Son Wants a New Skiing Helmet

My son recently started snowboarding. All of his friends have really cool looking snow gear, so my son decided that he wants a new Skiing Helmet this year.  He wants it to match the gear that he already owns.  So, we decided to go to the store to see if we could find one that he liked.  We found a couple, but they didn’t have his size or they were just way out of our price range.  We ended up making a compromise.  If he could use part of his money, we would split the cost of the one that he really wanted.  He was all for it and cannot wait to go snowboarding with his friends this weekend.

I Know too Much to Pay

I haven’t always been really into things that I would normally consider to be boring topics. However, I do a lot of studying because of my work, so I have a lot of trivia floating around and issues that I know more about than I did before. For example, if you want the best car insurance, I have a pretty extensive knowledge base to give recommendations from. I would never think of just taking a policy at face value without picking apart all the available discounts and such. Frankly, I wouldn’t otherwise care, but it’s part of my job, so I’m more aware.

Great Catch

My buddy decided that we should take his boat out and try to go fishing on a day when we should have stayed at home.  Finally, I gave in and we loaded up and headed out to the lake, fishing rods, bait and the boat. Once we got out there the weather started clearing up and it turned out to be a great day. One of the neatest things that happened was he let me use his Sport Sunglasses for going out with him. I could not believe how good we could see in the water as well as all the glare from the water and sun had disappeared, I will soon get my own pair.

So Much More than a Hobby

My fantasy baseball past time has become so much more than a game or hobby. I now take it very seriously. I spend hours and hours researching player statistics, trades and anything to do with each and every baseball player in the league in order to have the best team assembled. My wife seems to think I am obsessed and I should act my age but little does she know that all of my friends and work colleagues who are all my age are just as determined as I am to have the best team. We love the game of baseball and love our fantasy teams even more.

Drive it further off the tee

If you are looking to add yards to your drive then one of the best things you can do is increase the extension in your backswing.  This encourages the shoulders to start turning as soon as possible in the swing which will lead to a bigger shoulder turn.

Rotational power from your shoulders and core is what generates the club head speed at impact so it is important that you take time make sure that you are coiling yourself up in the backswing.  For more golf driving tips read a book called the 5 keys to distance by Eric Jones.
