Gracie and Me: Covid-19 #53

     If it can get a kid to like vegetables, maybe it can get me to like fish, Gracie is the noisiest golfing dog in the world and today's Word of the Day comes from an author, who according to Wikipedia, had terrible plumbing and drainage issues at Doughty Street.

Golfing with Gracie/Scurry County Golf Course, Snyder Texas

     Teresa and I snuck out today for a quick nine at The Scurry County Golf Course http://www.golftexas.com/golf-courses/north-west/synder/synder-country-club.htm. Please, check out the link because it's really a well maintained and pretty tough course for the bad to medium okay golfer.

#5/Par 3, 145 yds/Scurry County Golf Course

     As for Gracie, I pretty sure that she couldn't make any more noise. It might have been because I was playing badly as usual, but seemed she shook, snorted and swam before or during every shot. This water hole that she's enjoying is on hole #5, Par-3 & playing 145 yards today. Gracie rolled in the puddle in my pre-shot and then shook during my back swing. I could be really upset about my seven iron that flew straight, but landed 15-yards short, but I was just happy it flew straight.

Magic Rub????

     Our grandson Carson is liking vegetables. Mom says it's the Traeger's rub. So, I figured if something as easy as a rub can get a 12-year old to like his vegetables then maybe it can get me to enjoy fish.... Maybe.
     We got a couple versions today. For some reason, one rub has less than one carb, but the other has more than 50 carbs (grams by the way.) There are two pitiful elements in that previous sentence. First, what's a gram of carbs and second, it's kinda pitiful that I've become a food label reading freak. But at least I found something to do in the C-19.

     The Word of the Day: Propitiating. It means; To appease, to gain or regain the goodwill. Sentence Ex: "She showed every possible desire to conciliate him, and there was an air of humble propitiation in all she did, such as I have seen pervade the bearing of a child towards a hard master." Charles Dickens.
     Geez, I need help with that whole sentence.😂

     Diet Update: Gonna smoke a whole bunch of fish using our new rubs. As a test, I plan to use some good old fashioned Old Bay with lemon as our barometer of flavor.
     Gracie Update: See above.
