I had to go out there today and practice that basket a few times when the wind was not as bad. I think throwing it backhand and low under the tree branch is the best bet for me because I don't have enough power and confidence in my forehand to risk throwing it wide over the river. I parked it close one time in birdie range in ten tries. With some wind though, all bets are off.

I don't think it will get too cold to play this winter; we seemed to have lucked out in the climate casino and the weather has been warmer with less rain and snow. You never know though.

Dog-oh is slightly incontinent when overly excited but doing pretty good for his age. We went past the mailbox on today's walk and that is going a bit farther than what he likes to do when it is raining or colder.

Thank you and have a great night too!
