You did it wrong.
You're supposed to start off with a brand new box of golf balls, and a 12-pack in the cooler. When you hit the last hole, you should only have one ball and one beer left. Those pesky numbers are irrelevant. THAT'S how you win at Golf.

So far - I've stuffed down breakfast, and am soon heading out to the Auto Hobby Shop to take apart a Jeep axle. Try and contain your awe and envy over my upcoming project - removing the 10-inchers, and putting 11" brakes on the Jeep.
I know, I know... I should have local news coverage or something. But I'll be OK - I don't need the publicity.

The first time I don't have to drive home afterward, I'll try your method. Sounds more fun than mine!
I'll continue with the lake balls though, cheaper and they already know where to go...

Now debating if I feel like cooking or if I just want to make something from a box or spaghetti or something else equally unappetizing but easy.
Hoping to take a nap before heading back to work.

Just got all the stuff together so I could put up window screens (ladder, squeegee, pail of soapy water, boom box with Buffett CD) since it hadn't rained yet...and the skies opened up. Complete with a severe thunderstorm warning. Not that I exactly needed the warning, it was fairly obvious by the black sky, thunder and lightning.
Came in here to waste some time instead...and now it's sunny, although still raining. I give up.

My internship making ASP.NET pages to interact with a database.
I think I impressed them today. They gave me a project with 4 parts today and hoped that over 3 months we could get 2 or 3 projects like that done.
I'm all ready halfway done. It's just like my blog software. I think they were happy.
So that's what I did today.

Pretty much sat on me arse today, while getting paid. The Government insists on certain things being done before I can start really working. Since they've already put my on the payroll, I have no choice but to sit around and wait for them to get the rest of their ducks in a row.

Finished the main part of pillow #3 in the 5-pillow project for my nieces' and nephew's Christmas presents, and started on #4. Got an email that the 5th one shipped today. Which means, if all goes well, I should have them all done by the end of next week (I'm working, but it's a slow show and I'll have plenty of time to work on them).
Watched some TV for once...I tend to catch all of the season finales of some really good shows, but having missed the bulk of the season they aren't as meaningful for me.
Watched a KILLER thunderstorm for about 2 1/2 hours. Wish I'd been able to get some lightning pics, it was really cool. Rain so hard at times I couldn't actually see past the eaves of the house.
Edit:
Well, shoot...I was going to go to bed, but the lightning and thunder just started up again. Might be a night to sleep on the front porch...
