INTERNET PROBLEMS

WE’VE BEEN OFF LINE THE LAST 10 DAYS WITH INTERNET PROBLEMS. THE COMPANY THAT PROVIDES OUR SERVICE STOPPED OUT YESTERDAY AND REPLACED ALL OF THEIR EQUIPMENT. NOW WE’RE BACK UP AND RUNNING FINE.

WHILE WE WERE GONE,THE PACKERS FINALLY WON A GAME WITHOUT RODGERS, YAHOO!!!

OUR TIME OFF HAS BEEN SPENT TAKING THE CAR TO LAS VEGAS.  IT STARTED WITH A SIMPLE OIL CHANGE, AND ONE OF THOSE SMALL GRINDING NOISES TO CHECKOUT. THE NEXT MONDAY WE RETURNED TO REPLACE A WHEEL BEARING AND AXEL BEARINGS. ON THE ROAD TEST THE NOISE WAS STILL THERE SO IT’S BACK TO VEGAS A THIRD MONDAY IN A ROW TO REPLACE THE WHEEL BEARINGS ON THE OTHER SIDE. FORTUNATELY THIS STUFF IS ALL UNDER WARRENTY.  WE MET UP WITH PAULIE THE FIRST TRIP AND IT WAS GOOD TO CATCH UP WITH HIM AND HEAR ABOUT HIS FALL TRIP TO NORTHEAST IOWA. AFTER THREE WEEKS IN A ROW, WE MAYBE REGULARS AT JAKE’S LOUNGE ON EASTERN.

LIKE YOU, OUR WEATHER HAS BEEN IN COLDSNAP MODE, AND WE’VE BEEN BURNING LP BY THE TANKFUL. UNLIKE YOU, OUR TEMPS WILL RETURN TO THE LOW 70’S NEXT WEEK.

THIS IS WEEK #20, ONLY 20 WEEKS UNTIL WE TAKE THE SUMMER OFF FROM THE CASINO BUSINESS.
