NEVER SATISFIED
We're always taught to be grateful for the things we have. Well, when it comes to poker, I'm never satisfied. I had a really good chance to win a $0.55 90-person turbo sit-and-go on PokerStars, but instead I came in second. Second isn't bad, but it's not first. I won a little over $8 but had I come in first place, I would have won $12 which would have put me close to (if not over) the $100 bankroll mark. I think I played way too passive and should have taken some chances. Instead, I would fold almost everytime I was raised and that's not winning poker. Oh well, tomorrow's another day.
After lunch, I spent some time calling different manufacturers of remote controls. The TV upstairs had a giant remote but it died, so I wanted to see if a universal remote control could be programmed to operate not just the TV but the digital converter that is plugged into it.
Universal Remote Control said that as long as you have the old remote, their remote can be taught the same code. I wondered if that was true. Then I called Magnavox to see if they sold any remotes that could control the digital converter. They said that the digital converter does not have any codes and that other remotes can not be programmed to operate it. Sounds like a challenge to me! Is it worth it to purchase a universal remote control to see if it can be programmed? I didn't think so, so I just programmed the old cable remote from downstairs. It does everything that's needed; it turns on the tv and controls the volume.
Then I went for a bike ride to the local Korean market Super-H. I bought some carrots, celery, ginger and green tea. When I walked away, I realized I only picked-up the carrots and green tea. I went back to the aisle and asked if the celery and ginger were still there, but I think the people who were behind me picked it up by accident. They got some free ginger and celery while I had to go back and get the same items. They were cool about it, but heck, it was probably only two bucks.
I'm feeling like my endurance is pretty high right now, but the bike ride was still pretty tiring on my leg muscles. I noticed my left knee wasn't in pain though I could feel it tweak now and again. I wonder if the glucosamine and chondroitin supplement I'm taking is helping repair it? Does it repair or just help keep pain down? I don't know and maybe it's all placebo? I'll have to look at some of the studies.
Funny thing about last night. I made this small bet yesterday and accidentally chose the Trailblazers to beat the Spurs. But the fortunate thing was that the Blazers actually won! How lucky was that?
After the poker tourney, I filled-out a claim form to get $1.00 from my old auto insurance. The cost of a stamp makes me wonder if I should have even bothered. I wish there was a way to just donate it to the State of California or some kind of fund. Hmm, maybe I will try leaving a comment on the State's website about how they should allow people to donate money the State is just holding for them.
