HI EVERYBODY---

OVERCAST, CALM, 60 DEGREES THIS MORNING. THE PREDICTED HIGH IS 65 AND IT COULD RAIN. NOT AN EXCITING PROSPECT.

WENT OVER TO MUSKOGEE FOR THE FAMILY JEWELER'S YEARLY HALF PRICE SALE; DW BOUGHT A GOLD CHAIN FOR DIL, TO ADD TO THE RING I HAD ALREADY GOT FOR HER. THEN TO THE CHINA KING BUFFET FOR SUPPER. THE EGG-DROP SOUP WAS NOT AS GOOD AS USUAL. NEW COOK???

THEY'RE OUT OF DINOSAUR BONES AT TAHLEQUAH; GOOD THING I HAVE SOME IN RESERVE :-|

NOTHING ON THE AGENDA TODAY BUT THE HABITUAL NAP.

TIME TO FEED TROUBLE THE WONDERDOG :-)

Hey guys, sorry Gris for the loss.

Nice day here, but the bottom falls out the next 36 hours.

I prefer to live in the past as well. The things going on today makes my head hurt, so I prefer stick my head in the ground.

Not a lot planned here today, piddle around in the shop.

I'm taking a personal day.... kinda nice out high of 52... I can live with 52 in December....

got errands to run so better go do it...... having trouble scheduling a haircut with my personal groomer.... what I need is a place that will cut my hair and then cut my dogs hair next.... I have not found that combo yet.....

be righteous Guru's

Went to to a holiday party last night for the patients of one of Sue's doctor's. Sue's orthopedic surgeon was also there. Sue has a relationship with her dating back to 1989. The doctor hosting the party is a nerve specialist. He never charges his patients a dime. All we can figure is he is independently wealthy and helps people because his work is his passion. He flies back and forth between Cali and Miami. See's patients on both coasts. Sue's orthopedic surgeon is 71 and has no plan to retire. She still does surgery and is an adjunct professor at University of Miami School of Medicine. She was just recently approved to start a lab for one of the largest hospitals covering South Florida. She is also one of Sue's landscape clients. They are doing research on nerve stimulation and regeneration. A fascinating lady and as down to Earth as they come. After the party Sue and I stopped into The Hard Rock for a few hours. Bruno Mars was performing so the place was packed. They also launced online betting, craps and roulette. I know you guys probably don't want to here this. I had $80 and Sue had $85 of free play. I lost their $80 and put in $100. Within a half hour of our arrival I was $850 ahead. Sue had her ass handed to her on the slots so she headed to Ultimate Texas Hold'em. There she racked up an impressive $1550 in profit. I played around jumping machine to machine on the same bank of slots. Up and down . Up and down and ended the night with $1050 in my pocket. We're not always so lucky. Last Sunday we lost $200. Just want to keep things in perspective. I will say the last month or two we've been on a roll.

NICE CAR! '55 OR '56?

Ya....dat be a 55....

Tommy maybe you should start a blog on how to win at gamboling........ hell I'd listen to it.... I'm sure you have many secrets .... I'm worried they are going to ban you from the Casino's in SoFlo..... they know you count cards....

Yeah, let's see that blog, I need to learn how to count those cards too!
Beautiful and sunny this morning and now it's cooler and looks like it could snow any minute. Storms due tomorrow. Figures, I thought I *might* put some Christmas outside but reckon not. eye doc this morning, trying some new contacts that should be better for computer users, so far I'm not a fan. Feels scratchy in my eyes and like little suction cups. Keep having to blink. Im at the office today holding down my chair, making up for days I scheduled off week of Christmas. Turns out now, Arron wants to sit home all week and not go to the beach. He'd rather put what we'd spend on this trip toward a nicer one next year. I get it but heck I had my hopes set for a white sand Christmas.

Forget about counting cards. They have automatic shufflers now and on the poker games Sue plays they use two decks dealing with one deck at a time. Either Lady luck is with you or not. On the slots, the machines seem to run hot and cold. They are factory preset and run on algorithms. The house is always gonna be on the winning side over time. To combat algorithms I play with Al Gore rhythms. Sometimes the machine and I are one with the universe. Other times the machines are like black holes. That's why they call it gambling. Right place. Right time. We play recreationally. Always more fun when you win. We do have a lot of playtime in so if experience is a factor we have that covered.
