Whiskey Hills disc golf course, an adventure to hell.
Recently I had a day off so I called my closest Disc buddie Nicko and said, “I got gas money, let’s play big” I was thinking of the Leviathan down in Ludington when he texted “No! we are playing in Custer at Whiskey Hills.” Obviously intrigued, I looked it up on Udisc and Oh, Hell, Yes! I just had my Kia repaired and was in the mood for an hours drive so south we went in 2 cars, I flew solo that day and of course got there first, kinda like Brochetta.
Signs
The first Tee
So off we went into the hills, and discovered some odd shaped rock formations, We can’t figure out where they came from, the rocks that is.
Lanes
Aliens? Indians?
Where did they get all the rocks?
I read the reviews the night before we went and they spoke of a lot of up and down, which is to say, climb a hill, throw across a valley, walk down and then up said valley and then to the basket.
Looking down

A nice finish

and on the way home I found some more real Michigan, this part of the state is pretty cool.
And Never, Ever, forget your Tick collars on your feet or you will be sorry.
I’ll certainly miss playing here, but life goes on.
The tick collars. That was my idea. 😉
Actually it was Hayek that turned me on to them, a great idea never the less,
Pyrithren is your friend up here
I’ve seen the anti bug bracelets but still haven’t actually used.
Never thought about using for pants – normally just spray off around my ankles.
I spray my Vans with Pyrithren and wear the collars, it works for me, I get into nasty places if I mis throw,
They look way too big to fit a tick.
Have you SEEN Michagander ticks?
We can’t figure out where they came from, the rocks that is.
And me without a cairn in the world…
Rock on?
That pun gave me a tomb-er.
Don’t take it for granite.
I Shale forgive your comment good Sir
That’s very gneiss of you.
If you’ve got stone puns, put them menhir.
*Narrows Gaze*
I uploaded a new article. Schedule it at your convenience.

A gesture of mild disapproval, if I’m getting the schist of things right.
Given time and pressure we may get something more volcanic.
Keep it up, and you’ll have Swiss drinking by the quartz.
You’d think he would be jaded by now.
Schist. The meteor storm is a bust. It is not a shower and merely a meteor mist.
I am leaving in an hour or so to play some night Disc golf, the discs look like this,

We light the baskets and use as much ambient light as we can but #2 is a black hole, how delicious!
I would do a pictoral but all the pics would be black,

Remember the Fallen!
Meaty! My Insta-pot stew is too watery so I’m simmering it down. So hungry….

Haven’t been back there since the 90s when we’d camp there on long weekends. Place always felt haunted then too. That’s on my list to revisit if/when i ever make it back.
“I got gas money, let’s play big”
You won the lotto? How else could you afford gas?
I like the pictures. Looks like a good time.
I’m stuck in town for the next few weeks, fortunately we have 2 courses to play, Tonights is pretty fun once everything is lit up, the discs look so cool lit up,
UFOs!!!
Those abandoned houses remind me of rural upstate NY.
It looks like Vermont at times, very pretty land up here, way too much water though,
Put a politician in those cages and let us use circular saw blades. New national pastime.
Is the garbage can where you drop your fiver?
Time to fly! I need to set up the basket lights before dark,
Tall Cans Everyone!
Tall cans!*
*I’m actually drinking tall cans
Have a banger round, Yusef.
Nice scenery, Yusef!
Hope you have a good night round.
No dicks out for Ukraine

“ The minister expressed concerns that some evacuees could become victims of human trafficking”
Perfect example of a self fulfilling prophecy.

Prosecutors said a Live Oak father and son accused of possessing & selling firearms silencers had vast amounts of firearms and ammunition in their home, according to court documents.
Like it matters how many legal items they had. That’s basically like arresting someone for bomb threats and the authorities saying, “And he was using his right to free speech to say a bunch legal stuff, too.”
Father and son arrested with fertilizer and ammonia, enough to make 50 billion bombs! They even posed with it!
Listening to these EU leaders talking about “our goods” and “Putin’s oil” like it’s their shit to be doled or or restricted. Then you got Trudeau out there with his tiny stick and mouth. Collectivists can collectively SMD.
They are firing the cannon now –
Will it bring me back my dead?
Will it raise my soldier-brother’s form,
And restore his spirit fled?
In far Virginia’s soil
He sleeps the “last long sleep,”
While I, his sister so bereft,
His memory e’er shall keep.
Fair was his youthful brow,
Tender his loving eye,
Loyal his hear to his native South,
When he bade his home good-bye!
High were his hopes of life,
Nobel his soul sincere –
O! mocking dream of the “long ago,”
So sudden his early bier!
They are strewing the flowers now –
O! my darling brave and true!
Can they crown with joy your pallid brow
As we fondly used to do.
When your voice like a bugle-call
To patriot duty came;
And your laugh like a rippling summer stream
Intensified the flame.
Of love three sisters bore
For an only brother’s form –
Alas! alas! that he should die
So early ‘mid the storm.
I shall met you yet again!
Bright in my soul your worth
Shall blossom and blossom on through
years,
‘Till i bid adieu to earth.
Sweet be thy soldier-rest;
Happy thy christian bed;
Loyal and true thy manly breast –
My brother is not dead!
— “Decoration Day” by Ellen Hebron
Lovely
Hey kids! I’m back from some night golf, hella fun, nice conditions, drunkeness and weed,
A nice game!
Nice Yusef!

