I had a fairly solid night's sleep. Although I woke up a few times I got back to sleep fairly quickly afterwards. I was quite surprised when I looked at the clock and saw it was 8-45. It was past breakfast time but I was able to get some anyway and then headed to work.
It was fairly easy to find but all the reserved parking was in use so I had to go up a couple of floors to the unreserved places.
It took a while to get set up but eventually I had a power supply, mouse and monitor and was ready to go. I also got a tour of the new office and met everybody again. Quite a few were away as is usual for this business.
Tony and I had a good discussion and came up with some good ideas for extending the relative curve function to include planning and input data. It didn't take too long before I had that working for the new rock mechanics option. We then headed to lunch at a Thai restaurant. Since the move the nearest restaurants have changed and this one was quite busy. Apparently the one we used to go to, which was always fairly quiet and has now closed.
I worked on upgrading the Surge and swab planning to use the Rock Mechanics tables but was having trouble concentrating and didn't finish it all today. It was still after 5-30 when I left and there were only a handful of people still in the office by then.
I headed to Golfsmith to start researching wedges I am looking at for Dane. The good news was that they were $10 off the internet price, but I had forgotten that tax is added to prices here rather than included in the price as it is in Australia.
From there I headed to the TPC golf course to see what time they stayed open till. I talked to a couple of guys practising on the putting green, despite the drizzle. Apparently the whole course is closed every Monday.
From there, I headed to the library where I borrowed 3 books. I looked at the DVDs but didn't see anything that appealed.
My last stop was Golf Galaxy. They had the wedges at the same price but also the old model another $20 cheaper again, although not the full set he wants. They had some Pro-V1 balls in a box that had been sponsor branded. These were the overruns and only $3 each rather than the standard price of nearly $4. I picked out 4 V1x's.
It was nearly 7-30 by the time I got to the hotel and the complimentary dinner was already finished. Apparently it was chicken nuggets so no great loss. Back into the car again and across the highway to Sport Authority who had no wedges of the required brand.
A bit further down the road I stopped for dinner at Pappadeaux and had 2 lbs of cajun crawfish and the special cocktail based on Barcardi and strawberry liqueur. Crawfish seem to been in season at this time of the year and are only $3-95 per pound.
Still no golf clubs.
