HappyUP!!! Day 4390

HappyUP!!! - the three speeches

Why it happened - did some rearranging

Why it makes me happy - this was a great thing! D killed it with the icebreaker. R gave the best speech he has given. L did a super job on a timely topic from a first hand perspective (the fires). Just awesome stuff today

HappyUP!!! - tossing a 33 down on the back 9

Why it happened - just really good play there

Why it makes me happy -the 39 on the front was a little ho hum. Largo birdie on 10...some nice, solid play that gave me pars through 15....and then the wake up call. Another largo birdie on 16...now 2 under with two to go. THAT gets my attention. A sandie save on 17 and another LARGO birdie on 18 and it's 33. I'm not sure but I think that ties with my best 9 holes at my home course since I joined. Four LARGO birdies....no lucky stuff or long putts. Sweeet day....and a big win.

HappyUP!!! - Home Depot run

Why it happened - just said "screw it and do it"

Why it makes me happy - it's easy to stay inside when we are hitting 100 degrees...but I said, "lets get some things done before golf and after Toastmasters." What do you know....I get some needed home equipment and a clean truck!

HappyUP!!! - Circle of Fifths

Why it happened -I was YouTubing

HappyUP!!! - thumbing it

Why it happened - I'm still exploring

Why it makes me happy -I try to do a little thumb work every day. I'm not TOTALLY committed but I am getting closer and closer. Some cool sounds are starting to emerge....even though I am nowhere near fluent in thumb

HappyUP!!! - my partner

Why it happened - he put on a clinic

Why it makes me happy - ML tossed a 70...yeah...a 70 ....2 under par on them today. THAT is a net 66! I shot a 78 with 3 doubles (which my errors were contained to three holes) and it added up to a large victory

HappyUP!!! - the group

Why it happened -it was a Sunday thing and TC dropped

Why it makes me happy - my bro...DD...ML....and Goodie. It is hard to get better than that

HappyUP!!! - TraderJoes

Why it happened - I realized I needed some things

Why it makes me happy- I left my house, did my shopping, and was back at my house....all in about 10-12 minutes. I am so grateful for the location of my house in many ways and this is just one of them!

HappyUP!!! Day 4387

HappyUP!!! - front landscaping

Why it happened - I got a surprise

Why it makes me happy -it's something I have been meaning to get around to......but I came home to it! Suuhhhhhweeeeet! It's something that is definitely best done by someone else but I was hardly expecting this.

HappyUP!!! - Portia

Why it happened - I came home

Why it makes me happy -yeah...she was a little ticked that I was gone.....but she got over it. Missed my little Portia-pine!

HappyUP!!! - great drive back

Why it happened - who knows

Why it makes me happy - there actually was a surprising amount of traffic for the time we left. Despite that, everything moved along with no issues. We had some good podcasts and music. The time flew by. Wonderful to be back home!

Why it makes me happy -man, something good needed to happen on this trip. "Bringing it home" left a nice taste in my mouth. Looking forward to getting back on the links

HappyUP!!! - quick warmup

Why it happened - somehow we ran late

Why it makes me happy - rather than worrying about getting loose, I had to "think loose," and get right to business. Helped me find a little sumptin sump tin

HappyUP!!! - a whale breach

Why it happened -I guess they do that

Why it makes me happy - I just happened to be looking off the balcony....didn't think it was whale season...yet...there it was...that tail that everyone recognizes! It was a nice nightcap

HappyUP!!! - Labi Siffre

Why it happened - Spotify

Why it makes me happy-where the heck have I been regarding this guy? He's only been around since 1972. Eccentric? Yes!  Talented? Tremendous!!! I love making new finds.

HappyUP!!! Day 4385

HappyUP!!! - short game

Why it happened -I needed it

Why it makes me happy - those lies at Poppy Hills were tight! Those sand traps were plentiful. When you are hitting it like a dog, you find all of those around the greens. Glad I had some skills to keep things where they were

HappyUP!!! - NCGA Officials

Why it happened - we were at Zone Qualifying

Why it makes me happy - we got a little "bump" from one official....and justified. Another one gave me a poison oak warning...and I am glad he did. 3 holes later my ball was sitting in it and I would not have known.  Rain pants got tossed on over the shorts and a REAL disaster was averted!!

