That sunflower sure does look nice, Ron. About 'coons. . . I hauled one off yesterday to the LBJ Nat'l Grasslands to get him out of our garden. He's been coming at night and raiding our cantaloupe patch. He's ruined probably a dozen cantaloupes, maybe more. At first, I tried using cantaloupe as bait, but that didn't work. Next, I put an ear of corn in the trap; same result. Finally, my wife sprinkled catfish food outside and into the trap. She also put an empty cat food can in there. That was just too much temptation. He went in to snack and we got him.:thumbsup: He was a big ol' 'coon and really fussed at me as I picked up the trap. When I opened the door at the Grasslands, he shot out of there like lightnin'. The Grasslands is about 5 miles from me, so I hope he doesn't find his way back. They have lots of woods there and a 5 acre lake/pond, so he has everything he needs to survive except a melon patch full of sweet cantaloupes.
) We roll into Cloudcroft at 6:30am and it's 48*!! of course the elevation is 9,000 ft.:laughing: I also noticed Bird hasnt mowed my yard, so I guess I will get that done early as possible.
When you pay your greens fees, they give you 1-foot square of Astroturf to put under your ball for fairway shots. Once you make it to the green, you'll notice right away that they are very slow because they can't cut them as short as normal greens. As you go along the last few holes, if you listen closely, you can hear the Cubans over the mountain chanting over and over, "Yankee, go home!" The ridge of the mountain range has a road where you can see tanks patrolling. One group from my ship went to T-off and found a big viper of some sort was wrapped around the the T-marker. They decided to take a few yards off that hole and T-off at the lady's T's.:laughing: Oh yes, they have golf carts to rent, but don't expect them to climb any hills without being pushed. So, when you rent them, you need a driver and a pusher.:confused2:
