What are the top 5 best story lines that could come out of today? My thoughts: 1) Justin Rose comes back and wins, getting his long coveted green jacket. 2) Scottie shoots 64, goes 129 on the weekend and wins. 3) Cam Young, once much maligned, closes it out, and becomes known as Clutch Cam. 4) Rory wins back-to-back green jackets. 5) Patrick Reed storms back to win and Rory has to put the green jacket on Reed. Am I missing any?

The teachers jumped up on stage for a couple songs…. Escape!

@RobVolatile @yonann Hahaha. People on this original post are like .. “take it to the dms dude.”

@Breadfaan @yonann In fairness, I’m not trying to gain followers or really care about social media in THAT way. I use it for news and stuff I’m interested in or get sucked into. So I’m sure I post things that make people rightfully think I’m an idiot. That’s only fair my man. lol.

Kevin O'Leary says $5 million liquid in t-bills is when you know you've actually made it. "the hardest thing is to make the first million, when you make it put it in t-bills, two to three million is actually quite easy once you figure it out, but where people get undisciplined is buying shit they don't need, your mandate is $5 million liquid in t-bills, liquidity with wealth is actually a superpower, most people who think they're wealthy couldn't raise a million dollars by 2pm if they tried"

@RobVolatile @yonann Fair enough. Like your mind powered universe theory. :-)

@RobVolatile @yonann Heh. Nah, that’s just mid wit jealousy talking.

@Breadfaan @yonann I don’t know man…I get told I’m an idiot on X pretty much daily. Lol.

@RobVolatile @yonann Need a 5 year plan here, Rob. I’ll call you. :-)

He is 100% correct. Most people don’t understand liquidity and the power it holds. Net worth is subjective at best and in most cases it isn’t liquid. $5M Liquidity: Post tax dollars (which means you would have had to made about $8.5M with 0 spend to get there). $5M in TBills or short term bonds = close to 250k net per year. And they are tax free at maturity. Simple: liquidity is the amount of money you can move with a phone call. The engine of true wealth.

@Hoodbilly_Rolla Yes! But man if I wait another day its going to be brutal.

I could mow the grass today, but why do today what I can put off until tomorrow🤔🤣

@RobVolatile @ochocinco Swap Tribute Suicide Solution for Hotel California and I believe we have it.

@ochocinco Nice. I’ll take: Eruption Hotel California Little wing

My top 3 guitar solos ever: 1. While my guitar gently weeps (Prince) 2. Comfortably Numb 3. Free Bird

@Kwsw123 @jplayrisson @LouStagner Heh. Clearly you missed the, “we’re past the well reasoned part.” You roll back morons just don’t learn.

@jplayrisson @Breadfaan @LouStagner Ad hominem is always a sign of a solid argument.

The "imagination and creativity" argument doesn't hold up. Fred Ridley says golf used to be a game of "imagination, creativity, and variety." What does that actually mean? That players used to curve the ball more? That they hit more creative shots? Here's the problem... if you roll the ball back, elite players aren't going to suddenly start shaping the ball more. They'll still optimize for the lowest score possible. That's what they do. That's what you would do if you were playing for tens of millions of dollars. Curving the ball costs distance. Costing yourself distance will tend to cost you money. Players know this. They have launch monitors and decades of strokes gained research telling them exactly what works. Rolling the ball back doesn't change that math. They'll still hit the shot that gives them the best chance to score. And here's something most people don't realize, distance was actually MORE valuable per yard in the 1980s than it is today. The USGA's own research found that the scoring value of an extra yard of driving distance was at its highest in 1983-85 and declined over the next 30 years. Players weren't hitting more creative shots in the 1980s because the game rewarded creativity. They were optimizing with the tools and knowledge they had back then. The tools and knowledge they had back then were rudimentary by today's standards. We have MUCH better tools (trackman, etc..) and better knowledge today. Our knowledge and understanding have evolved. You want players to curve the ball more? Rolling back the ball won't do it. Plant more trees. Design holes that demand it. Create situations where the optimizer says, "the best play here is a draw with driver around that tree line." The irony is that many in the rollback crowd who want more "shot shaping" also seem to be in the "chop down all the trees" crowd. You can't have both.

@the_bassplayer Something we share. Someday we should meet up and finally make that plan to rule the world. Heh. Though the reality...we’d both probably just nod, go back to our respective corners, and quietly execute our own separate versions of it for the next decade. :-)

@elonmusk Put another way: a thing is worth whatever someone is willing to pay for it.

I keep an acoustic in my family room for evening couch noodling. For the past month I’ve had a set of strings sitting next to the stand. Every time I pick up that old Martin I say to myself… “ughh these strings are so cooked.” And then pick it up and play it without changing them. Tonight. Tonight I will change those strings.

Which guitar are YOU playing tonight?

@RobVolatile @rocknrollofall Right. Pineda saved Journey…by imitating Perry.

@rocknrollofall Steve Perry is the second best singer in rock history. This other dude is a great karaoke singer.

They say Steve Perry made Journey while Arnel Pineda saved Journey. In this video, they are going head to head performing 'Don't Stop Believin' What's your choice?

@themetalghost 100% absolutely yes.

Should I get my 89 Hamer Californian refretted? Yes? No?

@the_bassplayer The music that defined the 80’s and me personally for a lifetime. A crunchy awesome riff and a proper solo. Love it!

I wrote this and originally recorded it in 1989. Here is my remastered version. It is streaming on all streaming services now!!! Check it out music.youtube.com/watch?v=yHmRwW…

@the_bassplayer @Ramedog61 @ScottDorn628511 @guitarcenter Yep and now to play anything decent you get the eye roll when you ask to have them unlocked.

@Ramedog61 @ScottDorn628511 @guitarcenter Same. I know what I want and I buy it.

Walked in the Guitar Sanctuary in McKinney Texas and bought a new $3800 bass. They were helpful from the minute I walked. I didn't plan on buying anything when I got there. Contrast that to @guitarcenter in Plano Texas. I walked in today looking to buy the 75th anniversary @Fender PBass There were 5 employees visible in the main room doing nothing but staring at each other. I looked around for nearly 30 min and not one of them spoke to me. So, I walked out and they missed an easy sale. This is the typical behavior every time I stop in there. I will not be back. Guitar Center really should address the situation.

@the_bassplayer And so it begins…usually all the way until the roses bloom in late June.

@nikutaberuru Yes! I have a cherished Charvel 88. Wonderful things came out of Japan (and still do!).

親愛なるアメリカ兄貴たち 日本ではアメリカ製の楽器が 熱狂的に愛されています。 アメリカには日本製の楽器を 愛している人達はいるでしょうか？

@symeew13 Tell you what it is? Sure. Explain it? No.

Can anyone explain this to me in less than 10 words...
