My wife came home from work, her car sporting a newly cracked windshield.  Apparently where she parked her car on the street near her job was not the place to park today!  The windshield was fine when she left the house; not fine when she got in it to drive home!  We don’t know what happened while it was parked out on the street!  Well, thankfully our insurance will cover cracked windshield repair! 

I started building a 2004 GTO model this week.  I’m not sure I knew what I was getting into!  I knew I was going to detail it quite a bit, but I didn’t expect there to be so many details of suspension!  I worked on the undercarriage for almost a whole day, or it seemed like it, anyway!  Just after I painted.  I almost painted the body bright red.  I think it is really going to come out nice.

My wife loves to shop with coupons! Every Sunday she is clipping coupons from the paper to use when we go shopping.  I often tell her she is crazy spending all of that time clipping coupons, but she does save about ten dollars every week with them, so maybe she’s not so crazy! 

There is a great website that offers coupons and discount deals that we look at frequently to see if there is something that we should take advantage of before we go out shopping.   I like the convenience of shopping over the Internet.  The website is www.1-coupons.com.

The website often has a Discount Promotional Code for items that we want to buy, which helps save quite a bit of money. 

With Mother’s Day coming up, I’ll be checking it out for deals and discounts on things that would make good Mother’s Day gifts.  That site is a wonderful resource for deals on lingerie, flowers, and ice jewelry, all of which make great Mother’s Day gifts! I have to buy gifts for my wife, my mother, and my aunt for Mother’s Day, so I consider it to be a bonus if I can find coupons and discounts on the gifts that I buy!

I bought a new hood for my show truck the other day.  I had to order it, it hasn’t come yet but it is supposed to be here any day.  I made sure to ask them twice where it was coming from because if it was coming from Mexico I was going to order from a different company.  I’d seen one previously like it and the lines were really straight and the hood had a 2″ lift to it; which gives it a deeper style and better looking than most of the hoods that come out of Mexico.  It will be a major addition to my truck!  I can’t wait to get it!

I’ve read several articles about some MIT students that made some teams of card counters that beat the odds in several Las Vegas Casinos. A book, titled “Bringing Down the House” by Ben Mezrich was written about their achievement.   After the book was published, a movie called “21″ starring Kevin Spacey was produced that was based on the book.

Those MIT students developed a software program that helped them beat the odds, and the online gaming company, Backgammon Masters Online, has decided to put the program to the test and see how well it works for their customers who play their online backgammon games. 

When personal computers first came out I avoided them like the plague!  I thought that there were awkward and complicated until the computers changed from DOS to Windows.  Then they got pretty easy to use, and I started buying computer games to play on them and I found that I really enjoyed playing computer games.  

Not long after the Internet was created, gaming websites popped up.  These websites offered a large variety of games. Some were were gambling sites that cost money to play and offered cash prizes; others were free sites created just for entertainment. Some examples of the gambling games are spades, poker blackjack, and backgammon.  My wife has never learned how to play backgammon; I’m thinking about teaching her how to play it.  That would give us a little bit more variety in the games that we play in the evenings.
