Haha just a folded push cart. Haven't swung a club yet this year - gotta at least hit the range down the street
NJ is so hard to pick up the sport now, the wait to do a round takes almost a day at the public courses, cheap country clubs start with 5k fees, all driving ranges are now developments and people think Top Golf is "fun". @pooriggy how has the industry been for the past 2-3 years here in NJ?

Golf rounds are somewhat flat. In good time$ rounds go up.
Wknds are packed on golf courses because everyone is off from work and wants to play, it slows up around 1pm. It's tough to get an early tee time and the course gets backed up from the hacks. We have a 9 hole deal off the back 9 from 6am to about 7am, which gets you in and out in a reasonable time.

The best thing to do is play during the week, it's cheaper and you have a better shot at the tee time you want.

Lots of clamps for one drawer! Decided to skip the brads because with my luck I will split the wood. There's plenty of glue in the joints plus hot glue on the bottom so it should be a pretty solid drawer. Certainly stronger than the existing particle board drawer with non-glued stapled joints.

today was new faucet day since lowes was having a sale, new upstairs bathroom faucet since the old one was dripping and was cheap unservicable crap, and the kitchen faucet which would slowly turn itself on under the weight of the side mounted lever.

two new Delta faucets (kitchen is touch sense to keep the wife happy) and 4 new 1/4 turn shutoffs, had to actually cut the shutoffs off in the bathroom since they were so badly corroded they wouldnt close or unthread from the existing pipe . . . . an afternoon (well???) spent for sure.

How badly are the new ones leaking today?

@rick81721 the day he was kicked out of the plumbers union . . . .

True story in our first house in Piscataway I did a real 3 stooges plumbing job in the kitchen. We decided to do some remodeling, involving moving the kitchen sink from a corner to a wall about 5 feet away. Rather than moving the water pipes under the floor in the basement, I just did a bunch of angles, ran them along the wall to get to the new sink. Looked pretty ridiculous.
