I can no
longer feel my hands. I'm typing by memory.
Ha.
In all
seriousness, as someone who has always known he could
push his body far? I'm exceeding everything I ever
thought possible. Followed tomorrow by two more 6am to
midnight (18 hour days) and one mad-dash 6am to 3pm on
Monday to get ready for a Labor Day deadline
I made for myself. And whhhyyyyyyy did
I make this deadline? Because this goddamn pipe
needs to be covered and finished before I start
on Jimmy's bathroom/kitchen all of which has to happen
BEFORE THE BABY COMES and
HOLY shit we're 5 minutes from September how the
balls can that be and will I ever find the
punctuation to end this sentence... Here:
!$@$%&$#
Whew.
The
video:
Wow I'm really
tired at the end of that. LOL. That was today and of
course I continued all day until now. And now are
you ready for this? (sigh). I'm already defensive. I'm
about to tell you this and can already hear the
giggles. LOL.
So I'm mapping out
the greens before I start cutting and I'm
realizing that with the excess the guy gave me
(seriously, I needed 3x12 feet for one piece and
he rolled out 4 feet 3 inches x 12. Uhm...) I am gonna
be left with a shitload. Enough to make at least
another full hole. But, what the hell do you do with 7
holes? You either do 9 or let it go. With 6 you could
at least play it 3 times for 18. I liked that. But the
next step is 9 and I'm NOT taking up anymore space. So
I sat and looked at the original 3 for probably a
half hour. It feels like that's all I do sometimes:
look. I didn't want to take up anymore space but
I didn't want some cheap hole when suddenly I had
an epiphany. Check out the :50 mark of the first
GolfKon video for what I'm talking
about...
If I raised the
tee box for hole 2 and put a hole underneath it? I
could go BACKWARDS for two holes. Easily. One from the
opening of 3 (which no one ever used to save par,
everyone loves the ramp) and the second by making a
tee box above the current hole where the bridge is.
Voila. 2 more holes, with minimal work and ZERO extra
space. I was making 3 holes on the new deck anyway
(the third being a pyramid - evil hole), so
I just make 2 in that same space. And just like
that, there are 9. And I am done. ;)
LMAO. Defensive
right? It's all problem solving and it's all because
of that foosball table!!! Which I still haven't
fixed so wtf. Ugh. Totally unplayable on the deck
'cause I need some screws for the last couple of
guys. Too busy building min-golf holes. I can't
believe "Making it Six" became a defense for "Making
it Nine." Well, yes I can.
Alright, I have to
get to sleep. 45 hours of work awaits me this Labor
Day weekend. Funny, I did the same thing 10 years
ago, didn't I?
Man, I used
to know every Journey month by instant recollection. I
guess I knew eventually that skill would fade. Heh.
Woah, that's almost exactly 1000 entries ago. Cool.
Alright, JESUS wasn't I going to sleep like
4 sentences ago?
