Check out Brit's new weight loss program to loose those dreaded 2 recurrent lbs. She needs to start marketing it and we would get rich.

I got out for a ride this morning and caught a photo of one of the many dog packs here in Alabama. Fortunately for me this pack was young and harmless. The gas station in the back ground is the one that told me not to buy anti-freeze/coolant from them because it was too expensive.



I also go some photos of this sweet house, the pictures say it all. "Report dope to narcs"? What is that all about? "and come to church Sunday" ok buddy see ya there.

I actually ran across another biker on my ride today.(very rare) He was on a time trial bike and he told me he is a triathlete, nice guy, rode with him for about 10 min and got my first draft in months.

Brit and I went to a movie this afternoon called, The sentinal. It was good. If you like the tv show 24 you will like this movie, it has the same actor. This was also my first movie theater movie in months.

I am still on the look out for some new clubs, I am thinking maybe I'll try Taylor Made RAC LT2 irons if I can find a good deal. My friend Todd got a new pair of Callaway Hawk eye irons for $50 (sweet deal) at a garage sell and they hit a lot like the fusions I just sold, made me want my fusions back.

Who says I don't read


Brittney thinks I do not read much. I would have to say that I have smoked her in amount of reading over the past two years. You see the stack of papers I am holding, I have read every single page and that stack is only for 2 or 3 classes for one quarter and that is not even including the text books. A lot of my class mates' vision has progressively been getting worse since starting optometry school, ironic isn't it. Must be all the reading. Not me though, I'm still 20/15 and 20/10 on a good day.

I got out for hike with Brit and Ella after school today and launched a few golf balls with the new R5 driver. Spring in Alabama is pretty sweet.

New on the blog scene is Slyfox, check it out for some great entertainment.

I captured a few sweet pictures of Ella taking air in the living room.

I got out and rode for longer than the usual 45 min to hour after school today. I had two exams at school today so I thought I would reward myself with an hour and half ride. I did my hour and a half climbing loop (lynn's crossing). It has some short steep climbs that I am glad that my Raleigh cross bike has 36-27 gearing. I also think it has one of the only switchbacks in Alabama. I need more longer rides to get my endurance up.

My Taylor Made R5 dual came today, I am excited to get it out on the range.

Infantsee

For anyone out there that has a child under the age of one, there is a great progam called Infantsee that allows you to have your child's eyes examined for free by an eye doctor. Here is a link to the website where you can find a doctor locator. http://infantsee.org check it out, it is a great service that many doctors are providing. Take advantage of it. If vision problems are detected early it is much easier to manage them and preserve or improve sight.

Another 8 to 8 day at school. I had to stay late for a toric contact lens workshop put on by cooper vision. I got a to put a couple of torics (contact lens for someone with astigmatism) on a patient and evaluate how they fit, not overly exciting.

Ella says to Brittney this morning "mommy, can I have roller skates?" Curious George has roller skates. Guess who is getting roller skates tomorrow? Brittney also asked her what she wanted for dinner and she said pizza, they ordered pizza. I say spoiled, Brittney says loved. I guess can't say much Callaway Fusions, golf school, etc.... She must love me too.

Big news. I sold my Callaway fusion irons and made $175. I sold all my good clubs now I am back to square one and on the look out for a good deal. I did buy a Taylor made R5 driver off ebay, hope I like it.

I did get out and ride my bike yesterday in the beautiful spring weather we have been having. I am trying to stay in shape so my dad doesn't drop me too bad when we go ride the alpine loop this August when I am in Utah.

I came home tonight and it looked like someone had dug a grave in my front yard. I think it must be related to the houses going in at the end of my street. They did the same thing to my neighbor on the next street over and hit a water pipe or something that caused water to start flowing out the toilet and flooding their house.

Demo Day

Yesterday I went to a golf demo day at eagle point golf club. It was awesome, I was there for about two hours and hit tons of different clubs on the range all for free. I may stop going to golf courses and just follow the demo days around so I can hit balls for free. Every manufacturer I have ever heard of and more were there with their clubs. As a result my Sasquatch and fusions are up on the ebay auction block.(check them out on the little-climber ebay link) My drivers of choice were a Taylor Made R5 and Callaway fusion ft-3 in that order and as far as irons go, I still can not tell a difference. Here is a cute photo of Ella I took yesterday.

Brittney got called to work with the young women at church so Ella and I will be hanging out a lot on Wednesday nights now. (golf lessons and bike training)

I watched a good movie last night it is called The greatest game ever played. Highly recommended golf flick.

Golf School

Espn golf school was today. I included a photo of the sweet club house of the private country club it was held at. Only first class for me. Ok, so the Turkey Creek driving range is not were the golf school was held, but is it a local driving range that I get a good laugh at every time I drive by. The owner is aunry as heck and the place struggles a little but the balls are cheap.

Espn Golf school was a lot of fun and I learned a thing or two. It was held at a top notch course call the capstone club. The instructors were cool guys and I hit balls all day, what else could I ask for. and the lunch they fed us was awesome, fish and all the fixings. I did not get a hole in one and win the Lexus. It was nerve racking, everyone staring at you as you make the shot, now I know how the tour players feel. I hit a poor shot that ended up pin high about 25 feet right not on the green.

We had severe weather again today. As I was driving home from golf school there was a tractor trailer turned over across all lanes of the interstate and another one off in the ditch. I am going to a golf club demo day tomorrow and hope the weather holds out. I just cant get enough of this golf stuff.
