Practiced as family dr for 19 yr, went back at 47 to train in another specialty, now 69 and retiring.
Of course made good money as a doc but could have made tons more in different specialty and/ or private practice but always made decisions with family and time ahead of money and do not regret. Have seen numerous train wrecks along the way of those who chose the other path. Only One Person I have to please and He will not judge me on basis of my income/ net worth

Carnoustie is a must. Panmure is literally right next door- is where Ben Hogan practiced the week before he won the only Open he played at Carnoustie. Brora up the coast is a neat little James Braid course from 1800's, if u can't get on at Dornoch. East Lothian area is full of fun courses. Lunden is another good one. I was hoping to do the NC 500 this fall but airfare due to fuel prices is scary. A Golf Course Called Scotland by Tom Coyne is a must read for golfers found to Scotland.

Nasty. But maybe I haven't had "good" ones. I'm open
Don't forget to get inspection when u get the car. I was used to having the dealer have it done if bought in La and just forgot about it when I bought in TX and Shreveport cop nailed me for no inspection sticker
La. native but lived in Utah about 30 yr before moving back. Never thought I'd like the desert, but fell in love with it- at the right time of the year!. Agree 100% withcgrand, and others on here.
DONT MISS Hwy12. Great short, mostly flat hike off Hwy 12 to Lower Calf Creek Falls.
You can look these up, but Notom Rd on back side of Capitol Reef is a cool road, some Indian ruins along the way. Don't miss the Fiery Furnace hike in Arches. Another less crowded area is the San Rafael Swell.
I make at least one trip a year back out there.
Also Anasazi Indian State Park in Boulder is neat- last i was there, there was a very informative native lady at the desk inside

Checking flights for two to UK this fall (for golf, avoiding cities where possible). Prices seemed way higher than 6 mo ago- Google says average 40% increase since Iranian conflict

Runner up is Lake D'Arbonne Country Club in Farmerville.
I've actually played D'Arbonne a few times since I moved to Ruston (one of the few options in the area if Squire Creek is not for whatever reason) and if D'Arbonne is in your 2nd place, you are either very fortunate or haven't played around much

"Casting dispersions"-- heard on Finebaum (no kidding!)
My Utmost for His Highest by Oswald Chambers is an old standby. But I would recommend highly Thoughts from the Diary of a Desperate Man (daily) by Walt Henrichsen, available at leadershipfoundation. Org and mimworldwide.com. His 2 others, Warnings for a People Not Listening to God (daily) and Seeking to Understand the Christian Life (weekly) are also exceptional
None of these are strictly for men

Salt water pool maintenance
Posted by gungho on 2/2/26 at 3:38 pm
Anyone compare self- testing water and chemical purchase from walmart/big box stores with testing at pool specialty stores and purchase their chemicals, i.e. any significant difference in quality between the two approaches?
re: Hip replacement
Posted by gungho on 1/31/26 at 3:32 am to St Augustine
Thanks for the replies. Yes, I've heard/ read anterior approach best. Surgeon is about the most popular for THA in the town and seems to have excellent outcomes (as voiced by PT's). Falling apart since retirement- in last year, right thumb suspensionplasty and right wrist SLAC (ligament tear), and now this- hard on the golf game.
Hip replacement
Posted by gungho on 1/30/26 at 10:37 am
I'm 69, very active: run, golf walking and carrying clubs, backpack, hike. Now with unilateral hip pain, running very limited, very limited on internal rotation(golf backswing). Will get diagnosis in a week or so, pretty sure it's osteoarthritis. Anyone have hip replacement, what convinced you, and your outcome as far as post- recovery activities?
Weather Map Interpretation
Posted by gungho on 1/21/26 at 12:54 pm
Can anyone provide suggestions on how to interpret the colorful and technical weather maps people post when severe weather is predicted, including the letter/number designations? Any websites? AI helpful? Thanks

SIAP, but how does one learn how to interpret/make use of all the colorful weather maps on these threads and what all the letter/number designations mean? Thanks

Backflow preventers on home irrigation systems
Posted by gungho on 12/27/25 at 4:56 am
Is it state law that backflow preventer valves on home systems be tested and certified annually? How is this enforced and how much does it cost in your area? Had one in Shreveport and never heard of this until I recently moved to Lincoln parish

Yes, your 2nd paragraph is pretty much what we were told. There wasn't really any major temp fluctuations, less than if we had been home, Thermostats were at narrow range. Guess it was just it's time. What a mess, though
