Boy was that fun. Last Friday just as I was getting ready to head out for the weekend I saw them. There were a few ants. Not really sure where they were coming from and could not tell where they were heading. I had no choice but to head out and deal with them when I got back after the weekend.

Oh My Gosh there were a lot of them when I got back. Not like a million in on place or anything but still. Having taken my computer down with me over the weekend I decided to not hock it back up and get some work done. I knew if I hooked it up the temptation of bloging would be to great.

Well finally after midnight Wednesday (so early Thursday) I finally hooked the computer back up. So are the ants gone. I thought I did pretty good but you know, I just looked and they are again crawling on the power cord for the computer. Arg!!!!

Any thsi weekend was fun. I went to the Detroit area to celebrate my birthday once again. Cake, ice cream, BBQ, swimming, and prizes later it was time to head off for the evening entertainment. First up the Hard Rock Café in Detroit. The music was very enjoyable, the place was nice but you know what... it was the person that waited on us the made this a very enjoyable evening. She was so funny and observant and witty and went along with things like a trouper. We were held up waiting for two cousins to show up. We were there probably over an hour waiting. Well she asked some questions and when they showed up she said ah Paul is here now, we can get started. A little while later the manager showed up with a drink and said “here is your drink Paul” and a few other staff did similar things. Paul is the kidder so he was having a good time with it to.

In the end it was super and the best time I have ever had at a restaurant ever. Oh and I ended up with a nice tasteful Hard Rock Café Detroit shirt too. What more could one ask for.

Next up a short stroll on the streets of Detroit and we were at the Greektown Casino. Now I have never been in a casino before. There were machines and people EVERYWHERE. It was something else. Maybe it was because it was 7/7/ 07 which was suppose to be lucky. Anyway I wander every which place and then plunked myself down at the penny slots. Yes I am a big spender. I hate to gamble since I know it is far more likely the house will win and I will lose.

I was spending between 1 cent to 20 cents per push on the slots and sometimes I did OK, other times not so good. I still have no clues on what payed off sometimes. Final results, I was down $5.00 after 1 hour of play and that was only because I was trying to bet bigger at the end since some of our party WAS READY TO GO pretty early. Video poker was not kind to them. I am not going to get addicted or anything but I can see myself going back. Oh SignGurl...

Oh and by the way, I felt out of my element at the casino otherwise I might just have sat there and people watched. I mean there were ladies with tons of tattoos all the way through people in fairly nice suits. Heavy people, skinny people, tall people, short people, oh and a ton of people watching the Detroit Tigers play and win their baseball game in the 13th inning. The place went crazy for a second when that happened. I thought someone hit a huge jackpot. I am sure if I were to look around a little more I could have found just about anything there.

Sunday was much more low key but I got to visit with the folks a little before heading home and dealing WITH THE DREADED ANTS. I do have a few pictures I should take and post. Maybe I will do that after the 55Flash. Tonight I am off to a baseball game. It is Thirsty Thursday where the beer (and pop) are much cheaper. Who ever heard of a $2.00 beer at a baseball game even though this is a minor league game? Oh yes, tonight should be fun.
