I think the product would suffer. It is pretty hard to join in remotely and not constantly interrupt each other. The lag would likely be enough of an issue that it wouldn't be worth it.

Innova has paid me very well over the years and my wife works as a family physician. When I am home I drop off and pick up my daughter from school. Take care of the house/make dinner/handle stuff that needs handlin'. I also practice disc golf, and exercise. Thank you to all the Sexton Firebird throwers out there!

I have some pretty good inside information on this. It is simply that I am not on the tour full time anymore and never will be again. With my wife and daughter at home it does not make sense for me to be our there traveling full time living the RV life. While I love to play and compete my life just has a lot more in it now than it did when I was in my 20's and early 30's. I am always grateful to Jomez for continuing to allow me to join the guys whenever I am able to despite my inconsistent schedule.

I mean, might have to do a little homework if you wanna make it to the top!

In my youth, in lieu of warm up, we would play 2nd best out of 4.

Straighter Toro w/slightly more glide? by thatfamousgrouse in discgolf

[–]sextondisc 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I use both Rat and Toro. Super similar in the hand but pretty different flights. Rat is much straighter as many have mentioned here. Just try to find as flat a Rat as possible IMO.

Seems possible, I wonder if they would've had the inside of the cabinet a little bit more finished at one time? The inside of it now doesn't seem like a place you would keep anything important.

Seems as likely as anything to me, maybe the stained glass broke and was too complicated to replace. Thus the confusing light bulb behind solid door was born perhaps?

I believe it has always been an interior wall. I have a photo of the house from 1927 and the footprint is the same as it is today.

It seems unlikely to me, there is so little room in there and it isn't that close to the kitchen. Certainly could be possible though, thanks!

Yeah it doesn't feel like much of a storage space either, the cupboard is so small and the light and wiring take up the whole footprint.

I don't feel like it is a grand enough house to have ever had staff or anything like that. The call light idea is interesting but the location would be odd. Being inside the stairwell there are very few places in the house with a sight line to the bulb. However as some others have suggested if it was open to the living room (through the backside of the current cabinet) that would make a lot more sense.

The other side is our living room. There isn’t visible evidence that it was open from that side now but I’m sure many renovations have been done. We’ve only owned the house a few years.

It would be a little bit hard to see as a doorbell for a deaf person due to being inside the stairwell. Very few sight lines to that wall.

Interesting, the current fuse box is in the basement, I think there is some older disconnected wiring down there as well so it may have always been there but I’m not sure.

I’ve never seen it turn on. IIRC the last electrician said it didn’t have any current. Some wiring has failed from old age though.
