-
- I cannot
believe the amount of changes to GolfKon since the
last tournament. The back of the property is
unrecognizeable. I haven't even chronicled the
broadcast booth and technically 4th bar I put up
- AND I'M DOING ANOTHER ONE! But
nothing is as impressive as this trellis. Holy
shit...
-
-
- Man do I love
this trait about me. It's the one thing I can say I'm
absolutely proud of without feeling arrogant: I make
positives out of negatives almost 100% of the time.
It's very difficult, but it's that itching feeling of
not accepting failure. Not wanting to lose. Knowing
there's a way. Get fired? Make choices now where when
you look back? That firing was the best thing that
could've happened. Break your leg? See it as an
opportunity to focus on things that aren't physical
and be in a better position than before the accident.
All of which is a result of having a tremendous
amount of failure and personally devastating losses.
There's some strange saying that you should never
trust anyone with no regrets and it always irked me. I
don't have any because I'm extremely considerate,
thoughtful and make positives out of negatives. Not
because I have no ability to feel remorse. I make
lemonade out of lemons so well my biography should be
called "The Lemonade Life". And this trellis, is
absolutely, The Lemonade Trellis.

- Not sure
I can express the depression I felt at having to
take that tree down earlier this month. It was the
inconvenient truth to building so much around a tree
that has no business even being in this climate to
begin with. It's a disaster waiting to happen and in
fact MASSIVE chunks have fallen multiple times
since I've owned the property. I finally just thought
"Adam, you'll find a creative way around the empty
space - just believe that and pull the trigger..." And
it worked. This thing is incredible. For a little
sense of scale...
-
-
- That's Cameron
down there picking up his ball. It opens up the back
of the property so much it's actually hard to process
in pictures. So thankfully, I'm now THRILLED that
tree had to come down because it forced ALL of
this building. Of all the years to have attempted this
much, I can't believe I pulled it off - but now
it's just clean-up and the final two counters under
the pergola. One week to go until Labor Day!
-
- EXHAUSTED.
