Time to Donkey around the HORSE Tournament

It’s PokerWorks Family Donkey time – on Valentine’s day, the perfect donkey day – let’s play for $5.00 + $.50  and more BS than you can stand, at 22:30 ET on PokerStars since MOI has never had the time or energy to think of finding out what the hell Full Tilt Poker has on offer.  Don’t forget the password – donkeys.  Don’t forget the tournament ID 242149175 – although the easiest way to find it is to go to ‘tourneys’ – ‘private’ and scroll down to 22:30.

And the rains came down

Too funny sometimes how plans are made and then dumped because of weather.  Such is the case for me today…as the old expression goes ‘Raining like a cow pissing on a flat rock.’  If you’ve never heard it before, don’t fret, I’m sure there are lots of sayings we all haven’t heard and are probably the better for it.  It was a steady downpour all day.  There are pools of water standing on the property.  The Riotmeister and I made it an indoor kind of day.  He goes home tomorrow.

Lots of Things

Sooner or later…I always come back.  It’s been awhile.  MOI’s been a very, very busy girl.  Mz. DigDug has been digging up the earth for the last 5 trees to be planted on the back of the property by the fence line, the new holes are dug, the trees have yet to be dug – I’m counting on my son to be out this afternoon and that’s where we’re heading.

There must be an ark around here somewhere!

Some kinda weather going on here, but reports from the truck driving duo, the Hack, and from writer extraordinaire Jen, it’s not JUST here, it’s running outa control in the western region.  The winds came with the rain, each taking its turn, at times raging in unison, the forecast for good weather is out there somewhere, but definitely not here, not now.  The mountains have a major head of snow – visible when I first got up today but covered now in a shroud of mist and clouds and buried behind a wall of rain – just where I’ll be driving tomorrow. OMG!  A duck just swam by my window! Continue reading There must be an ark around here somewhere!

Coupla couplas

First the PokerWorks’ Family Tourney was played and MOI won (lucky bitch) and she’s so glad she is lucky and so glad she won.  Getting pushed around twice a month is not only b-0-r-i-n-g, it’s hard on one’s poker mentality.  Anyway, we had 10 players and that was extremely nice.  My son Josh played and even after he got knocked out, he stayed to root for me…sending me little chat messages now and then.  NICE!

Fun time in the big city

I made Vegas without a hitch on Thursday.  I also hit Community One FCU and closed out my checking account and withdrew everything except the $25 it takes to keep the account open – I still have payments to make there.  As soon as I’m done with those payments, it’s ‘see-ya’ time for me.  I spoke with the cashier for a few minutes as she closed out things for me and handled my withdrawals.  She couldn’t believe it – appeared to be completely shocked that I was getting dissed as I was by the establishment because she looked over my accounts as we talked.  On leaving, I said, “Well…this is goodbye, it’s like closing a 16 year chapter of my life.”  She agreed…naw, we didn’t get sniffly…but she was very nice.  To the CU “SCREW YOU!” Continue reading Fun time in the big city

Rainy Daze and Wednesdays…

must belong in a song somewhere.  I woke up around 3a.m. to hear the rain hit the roof of the coach, a nice gentle patter, I fell back to sleep knowing I wouldn’t be hiking or biking today.  I had been chatting the Hack yesterday and she said the wind and rain was unbelievable at her place and without even looking at the wall, I could see the writing.  My little section of desert has inherited the watery blow.
