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! ;)

Nothing like watching a movie on a 2 inch screen! AWESOME!! Is it HD?
I hated that A/C last night. Thought I was going to freeze up like a bug, got a little sluggish near the end.
Um, it's a 3.5" screen and with my reading glasses on it's quite awesome. Not HD but dvd quality.
How many movies can you watch on your cell phone?
I only watch movies on my electric toothbrush now.
I getting an iRack though. I've heard they are unstable but of you put things in them they will stabilize and won't fall.
Still, many people say that iRake is STILL unstable and you must take things out.
You're an iKnob....
