Bob.........when were you thinking about doing this? If it's possible to find a weekend when there isn't a major (or minor)event happening I'd love to come up and help out.

Bob

[Ol' Bob]

It's weather, not day-of-the-week dependent. I'm probably going to just have to pick at it myself. It doesn't look like it's going to work out my way.

[zippyboy]

Damnit, Bob. There are people willing to help, all you have to do is post up a date. We (the people willing to volunteer) will all do our best to make it work. If it doesn't, and nobody shows up, that's the worst case scenario. But if you don't post up a date for us, you'll guarantee that the worst case will happen. Just give us a day or two notice, and we'll see what we can do.

Besides, we (the Nation) are working on a small incentive opportunity for the peoples that are willing to make the drive to help you out. Details will follow - if Bob still wants our help. :shocked:

I wish I could have been ready to go last weekend when it was mob scene here. I was about a day late getting ready. The weather guessers really blew it today, but even then, the inn is doing an elder hostel bit and the chipper screaming wouldn't have been appreciated. I need a few people when the ground is dry enough to get around the course with the tractor. granted, there are some things that could be done strictly foot work and grunt (such as dragging the apple tree brush from the second tee to the canyon).

As it is, I can't guess the weather any better that the pros. I just hope to get to it before the grass grows up through the branches. I already took care of the 12th fairway. I got some unasked for help there that may have made my job harder, though the intentions were good. What I wanted to happen was the branches to be dragged to the chipper, not into rats' nests for me to sort out to feed the chipper. Three or four people would serve quite well and be enough to knock most of it out in just a few hours. One person doing it means the chipper runs at about 20% efficiency and 400% fuel consumption.

Thanks for the attention. I hope it works out.

Just talked to my wife and since next Sunday is Mothers Day I can't come then but will be there on Saturday. I'd like to be there around 9:00, work for a few hours and get in a round of golf after. Who's with me? Long term forecast looks good. But then the meteorologists guess is as good as 'ol Bobs. :whistler:

Bob

[zippyboy]

I may not be able to stay for the golf round, but I would be more than willing to head out there and help. Saturday rules out Dan and Bishop, but I might be able to get Jason Hanson to help us. Keep us updated, Bob...

[Ol' Bob]

Thanks, guys.
Another half day without rain and I got more firewooding done. Now I'm in out of the drip.
Thanx for the Mom'sDay reminder.

["Over the Hill" Bob]

I got the word that Darr, Adams, and Green will be joining us. :yay:Heck who else wants to go play at (or in)the mud?

Bob

[Ol' Bob]

I'm spozed ta be mowin' today. http://www.publicadvocate.com/phpBB3//styles/prosilver/imageset/raining.gif

Bob

Do you have room for one more?

["Over the Hill" Bob]

Do you have room for one more? Yep, give me a call.

Bob

[zippyboy]

Awesome! If we get an early enough jump on the work, I might actually get to play a round there with you guys before I have to leave...

So it looks like myself, Mitch, Jason, Darr, Adams, Green, and Jevon so far. I think we might be able to kick some mud off the Mud. :yay:

Bob, prioritize your needs and we'll tackle what we can.

Get me that and I'll hire the course work out and we'll all play golf.

[Ol' Bob]

Twice, I've been ready to get outside and do something and twice, it's gone from blue skies to deluge. We've had over four inches of rain in the last couple days and everything is soaked again. Durn.

I THINK we are almost out the wet stuff for few days. I'm picking Jevon up at 7:00 Saturday morning and we should be there by 9:00. Lets hope for warm, dry weather.

Bob

[Ol' Bob]

I mowed for a few hours this afternoon. Quite wet out there. Most of the course is in decent shape for play. I'll finish this week's mow tomorrow and be ready in case the ground gets dry enough to do some of that chipping.

[Darr]

Well, I mowed what I could in the year's first pass. I could really use a crew to show up soon to help me finish up getting the snowed-down and blown-down limbs chipped up and/or out of the way. I'm sorry but it will mean using a not raining daytime to not golf the whole time. I can offer a camp site and, if you're really good, maybe some IPA.

