I thought I was going to do the whole skirting project today and get it out of my way.  The wind fixed me right up.  When I started, the air was calm, it was a wonderfully gentle temperature, and I managed to get all of the skirting hung except the part that goes under the fold-up stairs…that part is going to take a bit of ingenuity on my part since we kind of had it jury-rigged from last year and the jury is hung now.

When the wind hit, I did go out a few times and run stakes into the ground ties in a few spots and insert tubing in the hem of the skirting…but mostly, it’s an unfinished project.  *sniff*

My walking partner couldn’t go today so I’m on my 3rd day of not hitting the desert, tomorrow will be a walk day for sure, either by myself or with her.

My Dr. appointment went fairly well.  I’m not dying anytime soon…or he’s lying to me with a straight face.  But I did find out he’s a poker player…so maybe?  Kinda fun, go visit your Dr. and talk poker stories.

I’m sort of, kind of, strangely, feeling the nudge to go to Bellagio and play poker for a few hours.  What in the hell is that all about and where is it coming from?  No idea.  It just hit me this afternoon that I could finish up my work projects and head in tomorrow and spend five or six hours in Vegas doing ‘the poker thang.’   Wonder if the urge will still be there tomorrow or if it will just fade on out.  That’s the best part of life sometimes, doncha think?  Something strikes your thought, you feel it nudge, if it nudges several more times – just go do it, if not, just let it go.

I’m so damn glad to have my furnace fixed in this rock n roll castle.  The last few mornings have sent me shivering to turn it on.  I hate wind and cold.  Talked to my bro Kenny recently and they have snow and it was 23 degrees and supposed to get colder.  I was like, “FUCK!  You’re crazy for living there!”  He laughed, but I think he was sloshed was just being goofy.

We started talking about the rabbits and their healthy appetites for all the green stuff out here.  He told me to load up and start shooting.  It was too funny for words.  The whole conversation kept coming back to shooting those rabbits.  I told him I had put down blood meal around the plants.  He replied, “Awwww, Lin, poisoning is humane, just shoot’em.”

Then I had to explain what blood meal was.  Come to think of it, I think he was more than sloshed.  He sounded way too happy.

I’m praying the United States Kings and Queens get their head out of their ass and dump the UIGEA and allow us play poker online.  PartyPoker has one I’d like to being playing in (I used to play Part all the time before the UIGEA), not to mention a few others like the TonyG Sunday Bike Ride.  But so far, I’m pretty much away from the game completely.  Too busy.  I got a ping from JK the other day about a $2K freeroll that afternoon on PokerStars, but I couldn’t make it.  Damn!

Off to do something, but not sure what, I think THE chair is calling me. I went looking for my post on THE chair…can’t find it!
