tl;dr Bourbon. It’s what’s for dinner.

Yesterday my wife had hernia surgery. Sandwiched around that, my dad went to the ER for a kidney stone that he couldn’t pass. He ends up having (unsuccessful) surgery. They couldn’t get it out, but placed a stent around it and it will take 2 more surgeries to complete that process. Oh, and he’s supposed to have back surgery to fix some issue that has been causing him debilitating pain when he tries to walk for about 6 months (this guy has had 2 major one heart surgeries to boot).

Get my wife home and settled, then have to go  out again and  help my 16 year old get the other car started (think it is just a dirty battery terminal - maybe). While I am there, my sister texts that she is on the way to the ER with my nephew, who busted his chin at his HS football game. 

Think we just paid for a new break room at that place.

#### yesterday. Today I get to go to a bottling party for a new release bourbon that I signed myself, my dad, and my father-in-law up for as a Father’s Day gift 4 years ago when the distillery launched. Dad swears he is going, and my FIL is on oxygen 24/7 for COPD. Should probably reserve a suite in the ER now.

I probably shouldn't have half a dozen drinks in two hours any more. I don't recover like I used to. But, those weights are not going to lift themselves. :flex:

If they can't make it, smuggle that booze in to them

Yeah, I'm not a country club kinda guy. It was a mistake to join, I still hate golf and not having any black people around it kind of creeepy. But they are introducing Pickle ball next week and maybe I'm not too old for that...according to the bar cop, I'm an old man that needs to sit down and shut up.

You'd probably be one of the last people I'd expect to be a country club member, based on your message board identity at least. I'm sure you had reasons though, being a reasonable guy.

My golf experience is limited to Putt-putt and driving ranges, though I've played just about every other sport regularly. Golf always struck me as boring and an old man's activity (I know that's not true though).

The bolded is absolutely true.

Why let 18 holes of bull#### get in the way of a couple of hours of drinking?  Just go drink.

It was stupid. Thought my back could handle golfing and I needed some movement in my life. Also thought the wife and I would use the gym. Plus its the only food/booze within a mile of my house. Stupid is as stupid does. At least I didn't pay any initiation fees

 
There isn't much that's more satisfying than a perfectly-struck golf ball. There isn't much that's harder to do than perfectly strike a golf ball.

The Senior Tour was invented, more or less, on that course. For whatever that's worth.

Have had a couple of those perfectly hit moments recently. Holed out with a 60 degree wedge from about 70 yards for eagle the other weekend. Also put a 8 iron out of a fairway trap about 2 feet from 145ish when I was up in Door Co, Wi last month.

Have you read Dead Solid Perfect? 

Probably the best sports book I ever read, except for North Dallas FOrty

Was never a golfer growing up, but married into a golfing family so picked it up. After years of frustration, I’ve gotten to the point that I do love game. Mostly due to the time I’ve spent playing it with my FiL and BIL. I still suck at it enough to make those moments special and the fact that they saw both of them happen only helped that.

Yeah I had one of those perfect hits once 40 years ago playing with a rich girlfriend at her country club. Over 350 yards onto the green. I was high as #### on coke, tho.

Cambria Estate Wines is also a petty winery that needed to Cease and Desist my brewery, then it was known as the Cambria Beer Company, since they own the trademark Cambria.  Their argument was it would cause customer confusion.  Screw them and Kendall Jackson....!

Well that sucks.

I walked by your joint about a month ago but you weren’t open yet. ?

No i did not, it is the 927 Beer Company.  927 was the only phone number prefix in town when my wife was growning up.  Everyone just said the last 4 digits when asked their phone number.  We did call our saison release at that time Cease and D'Saison

How do the other businesses there with “Cambria” in their name get away with it?
