07 January 2007, Well, it's been a good weekend so far. As I mentioned in my comments from last post, I chose to go play poker. Actually, I chose to just stay in my room, but LT S called and told me to get over there. The tournament was Texas Hold'em. Last night wasn't a "points" night, so just mainly for fun and some prizes. Out of the 65 players last night, I finished somewhere around 45th. Really not bad, since just getting to know the flow of the game at the table was half of my time. I lasted about 45 minutes and was then able to bow out (I lost all my chips) and head back to my room.
CPT C and I went to the gym this morning and lifted weights. That felt pretty good. the day went well and the time continues to pass at a good pace for us. My Air Force personnel are in their short-timer status now, and feel it necessary to rub it in frequently.
I guess everyone feels the need to rub it in some, the Dub girls hooked up the horse trailer yesterday and went shopping at Tractor Supply. I know that doesn't sound like much, but remember guys love stores like Home Depot, Lowe's, and guys with land like Atwoods and Tractor Supply. To own a couple hundred acres and have the horses and livestock to go with it would be great. With just my 5 acres right now, my chores at home this summer will hopefully include building a barn, welding together a pipe and cable fence , interior pipe fencing for the arena and runs, and setting the floor for the arena so the girls can practice barrels and poles. And I'm ready to get started. I just wish I wasn't losing so much time from the spring when the weather gets nice. Guess I'll just work with what I have.
All was quiet in Kabul today and the weather is hanging around 35 degrees mark much of the week. At least the sun is out. Well, be safe and have a good day.
