We just got the National Weather Service alert to move to the basement. Winds expected to reach 65 to 70 mph and to expect damage to roofs, downed trees and power lines. But no kidding it’s just as calm as can be here now, no sign of anything except an occasional roll of Thunder from far far off in the distance.

Looks like the big bad weather just passed right on by us here, but I’m gonna roll with it anyway. Got some old REO Speedwagon’s Ridin The Storm Out (Gary R could play with the best of em) blaring through the Bose and some of life’s comforts on hand.

Didn’t realize you live up that way. I lived in Elizabethton from 2014-2018. I miss playing golf up that way. Most everything in middle TN is flat. Love the elevation changes up your way. I really miss the tee shot on #12 at Buffalo Valley though it shut down. Also miss Graysburg Hills in Chuckey. Hell I even miss Pine Oaks!

I was a member at Graysburg for 21 years and still play there fairly often. I now play The Crossings quite often since it’s now public now and play The Cattails At Meadowview the most of all of them, it’s 10 minutes from home and I purchase the Gold card there which is a very good deal if you’re paying often. I had played Buffalo Valley a few times, didn’t care much for it, same with Pine Oaks. I hear Pine Oaks has come along away and is much better shape now.

Dude I’ve played Pine Oaks more than any course I’ve stepped foot on. They used to close the clubhouse at 6pm. Allowed walkers to play until dark. My wife was in Med School at the time so she was studying a lot. I bought a push cart and was out there 3 or 4 nights a week in the spring and summer. In June and July I could usually get 18 in with time to spare. I’ve never played better golf. That’s what it takes. You gotta be hitting shots on a regular basis.

Throwing this out there as a shot in the dark to all our VN lawyers and pretend lawyers. I have a cousin in a bad marriage, they've been separated for a few months. The divorce is coming but the husband is dragging his feet on filing, even though he initiated it. She left the house even though she had legal right to stay until things are settled and is back living with my aunt and uncle. Come to find out when my cousin is going to an important doctor's appointment she found out that the husband removed her from his health insurance. Not sure how much this context matters legally but he was a controlling and traditional dude that wanted her to be stay at home and not work, she was working full time until he made it clear that's what he wanted and she quit and got on his plan.

In my preliminary research it appears that it's certainly illegal to drop the spouse from the coverage during divorce proceedings, however since the husband is taking his sweet time with everything he hasn't filed yet. So technically it looks like he's in the clear, but i can't imagine a judge would look very kindly on that behavior if it came to it? Just wondering if the juice is worth the squeeze here, she's got some major medical appointments that would not be feasible to pay out of pocket. She is getting zero communication back from him and his lawyer.

What's the play here?

Update: lawyer apparently told her she's SOL. Doesn't seem right to me but shows what I know.

I haven’t been playing any at all lately, with Dad’s dementia worsening daily. I’ve been chomping at the bit to play lately since it’s been sunny and in the upper 60’s here this week. I have contacted The Visiting Angels and have a consultation set for next week, I can hopefully get some help there with Dad and be able to get back out there hacking away soon. I’ve got a little 5 day vacation with 3 rounds at Sequoyah National scheduled for the last week of next month so I’d like to get back in the groove before then, a man doesn’t want to play there without some practice rounds. I highly recommend you play there if you haven’t already. Absolutely beautiful golf course.

Yup. Guy's a loser.

The family may or may not have mentioned that a few times before they got hitched..

Yep, he’s a premium asshat. You can be a prick without having to be a full blown prick, that is apparently beyond his capability.
