Easy to Assemble

Those 3 words scare me. Yep easy to assemble. What they really mean is if you have incredible patience, superior assembly skills you might be able to put the thing together. If not you are driven to drink. I personally think that some of the reason I have no hair is because of those words (having kids was another but that's a whole different post).

When they were passing out the skills on putting things together I must have somehow missed the assembly line because I really have none. Zip , Zero, Zilch. I can screw a lightbulb in but even some of those new ones cause me sleepless nights.

So today with spring coming we needed new patio chairs. Of course they don't come assembled. You have to it all yourself. What happened to the day when you could just see it, buy it and take it home. Now you need a degree in engineering to do anything. Of course this box had those famous words on it. I could feel the stress coming. The box is opened and everything is numbered. Well sort of. It actually only took about an hour to put the 2 chairs together. Stop laughing. If you ever need a handyman don't call me. I am of no use. I guess when all other guys were doing construction I was too busy playing sports. When somebody suggests we go to Ikea to me that's like going to the dentist. Its scary as hell as at Ikea you assemble everything. I am so glad there isn't one on the island. I am sure my life span would be shortened.

Not muck poker yesterday although I did play one of those 90 player bounty things that my son had been playing. I did manage to cash and came in 8th. Took 2 bounties. Top 9 pay and I was pretty short stacked at the final table and with just me and the BB I pushed with A8. He called. What did he have? A 8 of spades. We both turned a straight and he rivered a flush. Figures.

The only other hand of note was I was dealt AA in the BB. I think we were down to about 40 then. The UTG raised. Next guy to him reraised him. I am sitting in the BB liking this. Everybody folds to me and I throw in a another reraise. UTG folds and the next guy jams all in. I of course call. What does he have?? AA. Yep we both had the pocket rockets. The board blanks with no flushes and we chopped. I count that as a win with Aces.

Game 1 tonight at 5PM . Go Canucks Go

Aces 4/9
