meant well plus eye dr stuff

meant well when i said i would keep up with this better, but my time has been overtaken by events as we used to say- working backwards- the crew didn't show up today and it would have been nice to have known they weren't coming as i cut my run short to be home in time for them to arrive. still, i had a nice 8 mile run with about 6-8 hills thrown in. all run today and that was nice also. a.m. heart rate was 44. as yesterday was a really easy 3 miles i expected the rate to be down a bit.

so following a good run and some laundry i headed off to the eye dr as they were concerned i may have had a glaucoma problem. turns out it is cataracts instead. some more surgery to follow at some point when they are "ripe". the left eye was really bad as i knew it would be. i could read the chart with the right eye, but it may as well have been twenty miles away with the left eye- no use in guessing is what i told them. maybe this is why i have been missing all of my putts to the right. ha-ha...

did get some practice in later in the day; a short session with a little of everything and some drills. went ok and i can see progress. do like the 64 degree wedge, though i wish i knew where the first one disappeared to.

almost no yard work today other than a little watering. the new stuff looks ok and the plant i moved is making a comeback. time will tell-

yesterday was a slow and easy three miles followed by 9 holes at jefferson with frank and dan. dan had two eagles and that was pretty good and fun to watch. i had one birdie and one bogie and shot even par for the 9 holes. it was a good day for me though i have to work on re-finding my putting( mostly due to the grip i cannot get comfortable with, but i practiced a bunch today and will step it up even more).

after golf yesterday i ran several errands and spent a lot of time stuck in traffic and then did some gardening and some more golf practice. did takeout for dinner and got gail some for after school and bingo, another day done.

this is all so boring i am sure, and i do leave out lots of stuff related to the house repair at least. lots to do over the weekend and may also catch some ryder cup.

time to get going now. so many emails behind but i will catch up. am way too secluded right now and spending more time with strangers than friends and family. on-line shopping has been a great help for sure.

up early to run. no racing and no time for it, but will get going and putting things in place to make it happen. did re-join PGRC and that could be good. will be interesting to be a member again of a club i started some almost twenty years ago.

more soon......
