Mostly should be me, catching up on emails and getting things set up for next week. Then it's another weekend off!
By the way, because I was "on call" since my potential lay off last year, I calculated I had 3 months off total last year.
Not bad. No chance I'm doing that again this year. : )
Have a good weekend folks!
It appears that my nephew was playing his race wrong the whole time which gave him a HUGE edge in the game!
After looking back over his "strategy" I realized he'd been playing them wrong. As was the kid in 2nd place with his faction!
Now, the ruling on the field is that my nephew "won" but really it was 3rd place. (which was me) so maybe I have a post trophy?
This has only happened once in a game where the rules were misread. I would've won that game too had not the other person played his race incorrectly. But I still let him keep the win post-game. Very fascinating! I can't wait to tell him of his error. :)
Happy new year folks!
In our final game of the year my nephew won without a competition this time and I knew it after the first round. EVERYONE helped him out and gave him an early 2 point lead. From their my chess player instincts enacted and I could see where there was no way to stop him. I announced that to the group that he had won to everyone's laughter and ridicule. Only to be proven right by the 6th round (which is the exact round I said he'd win in)
Everyone was stunned. But my nephew knew what I knew and was telling people by the end of the 4th round that the game was over they just didn't know it.
Overall however, it was a fun expansion. My only regret was that we were one game short of tying the record for most plays in one year at 10. I thought FOR SURE we were going to break that record back in August when we'd completed our 8th game. But Thanksgiving came without a game, as did last week. (we usually play 2 games around Christmas break, sometimes 3) So unless by some miracle I have a few guys coming over later tonight, the run ends at 9.
Still not a bad way to go out in 2025!
From there, it's had a few highs too. So overall, I'd say I broke even.
How was your 2025?
Not bad! The burger looked better than it tasted. Don't get me wrong, the food was fine, but it doesn't beat Belle's Southern Diner for me. I enjoyed my meal, yes. Would I go back?
No, probably not. But I wouldn't fight anyone if they wanted to go either. So there.
AMAZING.
First, the place is packed full of blue collar workers, so right then and there I knew the place couldn't be that bad.
I order a burger, fries, coke and dessert.
Excellent.
WRONG
Try 35 minutes with extreme pressure and the thing fell right apart the moment the clamp came off. I used gobs of it too.
I may a well have used my own spit and gotten the same effect. So instead, I drilled a few screws into the panel and fixed it that way.
I threw the rest of the "glue" in the trash. What a waste!

Earlier this year I was having trouble seeing my phones in the morning and reading directions on the back of boxes while cooking.
At first I thought it was the lighting in the room but now I know it was only my eyes.
So last month I got of pair of readers for $1.50 and have been happily reading without any problem! No more holding things away from my face just to read.
Wait... does this mean I'm getting old??
