Forced Poker Break
Posted in Poker | View Comments (12)
 

I kind of have a forced poker break right now, which is good and bad. I had a computer guy come to my house 2 times to re-install my motherboard in my laptop that I use with my 30" (my poker computer). He didn't fix anything at all so now I have to mail it in to get it fixed. I am really annoyed by this because now I can't really play poker So much for getting in a lot of hands at home! Now I really really want to play!

Kind of nice to have a break though. Been hanging out with a lot of friends and family, spending some money, working out, running, and working on my golf game.

I bought a new set of golf clubs a couple days ago. Nike irons and Big Bertha driver. I don't play that much golf, maybe 5x a year the last few years, but will be playing a lot more in the future. Golf is extremely relaxing and I really enjoy it. I got a hybrid iron, which I had never actually even heard of before (man I'm a golf fish). I used it today and it was great. Totally replacing my long irons. Easy to hit as well. If any of you golf, I would def. recommend getting one.

I also went down to Chicago yesterday to go look at a car and I'm sold on it. I've always loved cars and decided to buy a used '05 M3 with like 25k miles on it. I couldn't be happier and I really really love this car. I pick it up tomorrow and am really excited to drive it home. It has some serious balls, looks great, and I don't feel like I really wasted money since it's not brand new or anything I couldn't drive regularly.

Here are a couple pics...






I'm going to be driving down to Vegas probably around the 7th to 10th (if I get my computer back in time, fingers crossed). It will be a long drive from Milwaukee, but I really want to have a car there and also bring a lot of stuff for the house. (computer chair, monitor, golf clubs, etc) I would never be able to fly with all that, especially now that they charge you just for your FIRST bag...WTF!! I'm really looking forward to doing a lot of golfing in vegas.

That's it for now, thanks for reading.

great car selection! gl fitting your computer chair in there

gl with golf. it is very fun/enjoyable. there's so many side games you can play with it as well. i played a fun one called Wolf last time I went out. it's a fun game that involves choosing a new partner on each hole or Wolfing it and going solo. pretty fun.
