Two of a kind…beats a Straight?
My direct TV dish is now once again up and running. I was doing a little yard work and somehow a tree branch hit the thing and got it out of whack. Installing the direct TV dish a few years ago was "fun and games". It only took me three months to get the thing dialed in with the thing way out in space. I was trying to match this angle and that then run inside to see if there was a signal.
The instructions stated that it’s a simple hour job and any child can do the task. Well the majority of adults are not children and I happen to fall into a minority, a slightly forgetful adult. So after wacking the dish we lost communications with the outside world, no TV! It’s hard to be unplugged, you come away with many questions once you reconnected.

That’s right, even here in the back woods many folks are glued to the TV watching the new crazze’ Texas Hold ‘em’. The only thing better is fall weekends with smash mouth football.

But in Poker on TV, you can get all over a guy whose bluffing with two –2’s which in the long run is the same as throwing a pass to the wrong color jersey.

With us back on the dish our TV watching has very much improved. The only thing I have to do now is to ask Rosebud to watch Desparate Housewifes on the set up stairs that has rabbit ears so I can dial in poker on our set connected to the dish TV and watch …
"and I raise you five hundred thousand."
