At least it was a good football weekend

Well, the iPod adapter thing didn't work for my Murano. After the tech finished taking everything apart there was nothing to plug it into. Apparently I'm missing a wiring harness that's required. They're going to do more research today to see what they can do. I'm still hopeful that I can get it installed. I figured there would be problems so I wasn't all that upset.

Luckily they had the Badger/Michigan game on tv at the dealership so I was able to watch Bucky dismantle the Wolverines and win 37-21. I guess there's still a chance they could end up playing a New Years game. When they beat Minnesota next week they'll finish at 9-3 (5-3 in the conference).

Saturday night was couples bowling. My game has fallen apart. Partly because my newest ball has just stopped working. I had to use my back up which is not drilled the same and hurts my thumb. I struggled big time and shot my lowest score in god knows how long, a 499. My average is down to 192 in that league (compared to 207 and 216 in my other 2). I don't really care about couples league, it's just for fun.

Sunday I got to watch the Packers destroy the Vikings. They're making a believer out of me now. They now have a 2 game lead in the NFC North since Detroit lost to Arizona (they still haven't played anyone decent yet). Packers play Carolina Sunday then Detroit on Thanksgiving day.

In between football I managed to tear all the old carpeting off the stairs. What a pain the ass that was. It was all stapled down, with about 100 staples on each step. Took me about 5 hours to get it out and to pull all the staples with a pliers. My hands, back, shoulders, all killing me today. I have a blister on my right ring finger that could impact bowling Wednesday. I'm hopeful it will heal, it's not a big one.

I'm going back to see Rob Bailey tonight. I may end up just trading in my newer ball for something better. I'm getting sick of trying to get it to work and taking it back in to get cleaned every couple months. We'll see...

1. can not make it Saturday

2. What's up with bowling balls - when I had mine cleaned at ream Lanes I asked how often they needed to be cleaned since I NEVER had them cleaned before.

The two old guys gave me the impression that it was WAY to often and it was getting ridiculous.

3. Packers, when will people start to take them seriously. There are two team in the NFC that are worth a SB appearance Dallas and GB - no one else!
