LMAO Nice! Also dont forget to get out on a golf course if you can, I had the most wonderful game with my father yesterday afternoon. We went out together as a twosome & had nobody in front or behind us to slow us up or rush us.... what a day.

Talking with my father & sharing experiences on a beautiful sunny day on a golf course.

You know what I would have said if it I was drinking the night before...."sorry Dad, I am not feeling that great today" ... SO MANY F-ing wasted days... NO More!

Oh...do you play golf 9 iron? hehe

Golf? Where would you get that idea? Not professionally anyway.

I'm not a big root beer float guy. Separate yes, but together it always seemed like a waste of perfectly good root beer and perfectly good ice cream! I've been knocking down quite a bit of ice cold root beer the past 11 days. Something alcohol-free, cold and in a mug to help reduce those cravings. Whatever works for you 9Iron. Keep it up and enjoy great outdoors this Memorial Day Weekend.

No, my friend - thank God!

Please forgive me my American friends - but that doesn't look all that appetizing. I'm sure it tastes better than it looks...?

Ah, but you see Smudge, you only have a few more minutes of Friday to go where you're at! You're soon on to Saturday, my friend, another one in the books!

And you may take exception to Root Beer Floats, but I must absolutely voice my displeasure with your black pudding.

I think root beer is an American original. A Swede I used to work with tried it and hated it.

Good work 9iron, fridays are tough, I spent friday afternoon at the airport waiting for a delayed flight, it was tough everyone else seemed to be in the bar !!! I rang my sponsor and ended up going for a walk instead. Got home sober and went to a meeting last night, feel so good this morning that i didnt pick up.
The only down side is its pouring rain today and my golf game has been cancelled !!!!Gonna hit the gym instead.