HappyUP!!! - the last hole

Why it happened - eventually you get there

Why it makes me happy - tough day out there today.....but....played the last hole about as well as you could. There was no layup in this kid!...and I got rewarded. Momentum for tomorrow!!!

Why it happened - we were on the road

Why it makes me happy - this is a little bit of a bucket list item for me. This course has been around forever. Nice track

HappyUP!!! - two birdies

Why it happened - nice shots

Why it makes me happy - I'm not known to make a lot of birdies....let alone on a foreign course...and on par 4's where they are tougher to get.  Great harbinger for the next two days?

<-----that b="" gorgeous="" hole="" is="" one="" opening="">

HappyUP!!! - The Beach House

Why it happened -a downed companion

Why it makes me happy - nobody likes the hospital but we had a nice visit today

HappyUP!!! - tomato drop

Why it happened -I had a request

Why it makes me happy -LOVE to share the abundance....it's why I grow the dang things

HappyUP!!! - a new read

Why it happened -I am back on that habit

Why it makes me happy -I kind of got lost in it this morning. It has been a long time since that has happened outside of bedtime reading.  It's an old habit that I am working back toward.

HappyUP!!! Day 4381

HappyUP!!! - DD

Why it happened -he joined the group

Why it makes me happy -LOVE playing with this guy. We had a nice battle today

HappyUP!!! - a best round ever

Why it happened -one of my companions had it going on

Why it makes me happy -it cost me some moolah today. I will gladly pay to watch a guy go through what it takes to hold it together when they are in unexplored territory. You just KNOW they are grinding inside

HappyUP!!! - party

Why it happened - out of town visitors

Why it makes me happy -dinosaur steaks on the grill, seeing some peeps I had missed for awhile...just great family time

HappyUP!!! - Tiger Woods

Why it happened -he's back

Why it makes me happy-it was exciting for one hole.....right there on top of the leaderboard. He still thought he was "El Tigre'".  It may have caused his undoing but it was a great attitude to have!

HappyUP!!! Day 4380

HappyUP!!! - new scorecard

Why it happened -I did a little work

Why it makes me happy -what a nice little document....easy to use....a few tweeks to make...now, like any product, it gets refined and even better

HappyUP!!! - setting the club

Why it happened -I was paying attention

Why it makes me happy - ball striking had fallen off from last month. I went to some notes. It was time to nip this in the bud. It made my turn better and led to me "munching" some iron shots...something that had been missing

HappyUP!!! - The Open

Why it happened -it's an annual thing

Why it makes me happy -the Tiger is right there! This is the greatest thing for the game of golf. He is only the sports figure that creates the most attention worldwide

HappyUP!!! Day 4379

HappyUP!!! - chip in on 8

Why it happened - skillz

Why it makes me happy - it was a basic chip shot...and it was struck perfectly...with perfect speed...it was in as soon as it landed on the green

HappyUP!!! - Matt M

Why it happened - he needed a game

Why it makes me happy -always nice to meet an affable fellow. It seems like he had a good time as we made him feel at home

HappyUP!!! - scorecard template

Why it happened -I was watching The Open

Why it makes me happy -I multi-tasked and put together a nice little document that I can use for years to come.....and solve the issue of....."...you're an 8?....9?" ...from occurring in the first fairway.

HappyUP!!! - withholding

Why it happened -I have restraint

Why it makes me happy- I am not on Facebook much at all. I visited today. A liberal gal had a picture of a whale from a trip they are on and she went, "I could just give it a hug..." or something like that. Others tagged on. My first thought was, "I wonder how many sushi rolls you could make out of that?".....but I didn't say it!!!!

HappyUP!!! Day 4378

HappyUP!!! - sending off a written piece

Why it happened - I had some info 

Why it makes me happy -I think this will really help my friend with his project

Why it happened - I sent it out

Why it makes me happy - new member!!! New people to help!!!

