So I get these golf clubs. From dicks sporting goods. Tommy armour. Turns out they are made in china and the grips were just thrown on. Not lined up with the club they way one would expect. So I’ll clean up the grips and rotate the shafts and re-epoxy them aligned properly. I got them for a fraction of the price. But still for this kind of money one should expect good craftsmanship.

Hmmmm. Craftsmanship. China. Not really two words that go together. Your beautiful Forged Tommy Armour’s are likely cast crap. Golf is a game of pride and honour. Toss that crap out and start over. You don’t want things to start falling apart on you once 2022 arrives.

Naw. They’ll be fine. Specially since I’m only a weekend duffer anyways.

In that case the grips should be fine as is.

It’s the ocd I have.
I actually did a club today. Really wasn’t much to it. Heat the hosel (heat gun). Give the club a twist. The head spins right off. Sand. A quick batch of glass bead an epoxy resin reassemble and voila!! I could argue it’s physically easier than regripping.

Good on you. Clearly you don’t have cement hands. So now I’m baffled as to the duffer handicap. We’ll get that down come 2022!

Holidays came and went. I start my day shift Monday.

I just saw this: MSN

Three of the top ten resale value autos are from Kia, just not the Stinger.

 

[rocket23]

But I got a lot of nibbles when I skimmed the trade in waters.

Here's a little weird mystery (I hate things like this that have no answer).

I drove my car Wednesday afternoon, taking my wife around on a few errands: I never left the car until we got home. I saw nothing as I got out. This afternoon we went hiking. As I swung the door open and my left leg out, there was this little flash of white down in the space between the seat and the door sill. I picked it up. And I have, no, idea, where, it, came, from.

My car has been locked since Wednesday.

The only thing I cannot positively verify is that it hasn't been sitting there for who knows how long. But seriously, what would make it move today so that I saw it?

I have been nowhere near a body shop in years: I've vacuumed my interior in the last few months: I drive daily or every second day: so it is inconceivable to me that it could have been sitting there and me not see it.

I've not had anyone but my wife in my car since 30 October: my last service was 2 December when I had my tires/wheels changed for winter.

The cop who pulled us over last Sunday spoke through my wife's window and never came up to mine.

And what is that cryptic scribble "10116"?

 

[rocket23]

I'm stumped...could of been in the breeze at one point...but what are the odds....

 

[MerlintheMad]

Yeah, a little card whirling in the breeze as I drive up to park, and opening my door sucked it in. Why not. I'm not likely to ever know. I've thought of showing it to the tire and wheel guys, but that's such a far-fetched thing this late in the game (over a month later) that I feel silly even contemplating it.

I dunno I'd at least bring it in and ask if anyone seen a slip like it.........prolly fell out of a service techs pocket......and the number was a hastily written part number or date.

 

[rocket23]

pretty cold here recently....filled up the tank but that was about it....too cold for anything else
