It’s a wind complaint, it has been unbearable again.  Sis says the weather across the US has been horrible with wind, rain, snow, and the spin repeats mile after mile.  She must be getting close to a million miles by now on her trekking back and forth across the US for the last three years.  You may think it’s impossible but with a driving team, it’s very possible.  They never stop for long.

Let’s talk PokerWorks Family Tournament that happened on the 28th.  There were six of us at the table but R J Squirrel was in sit out mode the whole time, dang it!  It ended like this:

1-desertblade
2-clearspine
3-DontKnow
4-R J Squirrel 40
5-djhomeschool
6-bddfc1308

Andrew was working on ValueCube and brought up ‘SEX HAT’ more than once.  I did go listen to the whole show and the SEX HAT guy didn’t get me as much as it appeared to get Andrew…perhaps too many years in Las Vegas spent staying up all night watching the world party and act bizarre.  What was funny was listening to Full Tilt software do the ‘ba-boink’ thing in the background on the show as they were taping it.  And I did find myself chuckling more than once as I listened to the whole podcast.

We found a new player – bddfc1308 – that asked in chat what the password was just a few seconds before we started, of course we spilled the beans.

Clearspine said the 1st game he learned to play was Razz.  Guess that’s why he thinks this is a starting hand – 3-2-3-Q-9 ending with 5-A.  Kicked my butt!  More than once!  I’m no match for a good player – my ears are always flapping.  I did try to bubble in 7 card stud, starting with a pair of fives, I ended up making fives over eights against Clearspine and just couldn’t go bust.  When we got down to 3 handed, we played for quite some time before DontKnow opted to sit out and blind off and I really didn’t know he was sitting out or I might have played a few hands differently.  We played on Full Tilt and as Andrew pointed out, unless you check the hand history you can’t tell when a player is in sit-out mode.

At heads-up we played back and forth again for some time and when we were right at even, agreed to chop.  I was really unfamiliar with the opting ‘to deal’ button also.  No matter what we chose, we still had to play it out so we gave up the ‘deal option’ and just jammed until one of us won…that was me…and we split the big bucks.

I played Rush Poker again and only lost $3.  I find it to be totally addicting, like I hate to click on the ‘sit out next hand’ button.

Two of my boys came out yesterday and we rented a trencher to set up our drip water system on the property.  Kee-rist!  I don’t know who would have ran that frigging trencher if my ultra healthy, super husky son hadn’t been here to do it.  It was a monster.  There were/still are a few spots to hand dig but most of it is done.  I hit Home Depot yesterday afternoon and spent a ton beefing up the economy on flag drippers, micro tubing, pvc pipe, connectors, manifolds, hot glue, you name it, I bought it.  Today before the wind went absolute hostile, I spent most of the a.m. on my knees and butt setting in the pipe and connections.  Perhaps tomorrow will find the job mostly complete.  Sis started setting in the risers and manifolds for the plants and raking/leveling the dirt into the trench; still a lot to do in that area but it’s coming along. I picked up 350 feet of pipe and it figures to be close.  I can hardly wait until it’s finished.

I’m tired.  See ya!
