Why it makes me happy - as I work at my computer everyday, I am multi-tasking...managing investments, doing my officer work on numerous volunteer websites, making tee times, organizing other things, helping people with their events, doing research....etc. It's great when I get a Facebook notification for a little humorous break and can interact with my friends. All without worrying that I am stealing time from an employer. I love my life!

HappyUP!!! - getting my Competent Leader designation

Why it happened - Toastmasters

Why it makes me happy - I'm not big into badges. Quite frankly, I think they can be a little silly. But, the game is the game and I have never had a problem picking up designations. My club benefitted from my efforts today.

Why it happened - I found the receipt (see yesterday)

Why it makes me happy - they had the product I bought in stock. Even throught the manufacturer had never heard of the problem I was having, I was more than happy to give it another shot......and the exchange was quick. Thumbs up to Loews.

HappyUP!!! - handling a driving issue

Why it happened - I am guessing the heat

Why it makes me happy - experience saved the day. A less skilled/mature driver would have panicked.....possibly bump into someone...I almost did. I used coasting and the emergency brake to get to safety.....do a restart/reboot of the truck's system....no issues. Yeah...I have to monitor this but, if it recurs, I will know what to do.

I discovered the defect on Sunday....called the manufacturer yesterday....was told I needed proof of purchase. Unfortunately, I had made the purchase a month ago and was just now putting the equipment in use....receipt LONG GONE

..........or so I thought - I was grinning ear to ear when I was going through some paperwork and came upon that financial record today!

HappyUP!!! - a finding

Why it happened - an appointment

Why it makes me happy - nothing worse than going somewhere when you have a problem and having a "failure to repeat." While the problem wasn't totally flushed out today, their was an indicator....and something to look into further. Thank You!!! Our family will get to the bottom of this.

HappyUP!!! - hot weather

Why it happened - it's weather

Why it makes me happy - OK....technically, I really don't like days over 100. BUT....my tomatoes do! We're not going to get a lot of them this year per The Ol Nutter Almanac...so it's good to knock out two of them right away.

HappyUP!!! - playing with the assistant

Why it happened - he needed a game

Why it makes me happy - I used to play against this guy in high school. We probably haven't teed it up together in over 30 years. It's a cool thing to be reunited with an old friend.

HappyUP!!! Day 1593

HappyUP!!! - winning the horserace

Why it happened - some clutch shots

Why it makes me happy - the horserace is a tournament within the tournament. It's a gradual elimination after you are paired with the guest of another member. If you get down to the finals, it's four teams playing the last hole for all the marbles.....with every other contestant circling the final green as a gallery watching you come in. Pressure?....uh....yeah!

HappyUP!!! - wedge into 18 on the horserace

Why it happened - I have a few skills

Why it makes me happy - with about 90 yds in....and all those carts behind the green...it would have been pretty easy to hit one a little "thin" and send it into someone's windshield. Nope....I decided to hit a perfect "spinner" to within 10 feet of the hole. I got a LOT of attaboys on that one!

HappyUP!!! - chipoff

Why it happened - horserace

Why it makes me happy - we were tied with one other team so we had to "chip it off" with everyone watching. The other team went first. My partner then got up and hit his a little fat and didn't quite get on the green. It all got down to me.......and I knocked it well inside the other team. (Insert Queen music here-----"We Are the Champions, My Friends"). Great fun and I have a new Canadian friend, my GREAT partner in this endeavor.

HappyUP!!! - magical evening

Why it happened - I planned it

Why it makes me happy - I skipped out of the Friday night Invitational shenanigans and went out for a night of fantastic music under the stars. The weather was perfect...the ride home was awesome......just a great evening that capped off a great day. Yeah....this was a particularly good day to be me. I pinch myself!

HappyUP!!! - birdie on 15

Why it happened - I made a putt

Why it happened - wisdom?

Why it makes me happy - it had been raining most of the day. The sun came out so I decided to go slap some balls around the driving range. After smacking a few spuds, I looked around and saw that nobody was playing the front 9. I checked doppler in the pro shop and any storms looked like they would be to the north of us. I got in the middle of the third fairway.....took a look in the distance...and said, "I think Mr Doppler missed the call on this one." I hiked in, got in the car, drove home, and then the bucket brigade started flowing....with hail. Lucky, warm, dry and happy!

HappyUP!!! - meeting "Tank"

Why it happened - Toastmasters

Why it makes me happy - I am not a celebrity worshipper. One might question LaSalle Thompson's claim to being a celebrity. It's been awhile since he played roundball. It wasn't about that. It was about his infectious smile and enthusiasm in shaking my hand when we met. Ebullient is the word that comes to mind

HappyUP!!! - medical update

Why it happened - my pal knew I was concerned

Why it makes me happy - it would have been easy to keep me out of the loop. I'm very grateful to KNOW what is going on with my friend
