The Halls

Well, much has happened recently, most of it neither funny, nor entertaining.

The Good:

We had a poker tournament, and I didn't suck. I have been either playing incredibly bad at the boats lately, or am on an unbelievably long streak of bad luck. So I expecting to get crushed at the the tournment, but I got 3rd, which I can live with.

The new truck is holding out ok so far, no compliants about it's performance. However, it has some useless, hot rod wheels

Yeah, I could care less about that. In fact, you want to buy them? I can only imagine they're worth some $$. They also have some hotrod security lognuts on them.

The best part? I don't seem to have the actual male portion to the security lugnuts. ie. I can't take off the tires.

My brother joe, well, really his wife, shannon, are having their first kid, as I write this. So hopefully that all goes well, and we'll get to go see it soon.

I got the toilet and sink for the downstairs bathroom last nite, so I intend to install all that this week.

The Bad:

No one has any shower doors I like, so I most likely will be forced to special order something, and that's some serious $$.

Our friend shelly's mom died unexpectedly last friday, so we will be going to her funeral this week. This is pretty terrible, and affects much of my family, as my parents were also good friends with them.

The Ugly:

We watched Jackass 2 last nite. I had heard much about the movie, how outrageous, and hilarious it was. We loved  the first one, laughed histarically at much of it. The second one was a let down. I was tired of the old man and woman bits almost immediately, and the stunts were only ok. Not a complete failure, but not as good as the first. The final skit/stunt was good, as was the ice horse. Otherwise, I wasn't real impressed.

I had a chipolte burrito yesterday for the first time in almost 6 months. I usually go to one of a couple local places instead, but I was on my own yesterday for lunch, and it sounded good. I can't understand how food can affect your digestion so quickly. I ate it, it was great, but I was crapping out what I can only assume was sulpheric acid for the remainder of the nite. That does not happen to me. I was afraid to go in the bathroom, when usually I love it.

I must be getting old. Good times.
