Cars & Gambling

I'm not talking the 2 of those together...but each on their own.

Mom traded her Corvette in yesterday. She had an 02 Yellow Coupe...now, she's got a 06 Silver Convertible. I havent seen it yet - they got back late last night. She found it in Grapevine, Tx. So, I'm about to head over there and see it & take some pictures. Now, like the rest of the family, she has XM radio! :)

This means that everyone in the family has traded their car in this year.
February: '00 Corvette Convertible --> Acura RL
June: '99 Taurus --> '05 Explorer
August: '02 Spyder --> '06 325i
October: '02 Corvette --> '06 Corvette

The insurance company is loving it, you know...

Gambling...
For the first time.. EVER..I put $ down on a football game and baseball game. Lost it on the football game. I had (only) $12 down on Tech to beat Nebraska by 4. They beat them by 3. Thats ok, we won no matter what.
Also, had $10 down on the Astros to win by 2...they did...and I more than doubled my money.
Now, the money is riding on today's Miami game and Astros game. I didnt play any point spread, just that they would win...maybe I'll do ok. If I can make my original $ back, I'll be happy - then I'll let the excess ride on the next Astros game...
Won $5 in Texas lotto last night too! Yeah, its missing about six zeros...but thats ok, eventually it'll be there.

GO 'STROS!!