Good fitting leather gloves and long sleeves would be needed.
Had a great time at the Mud today with "Over the Hill" Bob, Ol' Bob, Lonell, Mitch, Corey, Jevon, and new friends Bill, John, and Jay.
First we chipped up downed limbs and cleaned up a few fairways. Followed up by some GRUBBIN' dogs cooked up by OTH Bob and some killer Vortex IPA served up by the UGLIEST bar maid you've ever seen Ol' Bob!
Mitch had to head to the derby :rockon::rockon: so we played in one big group of doubles. We only made 15 holes before most of the group had to split, I think Jevon had to make a Trekkie convention :whistler:

Lonell/Darr -4
Jevon/Corey -3
Bill/Jay +2
B squared (the two Bob's) +1
John (CALI) +5

Bob Lonell and I Trekked :laughing: on and played eight more holes finishing out the 24 hole layout

Darr -2
Lonell +3
Bob +5

The course is looking great, get out there and stay the weekend. The rooms are killer! I'll definitely be headed out later this year :rockon::rockon:

Thanks for the hospitality Bob! We had a great time and Lonell couldn't stop talking about the course on the way home. Here is the proof uh, pics. :laughing: thumbnailed for your 56k pleasure

The last pic is of the gap that P Greene smashed a putt through it was on the MONEY! Through that gap from about 50 feet! :bowing:

So, this is what pure envy feels like. I wish I would have been there.
I will be putting together a couples Mud weekend event ASAP this year. looking for the right timing.
Someone really should do a Mud weekend campout as well. NON-PDGA so we can party the whole time.

I would also like to thank everyone that came out to help with a little course cleanup at the Mud. Bob Cabal, Jevon, John Wilson, Pat (of course), Jay Filcman, Bill Ganier, Lonell, and Bishop showed up, along with myself, and between us and Bob, we got about a days worth of work taken care of in less than three hours! Not to mention, we saved Bob about 3/4 a tank of fuel in the process.'

For making the journey to help out, everyone was offered first crack at the new Lucky Mud bag tags. Jevon already threw his cash down, and everyone else there said they were interested. See the Lucky Mud bag tag thread for additional information.

Thanks again, guys!

[Ol' Bob]

Thanx, everyone, for the help.

The sun just burned the fog off so I'll headed outside soon. Mom's day might keep folks away today. Hand Mom a disc.

[Trozzle!!!]

Be careful starting a new tag thing. apparently some people out there dont like the idea :biggrin2::biggrin2::laughing::laughing:

[zippyboy]

Troy, if somebody has a problem with our attempt to raise money for the Lucky Mud, I would be more than willing to speak with them face-to-face.

[Trozzle!!!]

i know how you feel. I was just stirring the pot a bit I guess. I think I pissed off a lot of people on the other thread :)

[jevon]

I had a lot of fun out there. The Mud is an awesome course. It was nice actually playing decent too! I lost a disc somewhere. Let me finish my coffee and see if I can remember where it was at.

["Over the Hill" Bob]

I'll echo the Thank You's to all that showed up. We had a great group out there and got some work done, shared some food and suds, and had a blast playing an awsome course. After we broke off our group got to hole 16 throwing out of the woods and I missed an Ace by virtually this much (-). From the lie of my disc I'd say it came in just missing chain and top ring of basket. Dang!

Glad we could help you out Bob! And thanks to Darr for being our photographer.

Bob

[Ol' Bob]

After getting my FLX Buzzz flipped in that west wind, I too almost nailed 16 with my FLX Surge. It was a good rush, anyway.

Vote early and often too keep Fletch from changing the few holes where us geezers have ace opportunities.

[BlarneyStoner]

It was nice to meet all of you. Good to finally place some faces with the names. Sorry we didn’t get there in time to help more, though as deliriously sleep deprived as we were when we arrived, I don’t know how helpful we would have been.

Ol’Bob: thanks for the good times (and that IPA… a tasty meal… even when watered down;) Hope you enjoyed the clams.

OTH Bob: Thanks for lunch. Those were some serious dogs.

Mitch: We’re down for the bag tags… maybe we can meet up for a round at Trojan in the next few weeks and pay up. Trojan and Hagg are the two courses around us that we haven’t played, and we’ve been meaning to for awhile.

Darr: I need to hit you up for one of those glow T-Bird's.

[Ol' Bob]

Heh heh, it was good to come out a few clams ahead on the deal. I got 'em cleaned and distributed yesterday. (Are cleaned clams the same thing as laundered money?)

A neighbor donated a nice bench top to go to the "D" hole yesterday. I'll get some legs on it soon and pack it up there.

Sorry we couldn't spare more... if the limits were still what they were in your day, we'd all have feasted.

[Ol' Bob]

Forty eight was the limit the first time I dug razors when I was ten.

My first year at sea in the navy, sea-stores cigarettes were a nickle a pack and mixed drinks were a nickle in the Petty Officer's Club in Yokosuka, Japan from five to seven (happy hour).

Yeah, I'm old. What of it?

Bob, do you remember Necco's, those wax pop bottles filled with juice, and Eddie Haskel?

Bob

Oh come on now. Even I remember those things. Of course, the latter was reruns and the former were probably sitting on the shelf since the '50s.

[Ol' Bob]

I haven't seen the wax pop bottles since I was a kid, but aren't Neccos still out there somewhere? I always liked the black Necco Wafers.

Ward, don't you think you a little hard on the beaver last night?
