New Facebook page!
I have created a FB page to promote awarenes of Big Retail's encroachment on our holidays. It's getting quite a few Likes already! See it here:
https://www.facebook.com/takebackyourholidays
Who knows how far it will go, but if it takes off, I'm gonna try to keep it going year-round to also help persuade people to quit buying shit they don't need.
I also want to email the managers responsible for deciding to open their doors on Thanksgiving. Just awful.

Slow weekend
Not much to report from the weekend. Getting ugly outside. (BTW, the new jacket has arrived, woooo!)
Played Caryn's Saturday tourney. $150 deepstack with $50 bounty. Great structure. Played well but chased a few hands down the stretch that didn't pan out. Later doubled up with QQ, then busted when my KK lost to Nicole's pocket 10's. Aww well. I wanted the call and just got unlucky. I like the big $$ bounty though.
No Browns game this weekend. Barely left the house actually. I did buy an 18.5" barrel for my 12ga, should be here in a few days.
Here's a pic of me and the Pup from a camping trip this fall.

Gun range with mom
Mom did well with the P22. The head shot group in the pic is mine. I had some trouble with the Sig, every 2nd to last shot failed to load. I'm thinking it's the magazine. Gonna try to add some tension to the existing spring before plunking down $40 for a new mag. Gonna give it a real good cleaning as well. Might need to polish the feed ramp too. Raegen went with us too, she shot well also. I forgot to get video/pics.
The laser on the Sig was a bit off, and I was quite a bit more accurate with the Walther. Need to shoot it some more to really check it out.
Mom's in much better shape after her back surgery.

Firearms shuffle
Trying to sell the PT111 that I loaned my mom so that I can give her something with a light on it so she can see if something goes bump in the night. I ended up buy a used Sig Mosquito with a laser, which I have yet to shoot, but it seems like a nice little .22 plinker. I put a light on my Walther PK22 and will loan that to mom. It holds like 11 rounds, is easy to handle, won't deafen you, and should do the job if really needed. I ordered some CCI mini mags to go into it.
So, I have yet to sell the PT111, and I'm now thinking about trading it to TK for his S&W Bodyguard .380 with laser. Caprice wants something with a laser and it might be decent for carrying. Definitely thinner than the little PT22 I have for her now, although it only holds 7 rds. We'll see. I'll do some more homework on the S&W.
I've also added a pistol grip to my 12ga, and will add a shorter 18.5" barrel when I can. Toss in a sling, ammo clip, and maybe a cheap light and I'll have a nice little zombie slayer/hunting combo gun. I've hunted with it (like 25 years ago) and it's really accurate.
So, winter is coming and I've been thinking about getting a new coat. I really miss the old L.L. Bean parka I had many years back, so I looked it up and they still sell it, but it's $200! So I dug around the site and found one on clearance for $129. Only thing is that it's almost identical to my old one. They only had the 1 color left in dark navy/black. Screw it, I loved that jacket! Can't wait for it to get here. My old one needed an additional hoodie and was heavy as shit, so this will be a sweet change of pace.
Check out the awesome pumpkin I carved this year!

House party, poker, Browns, etc
Had a house party last weekend, made some pretty good food, and had a good time. Watched Sharknado. As good as it gets! House looks great with the refinished floors.
Took a booze cruise to Kelly's Island to watch the Browns lose to DET the weekend before that. Had fun and even hit a $5 square in the last quarter to win $125!
Bought a full truckload of slabwood for $30! It's not quite seasoned but it worked well for the backyard fire for the party even though we didn't hang out outside because it was pretty wet. We also bought a cornhole set. Instead of sports, I decided to get a custom set made, and asked for the A of spades and K of hearts on contrasting backgrounds, and red/black bags. See the board we got? He also didn't have the bags but we should have them this week.
Mike Doughty show at the Beachland on Tuesday was great. ALL Soul Coughing!
Meeting friends at Crocker Park to see The Counselor tonight. Looks like a good movie.

Another win
Decent win at the Shoe the other night! Won a big side pot in a hand where I actually lost with JJJQQ vs QQQQ...another guy nearly had a royal, so we were dancing around the $225k BB jackpot. The 8 of diamonds hits again.
Saw Glenn Schwartz last night. Still sounds great but he's not looking good. Krazy Mike even came in from PIT to see the show.
My mom just had back surgery. She's in some pain but will be able to walk with much less pain once she heals up. They scraped arthritis spurs from her spine...ewwww. Makes me kinds nauseous to think about it.

Vine
I've been playing with Vine for a couple days now, and it's a blast. Here are a couple I've put together. I recommend following Jeffrey Gray, he's damn funny.

Poker!
I used to keep the 8 of diamonds in my wallet for good luck. It was a numerology thing I either got from my ex wife or some online poker blog/website. I stopped carrying it for a very long time. Last week, as I was walking in to work, I found an 8 of diamonds right outside my office door, and put it in my pocket.
About a week later, yesterday as a matter of fact, I got a text about the evening poker game in Brecksville, Matt G's little berry patch. I had played with these guys twice before and the action was amazing, but hadn't won. A few of the guys are real assholes. Anyway, I decide to go since I'd bailed the last 5-6 weeks in a row, and didn't want to get pulled from the player list. We started at 7:15 and by 8PM I was up $600+, but really couldn't leave so quickly, as hit and runs are really frowned upon in home/private games, especially single table games where a couple people dropping out can kill the entire night. Oh, I forgot to mention that James the Horseshoe poker room manager was there also. I'd played against him on several occasions a few years ago at LF's game, and had pretty much owned him. Somethings never change. I ended up stacking him 3 times for about $1700 total. Rivered a set with KK, turned a set with QQ, and flopped the nuts with 9-10. We were in a $2400 pot around 11PM.
I was up over $2200 (this is a $1-2 NL game) at 11:30, and locked my chips down after that. At about 1AM, I lost $200+to2-3 off suit as bingo hour was getting underway. I got 5-6 callers with AK when I raised it to $25 preflop. They all wanted me to double them up, so I decided to cash. You should have seen the look on their faces. They whined and cried, but screw them, I was up $2002 on a single buy-in. Best $1-2 cash EVER. I think the 2nd best was around $1400-1600 way back when Coleman was hosting.
Moral of the story...the 8of diamonds works! Go Tribe!

What a weekend!
First off... Breaking Bad is over :( What an amazing show, and it had to be ended, and they ended it well. No hint or possibility of a sequel, although I've heard rumor from Bill Burr's podcast that there may be a PREquel starring Saul the lawyer. Walter White/Heisenberg is dead. Jesse is free! He got kicked around so much. 2 weeks until Walking Dead!
A couple movies I want to see:
The Counselor and The Fifth Estate look really good.
Machete Kills and Runner Runner are also on the list.
SPORTS!!! Browns beat the Bengals, and BAL and PIT both lose! CLE is now tied for 1st and the Stillers are 0-4 for the first time since the year I was born!
To top it off, the Tribe is in the playoffs! Post season play begins Wednesday. I may have to scalp some tix, although the Browns play Thursday night too. Hmmm.