HappyUP!!! - done before the melt

Why it happened -planned it that way

Why it makes me happy -today was bruuuuuutaaaaal.....so glad we got done before it was oppressive

HappyUP!!! - love of the game

Why it happened - I was late

Why it makes me happy - I just wasn't "feeling it" today....I think it was the heat. It was nice to just play without concern about a game going on

HappyUP!!! - meeting with a constituent

Why it happened -I was asked for help

Why it makes me happy - this is an area I have skills in....but have not as freely shared and offered as I could. The meeting went well.  It will be interesting to see where the project goes

HappyUP!!! Day 4376

WOW!!! - this was a really good day.....I didn't even get to LP helping me out and giving me a ream of paper.....scheduling a GREAT appointment with M. R........some GREAT thought/writing/prep time ....broccoli rice dish I threw together....the reception my new wireless got at club....KR stepping up at the club in the most needed of ways.....J.R. knocking it out of the park with TT's.  It didn't stop there. Just may have been a ........

SuperHappyUP!!!Day

HappyUP!!! - D. C. 

Why it happened - he was a guest

Why it makes me happy -he will now be a member

HappyUP!!! - BB

Why it happened -she returned an email with a call

Why it makes me happy -so fab chatting with this lady. We had lost touch. She is one of those people that has a place a little "closer to the center" of my radar screen. Not due to excessive quantity of time...but quality of that time and the kind of person that she is

HappyUP!!! -J

Why it happened - I needed a notary

Why it makes me happy - so wonderful to have a friend do me a good turn when I was in need. Her assistance pretty much marked the END of a process that needed to happen. It was a process that has been YEARS in coming to fruition.  Just a super favor and a nice little visit!

HappyUP!!! -out of the hospital

Why it happened - who knows

Why it makes me happy-my buddy usually spends a few days there after such a procedure. He is healing at home now.....and....for that.....my heart bursts with joy

HappyUP!!! Day 4375

HappyUP!!! - the Muscle is OK

Why it happened -he had to have surgery

Why it makes me happy - I was heartbroken to find out my lil buddy was overcome again by his chronic condition.  I got to pay a pre-op visit.  Everything turned out well.  Lengthy recovery ahead

HappyUP!!! - great walk

Why it happened -I do that

Why it makes me happy - perfect morning to get some things off my mind (see above). The knee could have done better.....but it also could have been much worse. Great to be on the trail again after a few days of absence

HappyUP!!! - Sienna

Why it happened -we went to dinner

Why it makes me happy -this place is my little sleeper here in Roseville. Nope, not the cheapest place, but always delivers great quality and I can get in most of the time without planning

HappyUP!!! - new speaker

Why it happened -I was at Frye's

Why it makes me happy-I wasn't there for this reason but this had been on my radar to fix for awhile. Found a GREAT option to fix my sitch and scooped it up. NICE VIBING going on now!!!

HappyUP!!! Day 4374

HappyUP!!! - World Cup final

Why it happened -it's going on

Why it makes me happy - FIFA and soccer did a great job this time in supporting their sport. The final had a couple of things happen that were sketchy...but that is to be expected in a game of this magnitude. Great game and tournament

HappyUP!!! - "Rainy Night" slide thing

Why it happened -I was listening

Why it makes me happy -maybe I do have a little bit of an ear. I heard a guitar part to this song. I had no idea what was going on there. I picked up the geeeetar and I will be darned if I didn't figure it out.....and rather quickly. This is not something I usually can do. Perhaps I am getting a little better

HappyUP!!! - Travis picking

Why it happened -I was doing a little searching

Why it makes me happy -OK...not committed to learning this yet....and...it is a commitment to do so. I did find a cool little instructional piece, however, that could "ease me into it" a bit. I now have an option to "eat this elephant one bite at a time."

HappyUP!!! Day 4373

HappyUP!!! - Uniforms

Why it happened -we installed a process

Why it makes me happy -"Shirt Power!!!" It was so funny matching attire with my partner today. Hey, we tied for 4th out of 40. The greatest thing was that, after 18, we changed from a dark shirt to a white one because of the afternoon heat for the final round.  "Uh....I just played 18 holes in warm weather. You aren't changing your shirt, you uncouth heathen!"...was my laughing response. Great stuff! In reality, it was nice to put on a fresh shirt in this heat. I may shower between next year

HappyUP!!! - "Gimmie the ball"

Why it happened -we got into the shootout

Why it makes me happy - after winning the flight, we survived the 15th and 16th hole without being eliminated. This put me on the tee on the par 3 seventeenth. All the knocked out competitors watching from the green 175 yards away. I soooooooo had wanted ....even mentally prepared for this exact moment. Yep, "gimme the shot, coach!"  Nothing but "good, excited" nerves. I took a swing, hit it a winky bit thin, looked for it to find the front of the green.....and.....watched it land right in the midle of the sand trap. Wah Wah ...LOL.  Lots of fun

