Playing more golf and doing better!

October 6th, 2005

I decided to drive the Bumblebee to work today. It was fun to get out there and drive it around. I had to get up early because Josh, Jesse, and I were going golfing. We teed off at seven o’clock am. I shot really poorly on my first hole. But I picked up my game a little bit after the first hole and ended up with a fifty-seven for the day. Six strokes better than last week. On the eighth hole I miss-hit the ball, but it turned out to be a great location. I was able to get on the green on my second shot leaving a thirty foot putt. I missed the cup by no more than an inch. Then I got it in for par. But I was very close to a birdie on that hole.

On the fifth hole I always end up in the rough on a steep hill to the right of the fairway. I did that again, but this time I hit the ball and it went higher up the hill. My next hit put it even higher up the hill. Actually it was on top of the hill. I could look down and see the fairway for the fifth and sixth holes. Josh and Jesse were down below. Way down below. They yell up “How is the air up there?” I was looking down on the green. I pulled out my seven iron and hit a good ball. It landed ten feet from the cup. Jesse said that was an ESPN top-ten play of the day.

We got a little closer to figuring out the problem with the Dexma returns. A component was changed, but the page that accesses it was not changed. This causes a problem. I fixed it then found out the guy who actually made the changes to the component also made changes to the page that accesses it, but never checked them in. So he checked in his page and now we need to wait until the next build comes out to see if it will work.

When I got done working I went to the fire station. We had a map test. Then the guys on Rescue had to go to station one. When we were down there replacing a bulb in the right-blinker, I got a different pair of gloves. I also got my helmet light fixed.

We met up with the engine crew at Starbucks. Then we went to Martin Stadium where a guy on our crew had an intramural soccer playoff game. We were cheering him on and making fun of him at the same time. It was fun to be out there. But the game did not start until ten o’clock pm. So we did not get back to the station until eleven.
