Yet another week, and 7 holes of golf, that have just raced by...
For this straight away Par 4 17th Hole, I didn’t want to press my luck with that water hazard... A measured drive from the tee left me in good position on the fairway to the left of those two traps... my prospects for getting on in two looked good!
But not so this morning... no... my second shot got hung up in the wind and dropped me into that deceptively deep trap to the near left side of the green... fortunately I made it out on the next shot... OK, on in three... still a chance...
But I could not get a good read on that wildly breaking green and ended up two-putting for a Bogey...

(In the golf analog, this Bogey on the 17th hole puts me at one under (65) for the round... ⛳️)
Good morning!
Oh dear, about your F-i-L. Maybe he’ll know in a week or two how he got the scrape. That’s worrisome.
The gal who likes to take me to doctor’s appointments and other places had to place her dad in assisted living, the section with the locked doors. She was telling me of his slow regression and it was heart-breaking. He’s here in town, in a new, VERY nice facility, and she visits with him, but it costs a lot. She said when they sold his property, it left him with enough to live there until he was 125. I don’t think, from what she was saying, that he even knows where he is.
She’s such a sweet person, and although there were nine kids, she’s the one who takes him for any medical appointments he has. He certainly doesn’t know who she is, unless she prefaces every sentence with “Dad.” But he’s 90, so his has been going on a long time.
Oh, crikey!
Good job on the Wordle!! That must mean that I’m going to X/6 today! ;o]
O what a beautiful mornin’...!
Facing down this relatively short par 4 — a mere 337yd — with a light rain on my head, and a persistent breeze just about right in my face, crossing slightly right-to-left, I mulled taking out the big wood and “going for broke.”

Instead I throttled back to make a conservative drive that came down well ahead of the green, bit hard and dribbled to a stop in the fairway just between the two foremost traps. The lie put the wind directly in my face as I addressed the ball with a 7 iron looking to make the green. I got well into it, and my aim was true as I lofted the ball directly at the pin. The shot came down with a single bounce about 5ft distant, rolled the remainder to strike the pin straight-on, and dropped into the cup for an Eagle!
HuzZAHH!
All smiles as I cash in a middling tee shot for a 2-stroke gain, and advance to the 17th at 4 under par with a 58.
