The stupid truck

So my stupid truck is paid off... that means it's time for it to break down. The central... cpu thing is broken. So, the speedometer doesn't work and the windshield wipers won't turn off. I bypassed the fuse on the wipers and hung some wires from the fusebox. Now I just twist the wires and I get my wipers back. I'll put in a switch next weekend when I have time. For now though, it works.

Sometimes, I really hate that truck!

I got to grill some shrimp kebabs on Friday. Joy got them from the Shwans guy. They were friggin awesome and I recommend them to anyone.


Just put them on direct heat to sear and then off center to till the shrimp looks done. They have all sorts of different kinds so we'll try them out next month.

I played poker with the guys this Saturday. I actually won! So, that was a nice $100 bonus. I have to admit that it was a little weird to win. I always thought that it was more skill than luck in hold-em poker but, I honestly think that if anyone was getting my cards then they couldn't have helped but win either. In 5 hands I had 2 straights and 3 full houses. The straight were on the flop and the full houses were 2 pair on the flop each time. How could I lose?

All in all, it was a good weekend. I have a ton of homework and finals are next week. Joy's mom is coming here on Tuesday and staying for a week. That means some good food for Ben!

Hayden is doing awesome in school. He's one of the best students, which is a 180 degree turnaround from last year. I guess his old school really was that crappy. Well, he's doing great now and that's what's important.