HappyUP!!! - solid play all day long

Why it happened -I have been doing that...I'd say good mental space

Why it makes me happy -it's was a big tourney that we hosted. I had a guest out. It was nice to be a great anchor for the team.  I think I was only 6 over for 27 holes...then hit some great shots in the shootout (well...up until that sand trap thing above...LOL). Just a great day of golf, food, and fellowship

HappyUP!!! - World Cup Consolation

Why it happened -it's going on

Why it makes me happy- after a full day on the links and in the sun, it was good to come home to a meaningless game on the DVR.  The two teams, who I am sure did not want to be there, put on a good show and represented themselves as well as sportsmanship in high fashion

HappyUP!!! Day 4372

HappyUP!!! - GREEEEAAAAT Weather

Why it happened -we played early

Why it makes me happy -it's the middle of July...in the valley, people. Yep, we teed of a bit after 8.. but that shouldn't mean we get treated to one of the nicest climates of playing in for the year. I am sure it got nastier in the afternoon but that was nice

HappyUP!!! - 3 birdies on the back side

Why it happened - nice shots ....and really nice putting

Why it makes me happy - that was about 45 feet of putts in those 3 holes...on the back 9. THAT turned the day around (yeah...a couple of oopsies on the front). 3 birdies in one day is pretty much my max....but...dang it....I had good looks on 2 other holes on the back

HappyUP!!! - sand play

Why it happened - skillz

Why it makes me happy - 3 traps....3 nice bunker shots....2 sandies....this part of the game has really perked up nicely with the chipping

HappyUP!!! -triads

Why it happened -I was doing a little searching and noodling

Why it makes me happy- while aware of the concept, it was nice to see a little piece of instruction on this today. It helped me tweek a song I have had for a long time. Niiiicccccce

HappyUP!!! Day 4371

HappyUP!!! - Rainy Night in Georgia

Why it happened - I did some digging

Why it makes me happy - I never really heard this song back in it's hey day. It's a fun one to noodle around with....and to sing with

HappyUP!!! - keyboard

Why it happened - I dusted it off

Why it makes me happy - it was kind of a noodling day. Not sure I need this distraction BUT it is kind of neat to transfer skills

HappyUP!!! -breaking even

Why it happened -someone played worse

Why it makes me happy -I kinda stunk today....OK...not really....just things were a touch off. I pulled it together.....some days are like that. Golf imitates life

HappyUP!!! Day 4370

HappyUP!!! - Croatia and England

Why it happened -World Cup

Why it makes me happy -got done swinging the sticks just in time to come into the clubhouse to catch the end of this game....and the overtime. Croatia is amazing. Three straight overtimes. Such a tiny country. Giant Killers.  It would be a shame if they don't take down France this weekend.

HappyUP!!! - the good doc...and his doc guest

Why it happened - he hit me up

Why it makes me happy -good to get out on the course with this dude. It's been waaaaay too long. Great to catch up....even if some of the catching up was "real stuff".

HappyUP!!! - closing birdie

Why it happened -a decent 6 iron...and a helluva putt

Why it makes me happy -ya just can't hang it up in this game. We got pressed on 18...my partner was DOA from the tee shot. I didn't hit a very good tee shot either....nudged a hybrid to 170...we were clearly on the short end of this stick. With partner out of it, somebody had to offset that point..."who? Me?...uh...I'm 170 out?"......mission accomplished....and that is why we play the game...moments like that! Never ever EVER are those taken for granted

HappyUP!!! - lunch with all

Why it happened - done early and hungry

Why it makes me happy- it was a good morning...and appropriately capped

HappyUP!!! Day 4369

HappyUP!!! - full group tomorrow

Why it happened -I think heat......

Why it makes me happy -....or could it be my attractiveness? Hmmmm. I think I will leave the why alone and be glad we are playing as 5 rather than 3

HappyUP!!! - Tomato delivery

Why it happened - it's that time of year

Why it makes me happy - I have toooooo many.....and the people that got some overflow seemed very appreciative. Some even ready for another load!!!

