We won our 2nd game of the season Friday to go to 2-0. It's early yet but I think we have a pretty decent team. I had a goal and an assist. After 2 games I have 2 goals and 3 assists. I even got to play center for the 2nd and 3rd periods. I love doing it, taking faceoffs is a blast and it gives me a chance to make more plays. I usually don't do it when we're short handed (we run 2 centers and 3 pairs of wings) since I'm getting old and don't have the stamina I used to. I did pretty well though and we won 5-2 (same score for both games). I did get stoned on a breakaway though, I'll have to work on my moves some more...
I had some bowling trouble on Saturday. My ball suddenly stopped hooking again. It's the 2nd time it's happened and I still didn't recognize the problem until really late. The new resin balls have a lot of pores that absorb the oil to help it hook. Once the pores get clogged with oil it won't absorb any more and it just won't hook. I'm taking it in to get cleaned and sanded tonight. I need to recognize this problem earlier. I didn't switch balls until the 7th frame of the 3rd game and struck out. Wish I'd done that before. Lowest series of the year at 524... and we lost all 3 games.
Once again a boring world series results in a sweep. Seems like we just can't get a decent world series or super bowl any more. Always one-sided. I see that AssRod opted out of his contract with the Yankees. I guess their offer of $27-$30 million over an additional 5 years just isn't enough for that greedy bastard. Maybe he can sign with the Red Sox now...
Oh, I took pictures of the finished upstairs flooring now that everything is back together. I'll post them when I get a chance.
Remember, Packers/Bronco's at 7:30 tonight!

Sin City 1, Adubya 0
Well, I'm back from Vegas after making a huge donation to help build additional casino's where I can make future huge donations...
I haven't had a trip like that in about 8 years. Nothing worked, got my ass kicked everywhere I turned. I tried different tables, different casino's, different limits... screwed at every turn. I'm not sure how much we ended up losing but it wasn't just a little.
2 good things did happen though. 1 was that we saw Phantom at the Venetian and it was outstanding. Awesome theater and great show. Best of the 4 I've seen.
The 2nd was that I tried the front desk tip deal and it worked like a charm!
We arrived at the Paris in Las Vegas around 2pm Sunday. The check in line was about 20 people deep so I wasn't too excited about my chances of scoring an upgrade. When it was my turn I told Said my name and slid my credit card and id to him with a $20 bill folded between them. I asked him if he had any "complementary upgrades". He smiled knowingly and said he'd see what he could do. He found a newly renovated room for us pretty quickly. Then he says he isn't supposed to do this until later but he got me into a suite for $85 more. I jumped on the $1,200 a night room which ended up costing me about $225/night.
The room was also newly renovated with a separate living area with a 42" plasma tv, wet bar and 2 separate bathrooms (one with a huge jacuzzi tub). It was great. I'll try the tip thing every time now.
One other thing about Vegas you should know. When catching a cab to or from the airport, make sure you tell them to NOT take the freeway. They'll tell you it's faster but it's about 10 miles longer, not faster and will cost you double. On the way from the airport I was ready to say "no freeway" but he was on the right going away from the freeway so I didn't think I had to. At the last second, he swerves left and says "I'll take the freeway, it's faster" and before I could even say a word it was too late. $22 for that trip. On the way back it was $12 without taking the freeway. It's 4 freakin' miles from the airport to the strip. There's no reason to drive 14 miles around the city. Assholes....
I did learn from one cab driver that while the law officially states no open intoxicants on the street or in cabs, no one will say anything to you. He told us that as long as the person isn't so drunk that they'll spill their drink that it's ok to just bring your beer into the cab. I tried this, no problem.
I didn't see anyone famous this trip but I did see 3 new Rolls Royce Phantom's in front of casino's. Very cool car, and apparently the new choice of the rich and spoiled, I mean famous.
Too bad I'm not going to be there next week, Paris Hilton is hosting a Halloween party at the LAX club at the Luxor. Bummer...
I'll post more later as I start remembering what actually happened...

