Post by Eric Kevorkian »

Well....with all this snow we're getting I figured i'd post something that should make some people smile.

We pick up 71 minutes of daylight in the month of February! 8-)

Yes...but naturally raises the question of whether the putt counts if the disc is resting on the snow under the chains but not within the basket? :wink:

Or resting both on the rim and the snow..........does it count if more than 50% of the disc is "in the cylinder"?

That's a 1979 Mach II in the above pic. I also have a single-chain 1976 Mach I, and an even earlier Dometop in my backyard putting course. See...

When Mach I's came out you were lucky to be able to THROW 259 feet!

Unless you were DJ, of course! :wink:

All dogs go to heaven, so can there even be a "bad puppy"?

Karl

Ps: I contend it's always the puppy's owners fault :x !
