After my debacle last week, I hoped to make up some lost money over the weekend. Unfortunately, I played 2 $11 sng's, which put me $22 in the hole. I am not sure why I played them, as I am not a good tourney player. I usually do play them on the weekend, so I guess that is why, and I figured that if I hit one, I could make back a big chunk. I did flop a straight flush with a probability of 1 in 230,414 or odds of 230,413:1 against. I did win some money on that hand as well. Overall though, I played many hours and netted only $12.00 for the weekend. On
Sunday night, I realized that I had spent too much time playing poker for too little money while I left unattended many other useful endeavors, so I imposed a 2 day poker hiatus. So far into the hiatus I have played 1 hour and won $36.00.

I built a bbq table on Saturday. It actually turned out pretty good, considering my lack of building skills. I will put the table to good use this weekend when I smoke a pork butt for our cookout. I bought an injection syringe for the elk I plan to smoke in July, and I think I will inject the pork but this weekend, just for a change
