Saturday started off pretty much the same as Friday. I was up fairly early - but I have no idea as to what time. Seems only like 1 or 2 guys wore watches to know the time. Rest of us didn't have them, and/or had shut off the cell phones for lack of service anyways. Doesn't matter in Mexico when you are on vacation! I figured I was up by 7:30'ish, and started the drinking where we left off. Once everyone was awake, we went to breakfast at JR's. This was my second trip to this restaurant, and I knew they had good food. I ordered up a ribeye steak with eggs and potatoes, then a country style omelette of sausage, peppers and potatoes, all covered with gravy. I ate heartily as I knew I probably would not see much food throughout the remainder of the day.
Back to the condo we go and start up the Doubles Tournament - double elimination, which again I didnot partkae of... there were 11 guys total, so I dropped. (Note: at this point my notes are very hard to read, and there is not much of them. I figured I was so drunk I couldn't hardly keep notes. So most of this is by memory)
The race for being the best was very competitive, though no blood was drawn this round. Again I showed my intelligence and luck by losing $10 on the damn game. The previous "Reigning Champs" came back from the Loser bracket to win the championship! Champions won a $10 pot as everyone had pitched in a buck. My $10 was from my damn pocket.
Honorable Mentions:
Second time Reigning Champs - Don & RedHead
Closest Score 16-10 - Bill & Jimmy (W) Beau & Jim (L)
Worst Score 16-4 - Bill & Jimmy (W) Don & RedHead (L)
Saturday night was spent out at the local hangouts for us. I finished off the second bottle once we got home. I remember at least laying down to sleep on the couch this time, but was awakened early by Jimmy and Crew getting ready to leave early (pre dawn). From there on I cat-napped until most everyone was up. The rest of the morning I spent reading while several went to breakfast. Then it was clean up and head out. As we left Rocky Point, it began to rain, which continued I presume, most of the way home. I know it was snowing when we reached Beau's. I was home by 5:30 and pretty much ready for bed. Of course, that rolled over into Monday morning as I had that busy day at work.
So that was my trip. Of course, there was many things said I can't relate on here... man-code and all, but it was a great trip to get out of town. And I spent less than $250 spending money!

My Mexico Trip - part 1
Friday morning started off bad. I was packed and ready to go, had everything I would need and more... couldn't find my wallet. I spent half an hour looking for it, before I found it - thirty seconds before my ride knocked on the door. My Wife laughs because I was near tears that I wouldn't be able to go to Mexico without my license and money. At this point I was ready to drink. We stopped and picked up three more people and headed to the west side where all were meeting at B's house. Beau's wife was the best, and had a big breakfast ready for those that wanted. Me? I settled for a Bloody Mary and tried to relax a bit. We finally were ready to hit the road a little before 9 am.
As we were leaving Phoenix, a rainstorm was on it's way in. We were rained on for about 45 minutes, and skies were clearing up southward by the time we made Gila Bend. Bathroom break at the McD's, then on south. Our next stop was at the Duty-Free store at the border. I did pretty good. I bought 2 1-liter bottles of Crown Royal for $18 each, and got a free Crown Royal backpack. Figured I could drink one bottle in Mexico, and bring one home. The other guys got smokes, and their brands of drink. One even had a shopping list for people back at work. Once out of there, of course it was our truck that got the inspection, but it only was a brief one, and we were back on the road within about 5 minutes. Rocky Point here we come!
We arrived at the condos, watching as the other truckload of guys were trying to figure out a workman's lockbox to get the keys. Don finally got the place open and we proceeded to "Salute" to Mexico, and set up for horseshoes. That's when the mouths starting spouting things I would never let my kids hear. Oh the bragging, the curses, the mean machinations of foul mouthery ... I believe Beelzebub was amongst us. I played it smart and did not play ( I am not one much for horseshoes) and so I kept track of the tournament.
As play began, and the drinks flowed, the chattering slackened off to jokes, or phrases like "Oh, that sounded good". The weather was nice with sun and the more we drink, the more it showed. One of the guys, Smitty, was trying to magic tricks - I don't know if he ever got one to work right. About that same time, Jan threw a horseshoe and hit the RedHead in the head, and the blood flowed. It was getting to be early evening as the tournament wound down. I lost $5 on the final round as Dan took the championship for single player double elimination. At this point we proceeded to head "downtown" to the Dunas, and spent awhile there before checking a couple other places out. By midnight wewere back at the condo, and I had already finished one bottle of Crown, and opened the second. So much for taking some home. I made it to the couch about 3am and slept sitting up (I forgot to lay down).
Mentionable notes of the tournament:
RedHead - gets 1st blood drawn and 1st guy eliminated
Dan - new reigning champ
Worst loss - 11-2 Beau (W) Don (L)
Closest game - 15-12 Jan (W) Joe (L)
More to come later...

Recent Links to here
I am back from Mexico, and no, no stories of jail-life there. The 12 of us made it safely, though not soberly, through our trip. I will post more tomorrow about that stuff. Today I am really busy playing catch-up on paperwork, but wanted to share the past days worth of links to here... some are okay, some are stupid, and somebody was desperate for something in particular...
banged at work by boss - I wouldn't want this one to happen....
heavy boobies at the football game - this actuallt seemed interesting...
These few were evidently the same person, so I am only seperating by a / mark -
granny gets banged/banged granny/granny banged/granny midget/midget porn
- pretty sick pervs out there...
use boobs to see if beer is cold - Cute! I give it the high five today!
heart murmur - definately not looking for this sight....
Anyways, there are the past few. Watch for upcoming posts of Mexico!
