Do any golf courses around you have a group of older guys doing maintenance or marshalling?

A lot of the RTJ Trail courses in Alabama have older retired men, not necessarily riding mowers all the time, but doing the keep the course pretty work… Filling divots, fixing pitch marks, making sure bunkers are raked, etc. or making sure things are flowing on course.

Good way to make a little extra money and stay active, while not having to deal with too much riff raff.

Doing small deliveries and helping out around a seed and chemical retailer would be good work too.

I'm still so confused about the show's view on faith/christianity. Sometimes they're making fun of it, sometimes it seems like they're trying to push it...in a show that's as far away from Christianity as possible.

I didn’t know what to think about it either. 3 seasons of just disgusting behavior by just about every character and they end it with a former Muslim praying in a Christian household with the American flag blowing in the breeze.

They’d give Elvis a pass, say he understands their struggle…… then they’d be like what the frick when they realize a country singer from Lubbock wrote it.

Jim, your ability to ride for Bryson is remarkable.

My problem with travel ball is that money and time could be dispersed so much better into the small towns that all these teams are coming from.

If that money, time, and effort were to stay local instead of going to the World Series of the month you'd have:

-better rec league competitions and facilities
-more vibrant downtowns. Spend disposable money where you live, not in whatever town has a baseball complex every weekend.
-better country club participation, both from a dining and tennis and golf standpoint, so you have kids that are more well rounded both athletically and socially
-better church attendance and participation. This is a huge problem IMO. You're teaching all of these kids to turn away from religion and to athletics.
-competiton within the town. Business being proud of their rec league sponsorship, kids wanting to play for certain teams. Example: I played for the same rec league team my dad did, and my dad was my coach. That's awesome to me.

ETA: Also hot take incoming: Most of your kids aren’t even playing baseball. They’re pawns in the game of see what coach is most willing to just run the bases incessantly because the kids are going to make enough errors that recklessly running the bases eventually pays off.

Hahahaa. A majority of that team is young black men. The president is actively trying to disenfranchise them. I think it says a lot that they pay attention enough to get upset. How do you not see that? Oh yeah, cause they have different opinions than you…

Do you people ever go outside and walk around for a little bit, breathe a little fresh air, and come up with an original thought?

Beautiful set of horns, but the mount could have used more body IMO. Something just looks off there if I’m being honest

It's a combo of being a Texas deer and the camera angle.

Yes. Daily. Mainly the blacks, sometimes you run across one of those old Elizabeth Warren looking white women.

Weirdest thing about the blacks, I think they're wearing the same shitty cloth one from 2020, so I'm trying to figure out if they're really that dumb or if they're trying to make one of their perplexing fashion statements.

The old whites that wear them are hardcore N95 wearers for the most part.

If I have the ability when that time comes, there's no shot I'll outright buy them a home, or even help out month to month.

I do think helping with the down payment, and kind of steering them away from some mistakes I made would be money better spent.

I was making decisions totally alone with no help whatsoever when I bought my first house, which we still live in. No one in our family ever even looked at it before we closed. It's a fine house. No complaints at all really. But somebody saying hey you've got a 3.5% rate: Spend $50k more on that house 4-6 blocks north with 400 more sq ft... That would have gone a long ways. Now if I wanted that house, I feel like I'd have to make upgrades to our house to sell it for top dollar in order to buy that other house which would now be $100k more...

I think the best way to put it is, help them out on the initial cost of the first home, and you set them up for an easier transition to the second and third homes.

b. The weather was not on the courses side, but yeah they made TPC Craig Ranch their bitch all week.

c. I can appreciate both the insane toughness of those major courses when they’re playing hard, and how good these guys are when you put them on soft courses with no wind.

Oh I wasn’t a volunteer. We had contracts with the school districts shuffling temporary classrooms as the schools were being rebuilt.

I was making good money for a college kid. Grinded for 3 months down there and I could almost make it through the whole school year without asking my parents for money.
