Golf: Battlement Mesa Golf Course

While in Colorado I had the chance to play at a golf course called Battlement Mesa Golf Course in Parachute, CO. It was a fairly challenging course due to the break on the greens. I have included some pictures below of the course.

Golf: 18 Holes at Highland Springs

Last Saturday a group of 6 guys and girls from work went to Highland Springs Country Club just outside of Springfield to hit the links. We played a three man scramble through light showers all day. The outing was fun and relaxing. It was exceptional to play course that had some challenging holes with lots of elevation changes. I didn't play particularly well, but drove the ball with accuracy.

St. Louis Pictures... Finally!

We decided to take off for St. Louis over the fourth of July holiday weekend. We had a lot of fun taking Kadyn to do and see many things including; The City Museum, World Aquarium, The Arch, The Butterfly Garden, Hard Rock Cafe, Union Station, The St. Louis Zoo, and more!

Cover Songs: Self - "Back In Black"

I found this on YouTube.com recently and had to share. Darci thought that it was Jack White from the White Stripes, but it is not. It is Matt Mahaffey from the group Self.

There are three or four albums available for free download!

It's Been A Long Week

We'll... I decided to get inspired this week and work around the house. I power-washed the siding on the house, the driveway, the fence, the deck and all of the landscaping timbers. I spent at least 2-3 hours a night from Sunday-Thursday. Every night I worked until dark and was always soaked head to toe with water and grime.

Then on Friday I decided to look at Craigslist.org and found a guy selling some patio stones for dirt cheap. So... I decided to add to my workload and made three trips with the van to pick up about 150 18"x6" patio stones. They are now resting beside the house until it cools down later this summer.

Golf: 18 Holes at Payne Stewart

I played 18 holes Wednesday afternoon out at the Bill & Payne Stewart Golf Course with a couple of friends, Phil and Chris. I drove the ball really well throughout the day, but struggled around the greens.

Drumcorps - Grist
(Cock Rock Disco 2007)

I recently found this group on eMusic.com while I was browsing around. The CD was listed under electronic, but it is brooootal. Just imagine your favorite post-hardcore grind metal band remixed drum and bass style by the crew from Drumline. Yep, that pretty much sums it up. It is a little abrasive at times, yet still an interesting listen.

One Day As A Lion - One Day As A Lion EP
(Anti / Epitaph 2008)

Zach De La Rocha and Jon Theodore, better known as the mouth piece of Rage Against The Machine and the drummer of The Mars Volta, return with a five song EP under the name One Day As A Lion. The EP is driven by distorted keyboards, bass heavy drum grooves and the same ol' politics you would expect from Zach. http://www.myspace.com/onedayasalion

Golf: Nine Holes at Payne Stewart

I went out yesterday and played 9 holes at Payne Stewart in Springfield. I played the back nine in under an hour shooting two over for the afternoon. Plenty of pars were had with one birdie on hole 17.

Back from the Dead

Sounds like a B grade horror flick from the late 70's, but It's my return to the blog-o-sphere.

Here's the quick update...

• Work has been going very well, despite the volatility in the market.
• We have traveled quite a bit recently: St. Louis, Wichita, Kansas City, Branson, etc.
• My golf game has been coming back, the more I play. I even had an eagle a few weeks back on Hole #1 at Payne Stewart in Springfield, MO.
• We are expecting a Girl!
• Darci and I celebrated our 8th anniversary on Monday (July 21st)
