 Well, changing plans, as usual. The plan was to take the pieces of the shed up to the island today. But they aren’t done. Close, but not done.

Last night was poker in Olympia, but not at Curt’s place because he’s in Arizona watching spring training, or he’s in Palm Springs — where ever he is he’s chasing boys. Brian and Martin hosted — so we had a total of five players — Brian only plays where we play there (or sometimes on the road).

It was a good night at the poker table – $5 in folding money in the wallet and probably another $5 in change in the can. That should at least pay for the gas to and from! I brought a couple of bottles of Bonny Doon white wines — and we went through a bottle of Brian’s — but no hard liquor tonight. I wonder if that made the difference in my winnings.

I would have had scotch or whisky, but that damn roof — didn’t get out of the house to head south until 6:23pm — for a 7:30 game. No time to stop for booze — but I did have to make time to stop for gas. The readout said I had 15 miles left in the tank. Might have made it to their house, but might not have made it to the station afterwards.

Catching either the 3pm for 4:25pm ferry from Anacortes for dinner at the Campbells — ma, pa, and a son I’ve never met. Should be fun. Headed back home tomorrow.
