I don't follow golf much outside if the majors but the finish at the Travelers was crazy. Tommy Fleetwood has 42 top 10 finishes without a win. Led by 1 on the final hole. Bogeys 18, Keegan Bradley birdies for the win. Henley finished one shot back. On Friday he called a one shot penalty on himself on something no one saw and no cameras around.

I don't drink very often and when I do drink beer I will always drink a beer from a Wisconsin craft brewery, there are many and I want to support them. Leinie's is not that (Miller bought them in 1988) but I've had some Summer Shandy's the last 3 days and they sure hit the spot.

Funny story. I went to college with one of the daughters and she was a terrible person. Would take my parking spot in our driveway with her BMW while I was on crutches and I would have to park 10 blocks away and crutch back home even after I'd ask her not to park there (she didn't live at our house, her bf lived above us...that was just one instance of her being a jerk.

Anyways, I refused to drink Leinie's for years. I'm talking like 10-15 years. But recently the only available beer was a Summer Shandy and god damnit, they're good.

I was never a big beer drinker. Would drink Lite just to get drunk. Mainly stuck to mixers, seltzers, and ciders. I need to taste something a little sweet. Stuff like Shandy, Spotted Cow, or the fruit flavored beers from craft breweries.

I have pretty much stopped drinking though. Got sick of feeling like crap the morning after while having to deal with kids. Pretty much stick to 1-2 THC beverages if I want to feel something.

Third sinus infection since January, 2nd in less than 2 months. I hate my nose. I even had surgery when I was 16 to fix a broken nose, deviated septum and a 10 month sinus infection. Now I'll need to go in and do even more work. Worst part is, I leave for Denver tomorrow and the antibiotics always give me the runs. Perfect for traveling and going to a concert!

Regardless, I can't wait to experience Red Rocks for the first time. Especially seeing my favorite band of all time. Need a break from the normal home life/working world for a few days. Weather looking great too.

I love Colorado. Last year I spent some time in the Boulder area and Colorado Springs area. Loved it. And Red Rocks is a great venue.

Manitou Incline is my favorite cardio activity. Crazy how tough it is.

Thanks for the heads up. This is cool.

She didn't break 4, but she did shave over a second off of her own WR.

A lady at the New Berlin Princeton Club broke the woman's planking record last Friday: 4 hours and 30 minutes and bloody elbows.

The even wilder thing is the men's record is 5 hours longer.

LOL what a disaster.

I'm supposed to move tomorrow. Tonight I find out:

• the apartment I signed the lease for ISN'T the one I'm supposed to move into. The bitch realtor showed me a much nicer unit with 300 more square feet, then sent me the lease to a smaller unit.

• the one I'm actually moving into won't fit my furniture in the living room in any kind of acceptable way. this would have been the dealbreaker had I actually toured it.

• there's a **** little dog in the apartment sharing the wall, and I can hear the little **** clear as day. I've spent the last six years not hearing a single neighbor once, and the first thing I notice is I've got thin walls.

• on my way back to my current place, the movers that have been ducking my calls for a week FINALLY call me back. It turns out, these are some *** kids (they butt dialed me first and I could hear them talking in the car) who live over two hours away, and U-Haul gave me a wrong quote. Never mind that I already paid, they would have to charge me much more and they recommended I just cancel the appointment and try and get a refund. After I got done yelling at them for NOT LETTING ME KNOW THIS A MONTH AGO WHEN I HIRED THEM, I hung up and screamed.

• this is a big problem, because I literally HAVE to move tomorrow. I only wanted my storage unit through June 27th. If I still have **** in it on June 28th, I get charged for another month.

• I googled and sent out emergency quote requests to everyone in town (absolutely F*CK going through U-Haul, those criminals). I got one quote back fairly quickly. It was up to $1000 more than what I originally paid.

I'm going to a bar for the first time in years and I'm going to do something more fun to salvage the night, like drink Malört.

What's the affect of those? Like being buzzed?

[MickeyDavis]

Oh man that sucks RS. Noisy neighbors can really mess up your life. Apartment or house. I hate yapping dogs. The last time I moved I hired movers through U-Haul but I didn't have to pay anything until after the move. U-Haul provided me with a code that I entered into the system when it was done and that released the payment to the 2 guys. Their quote was quite a bit cheaper than the next lowest but they showed up and did a good job. I had to rent the truck separately and I had to drive it. It was only about 10 miles, not too bad. Movers are always a gamble.

**** hell, man. That sucks. No chance of breaking the lease and pushing back the move, huh? I'd bite the bullet on the storage unit for a month over spending a year in a place that'll make me miserable, especially if finding a mover is going to be a major problem.

I'm moving to Milwaukee in a couple months after nearly 20 years living elsewhere, and we're in the process of going through moving companies. I've had pretty good luck with local moving companies in Madison - they've shown up on time, wrapped up the furniture, disassembled and reassembled what they needed to, etc. But holy hell, they're not cheap - the cheapest quote I've received so far is about $200 an hour for a move from the Madison area to Milwaukee. That's almost 50% more then I paid the last time I moved about three years ago. I'm going to try to save some money by moving whatever I can on my own and leaving them to handle the big things.

They are marketed with different effects. Some claim to help you sleep, some claim to get you high, etc. I go for the ones that give you a little buzz, but like drinking you can still overdo it. I had a few one night last Christmas break and went to lay down for bed. Every time I shut my eyes it was like looking through a kaleidoscope. Then all of my dreams that night were made of Legos. It was wild.

I did this the last time I moved. Made 3 or 4 round trips with all the small stuff that would fit in our RAV4.
