going once... going twice... SOLD!

 

Back from Vegas this morning.
I'm at work, and I'm tired. Got home at 3am got up for work at 7am.

Didn't win the tournaments.
Actually, I didn't expect to win the Blackjack tournament since they are based on luck more than skill because you play a limited number of hands and are competing against the other players for who has the most money.
I thought I had a good chance in the poker tournament because I knew it was going to be mostly blackjack players playing in the poker tournament.
I'm pretty sure I would have placed in the top 3, if not 1st had it been a regular poker style tournament.

Unfortunately, they screwed it up. Basically you had $5000 in chips, and 45mins to make as much money as you could. Top money from each table went to the next round.

This method is lame, and eliminates the skill factor in poker.
The guys that had the most money, were players that didn't know what they were doing, and just played stupid to get it over with, but they got lucky.

I didn't know this was the format. Had I known, I would have saved a trip to Vegas and a lot of extra losing that wasn't necessary.


Good luck on the sales Casey.
Welcome back Zoo.
Thanks for doin what you do Jordon!

 

if i can sell my rims i will pick up the racing beat stuff.

 

I'm confused?
If you're on the 210W, the south/north 15 is just before the Cherry exit.
If you're on 210E, the south/north 15 is obvious.

I'm guessing you mean no access to the 15 if get on the 210 at Cherry or Beech, which does suck.
If you need the 15 south, just get on it directly at Summit, although that left on to Summit from Cherry tends to back up in the morning.

 

hoorah to the opening of the 210 East... it's going to make my monthly trek out to SB shorter now.

 

I don't drive the 210 much, just once or twice a month to go to Pasadena.

 

I posted up some pics from the first memory card a while back....then was in Mexico and hadn't had any time to post more. So, here are some shots from Memory stick 2....for those of you who are interested, or just plain bored at work

Pic 1: A tribute to Guitar Hero players we found while walking along the Thames river in London, England. Thought it was something I would share for those of you playing that game right now...or for those who came over to the Rock Star night at our house a couple months back.

Pic 2: Eiffel Tower in Paris, France. We made it to Paris by train, but were stuck in the airport at midnight, as everything closes down for the night in France. We slept on the airport marble floors, not comfy, and VERY cold. When the city woke up around 700am, we got on a train and made it into town. We put our bags in our hostel and went walking around the city. This was one of the first sights we saw that morning.

Pic 3: A street in London, England...just to give you guys an idea of what things look like over there.

Pic 4: A night of drinking in London, England. Of course, you must bring an umbrella when drinking outside in London...it just seems to rain whenever it wants. Some of you may remember my drinking contest I had with the locals in China....well, I put the London locals to the test....results....they were able to keep up pretty well so I'll consider it a tie. I'm still undefeated up to this point.

Pic 5: London, England....a pic of Big Ben and House of Parliment. This was our last day in London. It was sunny (still cold though) and we wanted to get in some more sights before leaving for Paris that same evening.

 

Pic 1: A tired couple at the Eiffel Tower...Paris, France. They were getting ready for two events that week. The Tour de France was returning to Paris very shortly...so they were setting up barricades in the streets. And then there was Bastille Day....a day very similar to our July 4th. They were setting up for a concert in the square right infront of the Eiffel Tower. It was good that we got down there when we did, cause if we had waited later in the week, it would have made for some bad shots.

Pic 2: Another closer shot of Big Ben....London, England.

Pic 3: Tower Bridge in London, England. Again, we were stuck in town following the Tour de France. I guess this was the first time in quite a few years that the tour went though England. The cyclist actually went right across the Tower Bridge earlier in the morning. When we ventured out, they had just reopened the bridge for car and pedestrian traffic. Saw two TVR's cross the Tower Bridge....but was more standing there with my mouth hanging open....and forgot to snap pics.

Pic 4: The skyline of London, right next to the Thames River. I was interested in the giant Easter Egg looking building. Kinda looked like one of those Fabrege eggs.

Pic 5: Eiffel Tower in Paris....looking straight up from directly under the middle of the tower. Both Erica and I thought it was an interesting shot.

 

Pic 1: A shot of the outside of the Louve (an enormous museum) in Paris, France. A little overwhelmed by the size...but at least the admission price was reasonable. Initially, it seemed like the best deal we had seen in Europe. We were quickly slapped in the head when we realized none of the little information tags next to exhibits were in English. They were only provided in French, with no other translations. The English audio tour that was available, only covered less than 10% of the exhibits. So....we just walked around to take it all in, trying to find things that we noted as being "famous"....to us anyways.

Pic 2: The Louve.

Pic 3: Inside the Louve.

Pic 4: Another shot inside the Louve.

Pic 5: Venus De Milo statue...in the Louve. One of the things we realized, is that most of the stuff we had seen in our previous travels to Italy and Greece....were just copies. For some reason, countries place relics in the Louve, and then reconstruct copies of the relics at the actual historical sights. Interesting to think that when we were in Rome and Athens....back about 7 years ago...that most of the famous statues and things...were just really good copies.

 

Cesar i meant to say 215 not 15. ketih did you drive that way saturday how was it?

 

Yes I used it this weekend to go to Big Bear. It was awesome to go straight 210 to 30 to 330.....great. I even showed Nino a bit of how we drive when we cruise....says he will NOT be attending any of the meets. Glad you guys had a great meet.....sorry I missed it.

Hello Cesar.....sorry to hear about the tourney.

Keith your pictures are awesome. Makes me want to go to Europe.


Unreal.....was that you behind me yesterday on archibald going north.....around 4?

 

I did notice that there was no exit to the 215 south from the 210.....looks like they might be planning on putting one in.....not sure why they didn't.

 

i think that is the overpass that they seperated from the orginal construction, it will take another 2 years !!

I am ready to play tennis again everyone, how about this tuesday!?