It's a total undular bore
For those of you who are weather geeks (you know who I'm talking about) or maybe you like to go outside during a storm and look at the sky, here's video of giant atmospheric bore waves rolling over Iowa (courtesy of NASA).
And now on to the always not popular bowling update. 628 on Wednesday with a horrible 168 start, followed by the most god-awful 243 you'd ever see and a 217.
Thursday went a little better as I fired 235, 255, 242 for 732. Had at least 6 strikes in a row in each game. My average in that league is now 226 after 3 weeks.
As it's Friday, I'll probably work a half day. I really need to get my office put back together again so it's not hanging over me while I'm in Vegas. My hockey league is starting the winter season tonight as well, first game at 8:30.
As for Vegas, we leave Sunday morning, flying Midwest Airlines out of Milwaukee. We return Wednesday afternoon. We'll be staying at the Paris, I'm hoping I can get an upgraded room with a view of the Bellagio Fountains. I'm going to try the $20 tip suggestion offered here.
I'm planning on betting on some football games, just not sure which ones yet, and playing craps mostly. I'll probably do a little blackjack and I was thinking I'd try pai-gao poker, haven't played that before.
That's all for now, I might post from Vegas from my iPhone if I feel like it. It'll probably just be pictures of drunk people...

Office Flooring done
Finished the trim tonight, here's a couple of pictures before I put my office back together again. I'll take a couple more after that is done too.
Almost good enough
Well, the Ice Cube open ended in frustrating fashion. For some reason my driving, which is usually the best part of my game, left me. I hit only 2 fairways and didn't really hit a great drive until 18. My iron game picked up for it the most part but I ended up getting in trouble too often off the tee; 2 toppped drives, 3 that ended up under a tree and twice I had to try to hit over trees only to catch part of the tree and carom off into more trouble. Still, a couple shots here or there and I would have finished in the money at least. I ended up shooting an 86 (40/46), my 4th straight 86, and with a 15 handicap I ended up at even par 71, net.
The front 9 was pretty strange. I 3 putted for double bogey on 1, 3 putted for bogey on 2 and 3 putted for double on 6. I parred the other 6 holes, 5 of them by sinking a 1-putt.
Back 9, the 2 par 5's cost me. And again, it was the driver. Both drives left me in trouble and I ended up double bogeying both of them. Those 2 holes are usually my bread and butter but not Saturday. Oh well, there's always next year.
Yesterday I worked on my office. I got all the flooring down but it was a pain in the ass. Since I had already done the hall way, I needed to work backwards from the door into the room, which is opposite how the flooring should go down. Instead of locking the tongue into the groove, I had to do it in reverse. Made for a difficult time at best. I'll try to finish the trim tonight and maybe Tuesday I can get the room put back together again. I'll be very happy when this is over. Of course, there are still 20 things on the "honey-do" list...
Packers held on to win a tough defensive battle against the Redskins yesterday. The D really came through this time as the O struggled to do much of anything. Favre was picked off twice and really should have been picked off 5 times but the Redskins dropped the passes he threw to them several times. Charles Woodson came up with a big fumble recovery that he raced to the end zone with and Nick Barnett came up with a huge stop on 4th and 3 to seal the game.
The Badgers... um, well, uh... their D has been exposed and it's become obvious they were no where as good as the writers had initially predicted. Hello Alamo Bowl... maybe. Luckily they get Northern Illinois this week.
We leave for Vegas this Sunday. Won't be able to bet on the Packers since this is their bye week. I'll probably bet a few other games and the world series. Looks like the Rockies will not lose.