We play at night

I’m just imagining the complete and utter bafflement of the owls, raccoons, and other nocturnal critters as they see one of those discs fly past. “What the hell was THAT?” I can see them thinking to themselves.
I have been attacked by hawks while flying my R/C planes, very cool to watch…
Did you win?
We tied at par for the course, 54 to 54, which is excellent for night game
Ewww.
Participation trophies for all, I suppose.
Next time, sudden death rounds! Bring a shovel and some lime.
And yes, the planes always win,
in closing, the Parks director loves our club as does the PW director, we keep the park clean and eliminate the riff raff that comes about every now and again. We have new baskets and several nice amenities, all due to the clubs efforts. I feel like Johnny Disc golf club guy, I show up, create a club, then pass it off to the locals. That said, it’s time for me to go home, where ever that may be.

“Team OTA never recovered from that bad call at the half, and came out in the third quarter with lethargic play and bad decision making. Will that last minute desperate clutch play be enough to advance in the tournament, or will this plucky team from the small school known mostly for champion women’s pickleball be sent home early?”

Crack down!
https://philadelphia.cbslocal.com/2022/05/30/philadelphia-police-appear-to-be-cracking-down-on-illegal-atvs-dirt-bikes-on-city-streets/
Jealous.
Ya know, I get the cracking down (apart from my visceral dislike of police actions). What I can’t stand are the smug publicity stunts wherein NYPD and borough pols gleefully destroy 100s of thousands of dollars in machinery with industrial crushers and shredders. Sell those bikes and ATVs at auction and at least raise some funds for your budgets rather than constantly milking the commonweal for more tax monies. I hate the senseless waste.
I didn’t know they were cracking down. It isn’t working.
I don’t think NYPD is doing it currently. I just remember a year or so ago, they had a big media event where they were crushing and shredding dozens and dozens of motorcycles, minibikes, ATVs, etc. and patting one another on the back for spoiling the fun of teenaged hellcats.
I’m torn between condemning such actions and joining in.
I’m getting really, really fucking sick of their “fun” ruining my quality of life.
When you are the one having to live with the noise and chaos, your position is perfectly understandable and reasonable. I just think the confiscate items should be auctioned off, even if said auctions are restricted to those who live outside of city limits.

Good morning, Tulip, DEG, U, Sean, & Stinky!
Reliable Co-Worker is back from vacation today, and I don’t think I left TOO much of a mess for him. (I think I did all the gotta-do’s. I just didn’t get ALL the paperwork filed away. ?) Not a payroll week, so today will just be whatever I can do in advance to prepare for month-end. My boss may also be back from the Not COVID that was plaguing him last week.
Hope none of you are going back to work to find huge piles of undone stuff.
Having a breakfast salad and sorting emails.
Some responses don’t make sense. Water is wet.
What’s in a breakfast salad? It sounds appealing (depending on your answer to the question, of course. Pleasesaybaconpleasesaybaconpleasesaybacon…)
It’s basically a regular salad eaten for breakfast. I’d intended to include crispy bacon, but I ran out of bacon. 🙁
?
Still, salad is tasty, especially in warm weather. I may be out of frozen Atkins meals, so I may have to take my chances at the nearby Tim Horton’s (which had closed early the last time I tried to pick up lunch there. ?)
Your inventory management skills need improvement. Just sayin.
Ever since I had my gallbladder out I have trouble digesting fats, so I’ve had to cut my intake of certain foods. Would you rather I have bacon spoil in the fridge?
*Left out, is that I reduced the purchase rate and quantities of said troublemakers.
Perish (ha!) the thought! Please forgive the possible sacrilege, but have you considered or tried turkey bacon as an alternative? I haven’t had it myself, but turkey sausage patties are pretty tasty.
Food waste sucks.
Don’t ask me about my avocado problems…
On the plus side, I’m good with cheese and tolerant of tallow, so the cheesesteaks I made over the weekend didn’t cause any grief.
But pork… *shakes head* …moderation.

