Tarheel Posted August 21, 2009 Share Posted August 21, 2009 Fireplace, kegerator, music......[^o)] We are going to need a virtual tour when the rooms completed. Sounds like you are pretty handy around the house. Speaking of handy....Winchester is very good at taxidermy. He stuffed a pigeon once and now passes him off as a canvasback[] I'll have to go see for myself one day. Thunder storms and heavy rain here and expected for the weekend. May have to listen to some tunes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

USNRET Posted August 21, 2009 Share Posted August 21, 2009 Joining you boys from Padre Island. Just got all the Belles and electronics stored away in a local climate controlled facility. Wife's Mac is up and she's chatting, kids got registered for school and are on the xbox and Wii. I am slipping out the back door to the beach for a smoke and slightly strong Markers Mark. Cheers.

jacksonbart Posted August 21, 2009 Author Share Posted August 21, 2009 JB....how much did you take the guys for? I lost $40.00. It was a Texas Hold-em for $20.00 a game, no rebuys. My final hand in the first game (after 2 hours of getting poop) was a pair of tens in 2nd best position, there was just tentive calls to the blinds before the flop, the flop was 7, 3, 9 rainbow. I bet the heck out of it, 4 callers. 7 (again no flush possibility), checked to me, bet it hard, 2 callers. Then a 9, (Oh! no) Still no flush possibility. A check to me, well WTF, I go all in as I only had about $3.50 left the last guy calls, the comes around to the first checker, he folds. I know I am screwed GD it!. I get beat by a guy dealt 9-4, who landed a fullhouse. Such is life. 5th street is a real PITA Pass me a beer quick! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
winchester21 Posted August 21, 2009 Share Posted August 21, 2009 Hi Mike- Hope all is well down in TX- Just got off the phone with CB.. He is looking to build some Jubs- Bear got in his fish pond and trashed his filter. LMAO. He was throwing s--t and shooting at him. What a visual. Give him a call if you get a minute. He would love to hear form you. Take care. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fini Posted August 21, 2009 Share Posted August 21, 2009 Just popped my second Full Sail Amber Ale, trying to get up the gumption to crawl under the house to fix the dryer vent. Mmm...sticky adobe! Our old washer went belly-up, so we bought a new Samsung front-loader (with a pedestal) from Lowes. Turns out the sucker is, like 4" deeper than the Frigidaire I pulled out. Problem is the laundry is inside a closet, and the location of the dryer vent prevents the washer from being pushed far enough in to clear the bifold doors. So much for a quick replacement...gotta reroute the gas line, too... Good thing I picked up a 12-pack. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tarheel Posted August 21, 2009 Share Posted August 21, 2009 Kettle One..not to shabby JB. So thats what your poker winnings bought? Winchester I can't begin to compete with your life style but I permit myself a few indulgences now and then[] Where is dg and bl?

fini Posted August 21, 2009 Share Posted August 21, 2009 Thanks, Tarheel! Hey, just for fun, here's a cool photo from 1942 of the construction of Shasta Dam. Click on the picture for the full-sized image and look at the detail! See how many workers you can find. My brother and I have a house about 60 miles North of this dam. Don't worry: the picture opens in a new window, so you won't lose your place at the bar! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigStewMan Posted August 21, 2009 Share Posted August 21, 2009 Whew! What a day. To quote Lloyd Bridges from that classic comedy Airplane..."I picked a bad day to quit drinking." Someone have a cold one for me, then someone else do the same. Maybe crank up some old Queen "March of the Black Queen" or "Keep Yourself Alive" until you're feeling adequately buzzed, then turn the lights down and play Shine On You Crazy Diamond. Thanks for the assist Gentlemen. -Steve- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tarheel Posted August 21, 2009 Share Posted August 21, 2009 I had poured a second drink but I put it back....I couldn't see any of those workers JB saw[*-)] Welcome BigStew.....we've got you covered[] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kuisis Posted August 21, 2009 Share Posted August 21, 2009 Just got home from my fave after work joint. Had a few Belgium beers. A Piraat, Gulden Draak, and Tripel Karmeliet. They have 25 Belgians on tap, and not just Stella and Hooegarden. Been a long week. Doing research for our fantasy football draft tomorrow. Oh yeah I'm drinking a Dogfish 90 Minute.
