Why is Your Hand White?
Well, it all started when Danny and I cracked a beer... Yesterday was quite the day. I flew back from Montana and returned to weather forecasts that contain "coat required today" only twelve times a year. Danny picked me up from the airport and I immediately plopped down on the couch to play online. Played one hour, won $1300. Good times. Went to dinner with Danny and John, and from there went to pick up a mouse for Irwin on the way home.$541 later we walked out of Petco with a 75 gallon aquarium (to encourage small snake to grow large) with furniture quality oak stand, new snake tank stuff, all the stuff necessary to turn the old snake terrarium into a new fish aquarium, and one brown mouse. This tank is so big that we had to go to Lowe's to buy materials to build a lid to keep said snake in cage. An hour later we're heading to the register and walk past the PVC piping, at which moment I was struck with inspiration to fulfill an adult dream: build a spud gun. If you don't know what a spud gun is, it's basically a device to propel a potato 300 yards using hairspray and a barbucue ignitor. Hehehe...
So, we spent the next several hours drinking beer, assembling aquariums and terrariums and spud guns, and finally we decided that the 24 hours required to solidify the PVC cement was fulfilled three hours after application. Into the middle of the street we go and I test a dry fire.
Long story short, I could see neighbors heads in windows.
Next, insert potato. Apply fuel. Push ignitor. Push ignitor again. Open chamber, look inside, smell aerosol fumes, push ignitor again (smart). Reach into chamber and screw with potato for some reason. Remove hand and wonder why it is white.
The only fuel we could come up with was white primer paint. So my right hand is covered in white paint right now for reaching inside a spud gun.
That was the answer I gave several times throughout the rest of the night while Danny, Jim Shipley and myself went to BDubs and the Fiesta.
I don't think that I'll be heading to Tunica. I was planning on driving out there sometime in the next week, but I just looked at the schedule and realized that it ends a lot sooner than I expected. Next stop: commerce for the LA Poker Classic!
Today I've played a ton of hands online and actually went on quite a heater. I blew $1600 in the first fifteen minutes of the day but sit right now at up $2k. I bought three fish to put in the tank and learned a ton about all the reasons that I shouldn't put too many fish in the tank yet because they'll die from ammonia and nitrates and whatever, but I like my fish.
This blog officially got boring.
The official report came back on Lara's medical status, and all is good. Basically we had a cancer scare and it has been determined that the cells are non-malignant. Thank you all for your prayers and support.
Peace and good luck,
Devo
