Weekend update

Here it is 7:00 in the am on Sunday. I have been awake about an hour and that depresses me. It is weird, it is still dark out, it is not supposed to rain until late this evening -- must be a heavy cloud cover.

The wife and I did something crazy last night. We went to the casino! Neither of us have ever been to a gambling hall before. We went to grab a bite to eat with some friends (casino virgins too). One of the restaurants had been recommended to us. The food was good and reasonably priced.

Afterward we walked around the joint. We decided to play some of the slots and I have to admit, I just do not get it. I guess things have progressed from the little window with three images. There was not even an arm to pull! I had no idea if I won lost or whatever. I am apparently just not smart enough to get it. Bet how many lines? I don't know. Luckily it was one cent and two cent slots. The lady next to my wife won $46 bucks, so I guess some money can be made. I won a total of $0.37, which went into my credits and I pushed the button until my credits said zero. I had no idea how to win, or lose. We had fun.

We came back to the house and drank a couple of beers and played some cards. I had made some turtle brownies from a recipe the wife has. I am not sure what I did wrong. Instead of being thick and dense like a brownie they are light and fluffy like a cake. Frankly, they are not very good. I am normally a pretty good cook, but lately everything comes out blah. I even burnt the Spam the other day. I am going to blame it on Lack O'Nooky. She often messes with my brain...Oh, I have a crock pot full of cocktail weinies we never touched. Come on over and I will get them out of the 'fridge.

I suppose I should mow the lawn later, unless I can think of an excuse not to. Urgent update (7:45 am) -- it is raining, no mowing for me!

Aren't you glad you spent time reading that?