Final Room
As you know I've been working on putting in new flooring in the house. I'm in the middle of working on my office currently. Last weekend I got everything out of the room and tore up the carpet. I bought some paint and primer from Home Depot and after priming Sunday I painted Monday and Tuesday nights.
I decided to use a different paint than I've used throughout the rest of the house and I'm not happy with it at all. In the past I've always used Sherwin Williams paint. It's pretty expensive but I've always been happy with it and it's worked great. This time, however, we bought Behr paint from Home Depot and while the color is great, the paint itself sucks. Taking the tape off the walls takes the paint right with it. I've had to be very careful to not just rip the tape off or I'd pull entire sheets of paint right with it. I won't use that paint again. I should know better, you get what you pay for, I say it all the time.
That said, I do think it looks nice. I'll get the flooring done this weekend and post a couple pictures so you can judge for yourself.
Bowled last night and shot a 710 (265, 235, 210) and won $20 in Keggler's Kash again. Weird thing, now that it's colder out the a/c was off at the lanes. Unfortunately you put a ton of guys in one area and it got hot in a hurry. They finally turned the a/c on at the start of the 3rd game (full blast!) and the oil evaporated almost instantly. Shots that were normally right there were all of a sudden diving right into the head pin. I never got adjusted right, which explains the last game's score. I did manage to be open-free. Just one split on the night too. We won the first game easily but lost the next 2 and ended up tying for total pins! That sucked...
Saturday marks the last golf tournament of the season, the Ice Cube Open at Door Creek. Typically it is 45, sleeting and 25 mph winds for this tourney but it looks like it will be sunny and about 60 for this one. Can't wait. We'll probably have a frost delay though as the overnight temp is supposed to be about 34.
A week from Sunday we leave for Vegas with Dr. Mike and his wife. We're staying at the Paris this time. We haven't stayed there before but have been in it many times. I better start refreshing my craps strategies again. Oh, and loading up my iPhone with movies for the flights! ;)

Laying a big turd
That's exactly what the Packers did last night in losing to the Bears. National tv, huge game against their biggest rivals and they dropped a deuce on the 50.
Instead of the run and gun offense we've seen the first 4 games, they decided to run the ball. And it worked in the first half when they had a chance to bury the Bears. They put up 341 yards of offense and 17 points in the first 2 quarters but it could have been 31-3 at the half very easily if not for James Jones fumbling twice deep in Chicago territory to ruin drives.
2nd half was a joke. No offense at all, ultra conservative play calling (to McCarthy's defense, they never had good field position), tons of penalties and 3 more turnovers all lead to allowing the Bears back in the game and eventually the win.
Even on the last drive, it was just what the doctor ordered. 2 minutes left with 1 timeout and Brett Favre on the field. Unfortunately they took their sweet ass time and blew 90 seconds just getting to mid-field. They ended up taking 2 shots down the field from the 35, one of them being dropped inside the 15 by James Jones (what a horrendous game for the rookie) and the last a hail mary to the end zone that Donald Driver couldn't come up with and was intercepted.
Made me sick...
Went golfing on Saturday and it was a beautiful 87 degree day. Don't see that on October 6th too often. Felt like July all over again. Me, Dr. Mike, Retro and Balderdash played Foxboro in Oregon. It was the first time I'd played it. The owners of Door Creek bought it with the old head pro and they've done some really nice work there. The greens were in great shape. They were pretty fast and very sloped which surprised me. The fairways and rough were all nice and green. There are no sand traps on the course, which is a little weird but there are plenty of trees and lots of water to make things interesting.
The course is laid out a little oddly though. Par 36 on the front, mostly through the trees. Par 34 on the back, which meanders through a development and you end up having to drive your cart under a highway then back through the neighborhood. Still, the holes were set up nicely and I enjoyed the course. I shot an 87 (41/46). I should have done much better. The 41 on the front included 2 4-putts (did I mention that the greens were super sloped?) and 2 birdies. I had a good look at eagle on the first par 5 after driver/6 iron to about 15 feet. I made the tap in birdie then birdied the next hole after a good drive and a sand wedge to about 4 feet. Back 9 I 3 putted for bogey on the first 2 holes and eventually started struggling a little bit. I hit 8 of 13 fairways and 8 greens in regulation but ended up with 40 putts. I don't think any of us putted well. Balderdash had about a 12 foot downhill putt from the fringe that went all the way off the front of the green, about 60 feet away.
Yesterday was spent tearing apart my office to get ready for the flooring. Took quite a while to go through everything and throw out a bunch of junk, then take my giant 7 piece desk apart and move it out of the room. After that was done and the carpet was ripped out, I primed the walls. I'll be painting tonight and tomorrow night. Picked up a dark blue (it's called sapphire something or other) which will require 2 coats and a primer. Plan is to do the flooring Sunday (Ice Cube Open on Saturday) and be finished so that I can go to Vegas the following weekend without that hanging over me.

