Claudine is now a Poker Junkie.
It was a good morning at Doyle’s Place
The day started off kind of low-key. With all the rain last night I wasn’t sure how the day would go. I had to meet with the electricians, and it didn’t look like much work would get done on the barn today. I didn’t have the BobCat scheduled, though I should get to use it this afternoon.
The weather turned out nice, but I’m riding tomorrow to Molly’s meet. So I decided to play a little poker over at Doyles Place
Things went pretty well.
I played some 3-6 No Limit Texas Holem. Started out with $500 and parleyed that into a total of $8900 in the end. If only it were real money. 🙂 Of course getting 4 of a kind twice in a matter of two hours didn’t hurt much neither.
It was a lot of fun, and it sure is adictive.
Barn Update 4/20
Moving right along now.
Charlie and Co. arrived right on time at 7am. It was a bit foggy but none the less, they were there to get started. It’s amazing how crooked things can get, (wood that is) and how you can coorce it into going straight. A little lean on it here, a little come-along there. We’re within an 8th of an inch square across the entire pole barn. Watching Charlie make adjustments and square stuff up like this that makes me glad I didn’t do this myself the first time.
They finished up the top board and waited for the crane to arrive. It’s a good thing too because nobody wanted to set trusses by hand. We didn’t get any more rain last night so they were pretty sure the crane guy wouldn’t have a problem getting back to the barn and he didn’t.
The crane was right on time at 8am and it didn’t take long to git-r-dun.
All I know is with trusses on it, the barn just got a whole lot smaller.
Barn Progress Update
The trusses were dropped off today and Charlie and the boys finished off the perlings up to the top board.
They did a little tweaking to put things back square.
They will be back in the morning with a crane provided it doesn’t rain too much tonight. If it does we’ll be raising the trusses by hand and I’ll get to help out.
I let them borrow the Paslode framing nailer tonight and things moved along rather quickly with two framing nailers.
I should be a manufacturers rep for Paslode. That thing sure is sweet! Now all they need to do now is make a gun for fence staples and we’d be set! I can’t believe one doesn’t exist.
Online Poker:Doyles Place
Since I don’t get out to play poker with the guys as much as I’d like I’ve started playing a little poker online.
I’ve been playing at Doyles Room
The client isn’t too bad, the game play is fast enough and all and all it’s pretty decent.
I haven’t ventured into any “Real Money” games yet. But so far am doing well with the FREE play money.
Yes you can play here forever for FREE, and free is a good thing.
