Tip Tuesday


"There comes a point, no matter how good an athlete you are, no matter how well trained you are, that it's going to transcend the physical, and become about the mental. You better get rid of that comfort zone real quick."
- Ken Chlouber

Wha'd up?

Hey everyone.  Another Wednesday has arrived :-) We are half way through the work week.

Speaking of...Twin 2 started a new job.  Still with the NS Government but in a different department.  She is still getting settled in as its only been 2 full days so far.

Our golf lessons were cancelled once again last night due to cold and a probability of rain. 

Another bike ride is on the agenda for this evening.  We went on one Saturday afternoon down to the Bike and Bean and it was packed!  We decided to just run in for a pee and leave....but we had our oatcake when we got home. 

We are all out of oatcake treats so while grocery shopping we picked up Strawberry frosted cookies and they are yum!  We had one the night we bought them and then threw the rest in the freezer for after a bike ride we can have a treat.

That's about all folks.

Wha'd Up?

Last night was our 3rd golf lesson.  We knew going that it was International Women's Golf Day and from 4pm-8pm they had some things going on. We showed up and went down to the putting green for 715 and we were the only ones there.  Still no one there at 745 so with a great debate we decided to go ask someone if they knew what was going on.  Twin 2 found the coach and he said that he sent out notification that our lesson was cancelled....we never got any notification.  He suggested that we go down to the putting green and practice and we told him we were already there for 1/2 hour.  Then Twin 2 asked if we could use the driving range, he said sure, then he said better yet why don't you go out and play a few holes.  So off the Twins went to play some holes.  By this time it was 8pm and we were cold but we played #1, #2 and drove to #9 and played that.  It was chilly and we decided that we were warm weather golfers.  We always knew that but the last few times we've been out its been confirmed. 

Tonight is our regularly scheduled bike ride for the Bike Challenge but right now its pouring.  It is supposed to clear up so we will see what tonight brings.  It is allowed that we can bike on our stationary bikes which might be an option if its still raining hard. With the challenge so far so good on being right on track.

Tip Tuesday

If one of your car lights is burnt out make sure you are buying the right bulb replacement.  Otherwise, if you put the wrong one in it will mess up all the other lights and will confuse you even more.  The front and back ones are two totally different bulbs and connections (for Signal Lights anyway).

Learned from experience.

WE ARE TAKING GOLF LESSONS!

Every Tuesday evening at 7:15 for the next 5 weeks we are taking golf lessons.  They are 6 weeks but we had our first lesson last night.  We joined a Lady's Clinic at Brunello Golf course.  Last night was the first lesson and it was PUTTING.

http://www.brunelloestates.com/golf-course/

A few fun facts (rules) we learnt were:

1- If you put your knee on the green when marking the ball or reading the green its a 2 stroke penalty

2 - If you are on the green and putt and hit the flag post then its a 2 stroke penalty but its not if you are putting from the fringe.

He had us doing different drills and he had us putting with our eyes closed as Putting is all about feel and you have to trust your putt.

Maybe our Wednesday blog will be about our "golf tips" we learned. HA!

Friend Requests

Twin 1 goes to bed rather early some nights and this sometimes means she wakes up in the middle of the night and decides to see what is going on in Facebookland.  She apparently is half asleep while doing so as she wakes up in the morning seeing people have accepted her friend requests....who are these people?  People from Europe....

but it wasn't the Queen, that request is still awaiting acceptance.