Old age and treachery
MC made a comment yesterday when I sent out the bowling lineup for last night that we were going with the old guy lineup (because me, CB and Grinder were all bowling). And after the "young boy" lineup we had last week getting crushed, it was probably a good idea.
And it turned out that the "old guy" lineup was the right way to go as we dismantled a very good team, winning 7-0. Just goes to show you that old age and treachery will win out every time.
I shot 657 with a fairly consistent night. I also won $20 in the "Keggler's Cash" bet. You can bet up to $5 a game on yourself and based on your average you have to get strikes in certain frames to win. For me, I had to strike in the 1st, 3rd, 6th, 9th and 10th frames, which I did in the first game and won 10x my bet. Of course, I do this every week so I'm still behind... But, add in 2 more card game wins (the first was a HUGE pot) and I've probably paid for my bowling each week already.
So, suck it youngsters!

Quick Update
Once again, I have to apologize for being so lax in posting. I have been unbelievably busy, both at work and at home. Seems like I never have a minute to just sit back and relax.
After a one week delay in our hockey playoffs, due to some nutcase with a death wish, we played our 2 playoff games Thursay and Friday.
Unfortunately, we lost Thursday's game and had to play Friday for 3rd place. We ended up having to play the 2nd place team from the regular season (who lost to the 3rd place team on Thursday). We hadn't beaten them once the entire year but we came out firing and my line scored 2 in our first shift. I scored the first with a no look backhander from in close that the goalie probably never saw and set up the 2nd with a feed across the slot to a breaking defenseman for a tap in empty netter.
We went on to win 6-4 to take 3rd place. Better than 4th! :)
On the weekend I ended up doing the flooring in the upstairs hallway and closet. Went pretty well and still had time to watch some football and go to my niece's 2nd b-day party. Also another opportunity to show off the iPhone. It's still kick ass. I used the camera to take a few pictures of the niece and nephew with ice cream and cake all over their faces. Family was impressed by the "pinch" zoom feature on the pictures.
Brewers... I'm disappointed that they didn't make the playoffs but they're very young and I didn't expect that much from them. If they can re-sign Cordero and keep this nucleus together they will be very tough next year. Ah, battle cry of the losers - "WAIT TILL NEXT YEAR!"
And how about them Packers? I believe Favre has finally learned to be patient in his old age. In years past he would throw short pass, short pass, short pass.. oh fuck it, and chuck one way down the field where it was picked off. Now he's taking what the D will allow and moving the team with the patience of someone his age. Big test against the Bears Sunday night, I can't wait. Brian Griese... bwaahaahhahahaha

Brewers... I'm disappointed that they didn't make the playoffs but they're very young and I didn't expect that much from them. If they can re-sign Cordero and keep this nucleus together they will be very tough next year. Ah, battle cry of the losers - "WAIT TILL NEXT YEAR!"
And how about them Packers? I believe Favre has finally learned to be patient in his old age. In years past he would throw short pass, short pass, short pass.. oh fuck it, and chuck one way down the field where it was picked off. Now he's taking what the D will allow and moving the team with the patience of someone his age. Big test against the Bears Sunday night, I can't wait. Brian Griese... bwaahaahhahahaha