Mornin Glibbies! That was some nice community work there, Bob! We had an executive par 3 stick golf course where I grew up. They would light it up twice weekly for the die-hards and the stoners. How the hell do you play a putt when a huge moth decides to hatch your egg? Some of those things were three-four inches across. Great fun! Glad to hear you are kicking ass! Oh yeah, putting was always slow because of the dew but at least you were able to track the line. Night games were loud!
Good morning Festus. I hope you have a wonderful day.
Thank You, Friend! It’s my last one at current job. New contractor has never even toured the site. Current supervisor believes that the new guys won’t last six months. Whatever. I’m sorta done by now. Things will get pretty dusty tonight.
Quitting time!!! ????
Seems like a situation that could warrant congratulations or condolences… so Huzzah (I hope)! We can always go fight crime on the Rez.
You just think I’m up to no good cuz I’m First Nations!
A little of both. I didn’t want them to lose the contract but at the same time there have been physical “difficulties”. Probably for the best.
Unless your name is Grandma, there is no fighting crime on the Rez. Hawaiian shirts and tropical sunshine are more our play.

I was thinking more like Miami Vice but that works better.
And to think I was kinda expecting this.
That set-up looks amenable to stick golf and the rocks just sort of grow out of the ground every year.
suh’ fam
whats goody
Letting things go and trying for better. That’s goody!
Mornin’, reprobates!
Assembled a new charcoal grill yesterday with the help of the Patzer spawn. Good news: no injuries suffered during assembly, and tasty T-Bone for dinner. Bad news: dropped can of soup on finger while searching for BBQ tools, smashing said finger. Will be minus one fingernail in short order.
Now, let’s see if I can go from champ to chump. Got to live up to my handle.
It’s just after 4 in the morning and the birdies have been hitting on the ladies for about an hour and a half. It’s a special time of year up here in the northern latitudes. Bears are being asshoe, though.
Mornin’, Festy!.
“Bears are being asshoe”
Speaking.of assholes, a yellow jacket keeps buzzing around my front porch. Need to find the nest and call in an exterminator.
Check around the rafters. Wherever you find an egg-sized paper nest, that is a queen. I use spray that lets me stand off some. I’ve killed football sized ones.
American football or the metric one?
It’s coming from under the steps/deck, seriously. I find them every year, after I see them boiling out when I walk in and annoy them.
We get the underground ones sometimes.
I’ve stepped on those before. Ugh.
Thanks. Will investigate (from a safe distance).
Good morning, ‘patzie! (And you, too, Fes. I failed to properly greet you upthread.)
OwOwOwwwww! ? I dropped something similarly heavy and hard from a pantry shelf onto my big toe once. Didn’t lose the nail, but it’s never been the same since.
When I was a kid, I dropped a plate on my big toe. Lost that nail but a new one grew in a bit gnarly. Then as an adult I tripped on a set of stone steps and it felt like I broke the same toe (I hadn’t). Lost the gnarly nail and a new one grew in gnarlier. The rest of my toes are still normal, just that one unlucky one get all beat up twice.

Yup. Too bad that about 35% of our populace falls for that shit. It was just enough for him to grab power and then ally himself with the Socialists. We are well and truly fucked.

We lost power at 6PM ’til 1AM. When I got back on this morning all my machine wanted to do was talk to WebDom,, I thought everyone in the world, ‘cept me, was gone. Or maybe I was gone. Finally I got caught up to the 21st Century and I’m happy to see all are still well. Storm was violent for about 20 minutes of ferocious wind and the buckets of rain. No known damage but I’m set back after working in the garden. I thought I could do it, I was wrong.
Anyway good to see that the time warp has been minimized
You have to log in and then refresh. That’s what Windows requires on my lap top. Web Dom is working on a global fix. Be careful out there, Father.
Fukit.
I went to open a package and ended up stabbing my finger instead. It’s a bit of a bleeder but nothing more than a bandaid’s worth. Worst part – the package is still sealed.
Today is not starting off well.
Should have worn your stab resistant gloves.
Ouch. It can only get better, right?