HappyUP!!! - an Icebreaker

Why it happened - a new member

Why it makes me happy -always great to hear the back story on the new people and assess where they are in their journey

HappyUP!!! - a little something for a friend

Why it happened - someone was thoughtful

Why it makes me happy-...OK...it was me! But others did pitch in which was awesome! A spirit will be lifted

HappyUP!!! Day 4368

HappyUP!!! - some great old notes

Why it happened - I was going through an old book

Why it makes me happy - why do things come along....oftentimes....right on time? No, it doesn't always happen...but I sure notice when they do.

HappyUP!!! - good day for the injury

Why it happened -keep on rehabbing

Why it makes me happy -I thought today may be a good day for a day off...then...I said, "what voice is saying that?"  I deemed it was my lazy voice and had a great session

HappyUP!!! - my TraderJoes helper

Why it happened - old friend of mine

Why it makes me happy - we got to gabbing while she was on a break....and helped me find the Kimchi!!!! I NEEDED Kimchi!!!

HappyUP!!! - let the complaining begin

Why it happened -a new justice was appointed

Why it makes me happy- I don't care much for all of the griping. But...the gripers gonna gripe. They might as well gripe rather than do all the pre-griping!

JollyJottings 

HappyUP!!! Day 4367

Hey!!! Check it out!!! -I found THAT sock!!! You know...the one whose brother came out of the wash as a single.  

I know - "that's no big deal, Scott, it happens all the time." 



While I would agree with you - that it isn't earth shattering but doesn't it make you happy for a second every time the moment happens./ It's like long lost siblings being reunited!

And...don't even tell me - they always get back together!

This time - it was different. It was just Friday night that I did a very small load of whites.  I guess that would be a light light load? Anyway, there were so few clothes that it was obvious a sock was missing...a relatively NEW sock.  There weren't many places to look for this one as the socks went right off my feet into the wash.

I became Sock Detective - I checked the washer to see if one didn't make the transfer to the dryer. Nope. I checked the dryer really hard to see if it was hiding. Again, no luck. I went through the shirts that were in the load to see if it might have been an electrostatic Kling-on....NOPE!

On Sunday - I do a load of dark clothes. Now, keep in mind, the missing sock was NEVER in a hamper. There was NO WAY it could have mixed with the darks....

....and...it comes out of the load with the darks - so...the anwer to where "that" sock goes when it doesn't come home is......

......still a mystery!

HappyUP!!! - found sock

Why it happened -see above

Why it makes me happy -see above

HappyUP!!! - found parts

Why it happened -I was looking for something else

Why it makes me happy - come on....I had given up on this and adequately kicked myself....and then....VOILA!!! The parts were right where I left them so they wouldn't get lost!

HappyUP!!! - partner secured

Why it happened -I made the invitation

Why it makes me happy - we have gone at it before. Our success rate is rising....no matter...we always have fun!!!

HappyUP!!! Day 4366

HappyUP!!! - walking

Why it happened - they got him up

Why it makes me happy - so happy to hear that they had my friend walk the corridor just two days after his "fish gutting." It sounds like his early recovery is ahead of schedule and the specialists are pleased

HappyUP!!! - Birdie on 11

Why it happened - a DOPE 6 iron

Why it makes me happy - I hadn't birdied this persnickety hole all year. Take THAT, Hole 11!!!

HappyUP!!! - salmon

Why it happened -I get busy

Why it makes me happy - love a nice piece of BBQ fish....this one may have been cooked a little less than I normally do.....and I think I like it better that way! Nice and moist...with a bit of sushi quality in the middle.

HappyUP!!! - shotmaking

Why it happened - I got skillz

Why it makes me happy- I hit a high draw with a 7 iron around a tree on 7...muah! Perfection. We already talked about the 6 iron on 11.  I hit the cutest pitch to 4 that did everything but go in the hole for an eagle...gimmie birdie.  There was also that radical 6 iron slice from out of the trees on 15. A NEAT little bellied wedge to make par on 16. A darling punch/pitched 9 iron from under a tree on 18.
(if it sounds like I was in the trees a lot, it is because I was.....but, most of the time I extracted well... hey...with all of the practice at it, I should. Hoping the DRIVER is a HappyUP!!! soon so I don't have all these exotic shots to report on!
