Final Frontier

Staci and I are on a great adventure of the final frontier... Free TV. I pay for internet, mostly so I can keep you people satisfied with my thrice monthly updates. I may have to go to a paid subscription basis...

Anyway, we got a HDTV approximately 6 months ago and I love it, but it really leaves a sour low definition taste in my mouth when I watched Dish Network in SD. All you need, however to get HDTV is plug in some old fashioned rabbit ears in the back of that baby and we're live! I get the local networks pretty well, as long as no one walks up or down the stairs.

I was ready to drop TV for a while, but the wife wasn't. She enjoyed the DVR, probably more than I did. We made a compromise as best as I could, which was give it up for 2 months and then if we wanted to go back at that time we would, no questions asked. This was made possible when our receiver went out. :)

So since the loss of transmission I've picked up a hobby. I've played disc golf more days than I haven't. There are 3 courses in the area.

Morse and Sahm have a variety of holes and pars, 3,4,5. Dylan is all about the long ball baby. They are all "par 3" and none is shy of 300 feet. The longest are in the mid to upper 400 foot range.

I've spent in the neighborhood of $50 out of pocket for discs and if I'd spent the same TIME on a ball golf course it would probably be in the neighborhood of 200-300 in greens fees.

It's a good game, but you need a strong elbow, so we'll see how long that lasts.

I may post more about this sport and these courses, but I know none of you are interested.

Long story short I'm saving $50/month having a lot more fun, being active, and losing blog readers.
