Tiger on Top

With his recent victory in the 2013 Arnold Palmer Invitational, Tiger Woods has resumed his place as the Number 1 Ranked Professional Golfer in the world.
~
I for one, am pretty happy for him.
~
Yes, he cheated on his wife, having sex with any gorgeous white woman that came his way.
~
Yes, he isn't a "give back to the Hood" ethnic role model trying to inspire other minorities to greatness.
~
Yes, he seems a bit too self absorbed and stiff, rather than giving himself shamelessly to an adoring public.
~
Peeps, maybe  I'm flawed as I'm sure you know, but I don't give a rat's ass about any of that Tiger stuff.  All I care about is the uncanny closeness to perfection that he has attained by hitting a dimpled ball around a manicured landscape.

Truth be told, if Lindsay Vonn made a run at me, I can't guarantee how I'd score on the fidelity scale.  I'd like to say that my life bond with Joanne would remain unscathed, but Vonn would be a hell of a challenge. 

But that wouldn't effect the thousands of you hapless Peeps who read this unsavory blog daily...... would it????
~
So that's why I like Woods.   Off the course, he's just an asshole like me and you.  But on the Golf links... he's something extraordinary that we are priviledged to observe.

.... Just like this Blog.

The Vikings

I've become a fan of The Vikings series currently being aired on the History Channel.

The historical context and acting is interesting, and the wooden long ships are the balls.

Contrary to popular opinion, the Vikings did not wear helmets with horns sticking out of them.

Spring Projects

Spring is here.  I don't care about the temperature, I'm done with winter and the cold weather as well.  And I've also rolled out my list of spring projects, few of which I can afford nor have the time to accomplish.
~
Unfortunately, most of the stuff has to do with maintenance and remodeling, as well as getting the boats up to par.  The Aquaponics project is as the end of the list, and the Marblehead Gunning Dory can't even fit, so there is no real sex appeal.
~
But if I can get in a good push, maybe those will see some life before summer is over.

Dory Power Alternative

 Torqeedo Electric Outboard motors.

This might be the way to go with the Marblehead Gunning Dory.  They have a solar charge option and are equipped with GPS which measures the distance that you can cover with the remaining charge.
