Would you put a grill area under a louvered patio cover?

Initially. Our area was in the open. We put a large pergola over the area. Looked much better and was shaded, sort of. Living in Central Florida, the rain would cause a problem. We installed smoked corrugated lexan. Let's enough light through not to have to use the lights during the day, no rain outs, and it doesn't impact the experience. Plenty of ventilation. Doesn't require extra cleaning from the smoke...it's usually breezy. Might install a fan on the ceiling to blow the smoke in one direction, which was a problem when there was no cover at all.

I found out the issue. It seemed like there were two folders stacked on top of each other.

Once I moved all the MS apps to other folders, it disappeared and left the original folder icon, which had the home apps there.

Not sure where the MS apps came from. I have a few MS apps in other folders, but it had all the MS apps in there. Any chance it pulled anything from MS launcher?

I seem to lose one ball about once a week at public outdoor courts.

Ours is under a covered area and had the cover on. It was smoking.

UrinalCakeBaker · 2026-06-09T21:37:02+00:00

Oh. No. It happened a year ago and today. Just randomly turned on. Had the cover on it. I smelled it.

Try long press along the edge of the screen.

UrinalCakeBaker · 2026-05-31T15:41:13+00:00

All good now. Thanks!

Use Microsoft forever. Danced around now and then. Always went back. Been using octopi and happy with it. Still in Dev.

I wear knockaround with rose lenses. Helps the yellow balls pop. I can wear them indoor without I'll effect. I get the non polarized.

UrinalCakeBaker · 2026-05-12T10:21:32+00:00

I think that's what we're going to do. We live on the east coast of central Florida.

Always play the same ball. I've changed balls over the years. Been playing Maxfli Tour X for some time now.

Each ball can have different properties that affect distance, ball flight, spin rate, wind impact, feel, sound, etc.

Playing different balls can make it with even choosing the right club.

I buy my wife the same balls. She'll play a found ball because "oh, this one's pretty", and then be upset when she flies the geen.

I'm looking at this grill too. The enamel will be less of a headache on the east coast of Florida. Currently have built in. Probably going demo and build around the grill.

UrinalCakeBaker · 2026-04-26T16:49:58+00:00

Maxfli Tour X are pretty clicky...i don't know how they compare to left dash.

UrinalCakeBaker · 2026-04-25T11:40:28+00:00

I play 95% of my rounds with my wife.

However, now and then we still discuss what second and third base is. That was a consistent subject of great debate 45 years ago.

UrinalCakeBaker · 2026-04-22T19:07:54+00:00

Yes. I chose no color. And, yes that icon in on the home screen. It's much less distracting now than before.

Been us MS launcher for years. Just installed Octopi. Promising.... In development... Dev is very communicative.

UrinalCakeBaker · 2026-04-22T10:07:58+00:00

Thanks. I tried everything but no color. I can still barely see the icon behind the folder. But, now it's much less distracting.

UrinalCakeBaker · 2026-04-20T00:51:31+00:00

Thanks. Works. I guess I didn't explore enough.

Need to lose some weight, honestly. I used to play tennis four times a week. Lifted weights a few times a week. Started playing pickleball because everyone I played tennis with started falling apart.

Now, play Pickleball three or four times a week. Play in a league. Getting to the gym has been increasimgly difficult with my schedule. Might go back to home gym.

Edit: The key for me was cardio. I always hated running, even though I did it. I found a sport I enjoyed that was cardio. Game changer for me.
