A lot of pro disc golfers have vans they travel and live out of during the season (March - early Oct). Play a three-four day tournament, then travel to the next stop. They get a couple days of practice before the event starts.

Starts in Florida (second stop is New Orleans) and they make their way across the country. Around 24 stops with some smaller events in between. You have to play pretty well to make it (some do, most don’t) and have some sponsorship. Some of the top pros will Airbnb their house during the season.

Served on a jury last February in federal court. Felon in possession of a firearm. Ended up in a mistrial.

Got another summons about five months later. Here (Mobile, AL) you don’t have to serve if you’ve been selected the previous two years. Filled out the summons and let them know I just served. January of this year, I got another one and informed them that was three in less than a year (all federal court). Got an email from them about two months ago saying I wasn’t in the pool for selection. Not sure why I got that email. Seems that they can hardly wait for my two years to be up, so I can serve again.

Got selected for district court jury about a year before serving on the federal side. They put us into groups on Monday and sent us home. Had to check the next several days, but never got called in and they released our group.

Only other time I served in jury duty was about thirty years prior. Doctor knocked up his much younger patient and a twelve man jury took about twenty minutes to come to the conclusion (with DNA evidence) that he was the father. There were a couple of twists and turns in the case, like the young lady was also sleeping with the doctor’s son.

Looks like I did what a number of others have done. Bought some on the way up and also on the way down. Got my average down to just under $3.20 with several more purchases this year.

As a recent cord cutter, it’s one of the main channels I watch. MASH, Andy Griffith, Hogan’s Heroes, Carol Burnett and a few others are on in the evening. If you’re a night owl, Twilight Zone, Perry Mason and Alfred Hitchcock come on after 10:00 central

A good friend of mine makes over $200,000.00 a year playing disc golf. The top few make a million plus just on their top sponsor.

Got the Chargers and I’m kinda worried. Let’s see what happens.

Sneaked out of that one and live to fight another day.

Used:
Jags
Dolphins
Seahawks
49ers
Lions
and going with the Bills this week

Chad? Thanks brother, it means a lot. When I talk about Louisiana disc golfers being such good people, we have one right here. This man brought the biggest iron pot (full of pastaIlaya) I’ve ever seen to our tournament.

Michael Munn and his staff does an absolute fantastic job with the Big Rip. If you want the feel of a big time tournament down here, that’s the one. If you want a cabin, you better be quick.

We know Sylus and his father well in Mobile. Has a ton of talent and so young. Look forward to watching him along the way.

Matt should be back later this month. I’ll have to ask if he knows about the rant.

Yeah he’s talking about the big rip. Would’ve been there, but my nephew got married last Saturday.

I’ve been running tournaments in Mobile for 19 years. We always have a big group of players from Louisiana (New Orleans, Baton Rouge, Lafayette, etc) come for our Southside Smackdown. Always get them to bring some boudin. Such good people. Matt Orum from Mobile is 11 time champ.

Yeah, that’s why I said shite was different back then. FYI I can count too.
