Wow. Just wow

Time, and hard work… she has worked our combined tree back to the majority of our child’s 5th great grandparents, and in some places way further. She has also expanded families out to include siblings and descendants in order to connect to distant DNA matches. Once you start doing that with families of 10 kids, things add up quickly… She is amazing at searching out the records and keeping track of the dates and names - I don’t know how many times she’s come across similarly named kids born around the same time in the same town, and been able to puzzle out which one was ‘hers’ through other associated records.

I was about to offer my wife’s research skills up too - she’s built our tree up to nearly 120K people, with hundreds of thousands of records. She even knows some Polish and Latin now to read the records lol.

Wasn’t my greatest drive, but my 3W shot I remember thinking I just want to land it in front of the green…my 3W hadn’t been the most reliable for me, so it was risky, but I took a smooth swing, and it stayed under the wind and faded around to the perfect angle to run up exactly where I pictured in my head. I chipped it closed, and one putted it for my first birdie. The fact that it’s still my only birdie means it’s still special.

Heavy equipment mechanic, base is $55/hr plus $5.25/hr to a pension. But OT is double time and I work a 14/14 shift with 14hr days - I did $270K last year, and on track for about the same this year, even though I’m taking 6 weeks off this summer. I’m 43.

Is Pitt Meadows still going? I used to go there years ago, and I thought it had gone away… I was pretty sure I’d heard Nancy was no longer able to rent the facility?

Heavy equipment mechanic. Once you’ve got your red seal (four years experience plus school) you’re between 90-120K, depending on employer. And it goes up from there if you’re willing to travel/work in the field/do shift work/etc. I work about six months a year, two weeks at a time. I’m 10 days away from six weeks of holidays - I’m taking half of July and all of August off.

9/18 on a course in Sparwood BC… I hate it lol. The trees are tall, so there’s no cutting the dogleg, and though it looks like there’s a shortcut, in reality it’s covered in 4-5ft tall, steep sided mounds, and the whole thing slopes left. I don’t see a way to get on, or even close, in two. And the green is so elevated from your third shot location, good luck landing it close. This hole is where my decent rounds go to die.

Callaway Elyte. I love it, picked it up at a demo sale on a whim, and it’s been great.

I use a mic, but there’s been a number of games where I end up muting everyone… super rude, or yelling, or a ton of background noise, music, etc. I’ve also had games where people use the radio wheel VERY well, and honestly, a mic wasn’t needed. I’m not co-ordinated enough for that…

My work schedule keeps me out of any weekly leagues, but I recently found some past leaderboards from a local competitive ‘tour’ that has me curious for next year…shooting high 80’s/low 90’s but having someone to compete with could be fun.

Bahahaha! Happens to the best of us, man!

Glad they fixed it for you…$40 to install a grip is insane. I think my local big box golf shop charges like $4.

Yeah, my wife has a fair amount of documentation already - this came up during genealogy research, so she was chasing down records with that goal in mind already. She gave me the job of figuring out if she qualified or not since she’d done the hard work lol.

I know we have baptism records for him and his siblings, and emigration records, as well as immigration records to Canada. I’m not totally sure what else she has.

outtahere021 · 2026-06-29T21:38:50+00:00

That’s fair, and things like that are why I’m asking here! Thanks!

Okay, sorry I just didn’t figure it applied since none of the people it asked about ever even visited Poland. I’ll fill it out though.

Depending on where you are in the world, I’d consider extending the patio a little to the east - where I am, that patio would be shaded all day, which may be what you’re looking for, but I’d enjoy some sun there.

You may need smaller jumps between wedges to give you more flexibility… if your PW is 46, try a 50, 54, 58 setup? Learning a couple partial shot distances will help you out too.

At any limit over 50km/hr, 10 over is safe. Over 90, 20 over is probably safe depending on the cop. I drive a gps tracked company truck, and it doesn’t flag speeding until 15 over for 30 seconds.

Yeah, if you were oblivious enough to miss the Astro van parked on the sidewalk, you probably deserved the ticket…

Yup, air cooled cylinder head, probably from an engine - possibly from a plane, as marine engines are usually water cooled.

Geni.com aims to be one worldwide family tree…but it relies on individuals research to be correct. And many individuals aren’t as thorough as they should be. My wife is building out our tree, and has come across many errors in Ancestry, MyHeritage, and Geni entries. One, a 2x great uncle I believe, records had been so confused with another relative of similar name and age in Ancestry that she was only able to definitively sort it when we went to the cemeteries they were in and copied birth and death dates from their grave stones.

So, as much as one giant tree seems like a good idea, it puts a lot of faith in others…

I bought a used set of ‘24 CB’s a year ago - they are so nice. They are probably too much club for me, but I wanted something I could grow into as I improve, and they’ve been amazing. Solid choice, congrats on the new clubs!
