That works! Not much danger of going dry again!
Rain early then rain again now. But it mostly stopped a little after 8 am and we got our round in. Walked about 2 miles.

Love the weather
guessers saying
it is to be a
rainy week, then
changing it to
cloudy and mostly
cloudy. It'll
give the ground a
chance to dry out
the mud and spongy
lawn. The warm
temp in the 70's
will surely help
firm up the soil.

I learned something from a golf buddy recently that helps interpret the guessers', err, predictions. He said that the percentage they tell us is simply the chance they'll get it right. Actually, I think that may be correct if they say it's under 50% but if they say it's over 50%, then the chance they get it right is 1 minus the percent they quote. IOW, 50/50 is about as good as they will ever do. Excepting San Diego guessers, of course!

Never thought
the forecasters
would get the
percentage of
snow/rain correct.
Lived in L.A.
before. Their
rainy season is
for two weeks in
the winter. San
Diego must be
close to that
as well.

I think San Diego has about the most consistent temperature of anyplace in the US. When I was last there 20 years ago, they said their average daily temp ranges from 60° to 72°. So pick 66 and you're normally within 6 degrees, normally closer.

San Diego has
the nicest temp
in the nation.
Always read and
heard that from
the forecasters
and those in the
know. Saw one
mosquito in the
five years I lived
in L.A. Also saw
a rattlesnake
in the mtns just
north of L.A. No
need to test if
it was harmless.

I don't think there's more contrast than San Diego vs. L.A. Though these days I have no interest in returning to that state.
Went to TG today, now watching the PGA Championship on delay. Tiger Woods missed the cut and had two hockey sticks on par 4s.

There's a whole million more folks living in and around L.A. than when I lived there in the '80's. The traffic congestion must be unreal as is the dirty air. Have enjoyed this forested rural area for 40 years w/only 2 neighbors a whole ½ mile apart on either side of me. Complete peace and quiet is a daily joy.

Sounds like a great place to live! So much better than LA.
Played 18 this morning. It was in the 80s by the time we were done.

Would say L.A.
is a Great place
to work. Housing
and food is on the
expensive side.
This area is the
place to retire if
one enjoys peace,
quiet, forest, and
the mtns. Thankful
to live here for 40
years. Just what is
wanted.

It might have been great back then but I kinda doubt it's so wonderful now. Between the high taxes, high prices and the awful traffic, that would be enough to drive me away. But the folks who live there have no interest in this area or yours. Whatever!

When I was 20
something a
school pal told
me to drive
around a named
road in the
town. Afterwards
he asked what I
saw. I told him,
"Nothing but
trees, it was
lousy. 10-15
years later I
drove around the
same road. "Nothing
but trees, it was
Great." Then I
moved here and built.

Perspectives change like that. Great that you found your ideal place and have enjoyed it for so long!
Went to TG today with family and friends. It was a lot of fun. I went early and stayed late to get in enough shots. It costs me the same from 9 to 5 weekdays!

If there was a
TG near here I
would enjoy it
often. Last
amusement place
that was visited
saw batting cages
w/FAST pitches.
It was enjoyed
very much. My
daily amusement
was hiking to
summits 10-15 mi
w/4 & 5,000 ft
elevation gain.
In my younger
days.

Instead, you enjoy a very peaceful, laid back place. To have things like TG nearby, you have all the cons of city life near you too.
