Plasma TV Blog

Some people think that all I do is sell Plasma TVs all day long. Well yes and no. I am a big golf fanatic who loves to take a 4 hour lunch and hit the links. I keep score of the PGA tour and my favorite pros. I have the best golf equipment available, well that I can afford. There are a lot of space-age technology irons and putters out there that I think are made for the CEOs who love to compete for the best stuff. There are about 5 of us that get together on the 3rd friday of every month and shoot 18 holes. The loser buys the first round of brews at the country club. We love to chat about new golf articles we have read too. We don’t always talk about golfing, well most of the time anyhow. Just last friday, Drew ( names have been changed to protect the innocent) made a sweet shot that he ended up making an eagle on the 10th hole. He was so ecstatic, his cell phone came out of his pocket and we saw he had auto-dialed his office by mistake back at the 8th hole. His office now had the call on voicebox hearing him at the golf course and skipping out on work. Ruh roh. Not good.

But nothing happened about that, since he had dirt on his boss when he met him at the country club bar last summer. Seems we all hide some golf secrets at the office. But its all in good spirit since its a fun and social sport/ recreation we love to enjoy together. No rivalries that I can think of. We don’t care about score. We only keep it to track our progress. Maybe I will share more another time.

Have you started seeing the news with pictures of snow and rough weather coming? I check my news here every night and now I see some locals going out and buying new vehicles in order to deal with the snow and icy weather coming. I have an old honda that needs some work, especially new tires and so I might just go ahead and get a whole new ride. Why not? With the cost of tires and a tune-up, on an old vehicle, its just not worth it especially if it seems like more mechanical work is ahead. I am thinking about a truck with some all-weather tires to help me get around town in the snow. My pick is a GMC, they still have a strong name and their service department here has some recent awards. I am looking at some ads for the GMC Envoy and liking what I am seeing so far. It has better fuel economy and better traction control system now. I found it on a new truck forum and information site.

There is nothing like the feeling of being protected in the cold weather. I need a bit more money to get the truck, but it feels like Christmas came late at my house. I am in such a good mood just thinking about getting something new. The ole Honda is going to be put up for sale in the classifieds. It served me well but its gotta go sometime. Time to grab a celebratory beer and check the Trailvoy site for some more stats on mah new truck.

There is a local club nearby my house that meets together every Wednesday to do battle. This kind of battle is among friends, competitive friends who unlike most combatants, are happy for the other’s success. These are some tough old ladies who wear a staunch grin and listen intently for each number called. That’s right these are some Bingo ladies and Wednesday is their time to play. They have such a serious mood about such a fun and social game. These ladies have been doing this for 13 years now. But some of them are getting older and are finding it difficult to drive to the meeting site. So one of the younger ones had an idea to get together online in a Private Online Bingo website and continue their game. What a great idea, since now they can all chat and enjoy like before without having to leave their houses.

They even got a Ventrilo headset setup to all talk and chat just like they are right next to each other! These ladies are getting high tech and having a great time. Bingo is now a leading cause for social gatherings, but for some people getting together is difficult. Online Bingo makes this easier for these people. I like the peace and quiet on Wednesdays now, since they are not next door, screaming and cheering until late at night. They are probably still enjoying their Bingo, but now its online.
