[Good Saturday, all.
Too windy to do a lot of outdoor activities today. It does move stuff around, and yard waste tends to collect where the wind drops it. That makes it easier to collect all of it. But the fire danger (Will Robinson!) is approaching bad news levels. Dry, dry, and more dry. That's the forecast. We could be in for a season of haze and smoke from fires that can't be avoided unless we get some precipitation soon. Standing by to stand by. I am very grateful for...]

[Good Tuesday, all.
Time for some yard work, and Elm seed collection. Those Elms are so prolific. The one saving grace is that being a desert, it is dry enough to collect the seeds before they have the chance to germinate. They would take over. They're trees and we're only humans. They don't get bored or lose interest in the task at hand. They just grow, cause issues, die, and cause more issues. The cycle of trees is brutal as one gets older. I am very grateful for...]

FrisperCat, thank you for playing the 5-Number game for the first time. Anybody playing the game for the first time should be intimidated. If not, I'll have to go and create another bizarre game feature. I've done it in the past, and as they say, "Don't make me turn this car around!" (LOL). * Your posted points of 5,374,879, slims down to 74,879 in the 5-Number game. A Pair of 7s, w/ a 9 kicker. In the 6-Number game, the 374,879 comes into play. The 7-Number game includes all your numbers. And the 8-Number game is an expansion idea for those looking to break the 10M Total Points mark. Until someone does, the highest 7-Number hand will prevail. The prize? A big pile of mythical cash. It's sitting there on the poker table. Just had the place painted, so if you like, play again. Questions? * Regards.

Good Morning Driving! I discovered your blog/website from your profile here at GBO and investigated it thoroughly - and it's where I found all the info on this Poker game Just didn't find the actual forums here until yesterday when I realized I'd started some myself that I hadn't visited because they weren't book marked *~* Anywayz *~* today's initial total points: 5,376,579 so a 5 Number hand = 76,579 still doesn't look any better than yesterday with a pair of 7s & a 9 kicker & a 6 Number hand = 376,579 doesn't look any better than the 5 card hand, but & a 7 Number hand = 5,376,579 now we're talking two pair with 7s & 5s with a 9 kicker does that look right - or do I get to PICK out the 5 numbers from the whole point total? - I'm not a BIG poker player but I know the hands, just not the lingo such as Wichita Lineman, Quilt, Bewilderment, Motel, Duplex, Stooges, or Laser Wrap - that might take me a long time to fathom but I also enjoy a different game than just counting up, down, backwards, etc and the name games .... although I am enjoying the classic rock and rock songs from 1955-85, even if I get a little caught up into listening to all the songs in order to post my fav I may not be in here *every* day - but will make an effort to stop in so it's not so quiet - welcome to Senior Citizenship - however, I haven't found enough discounts to make me feel better about hitting the double nickel!

FrisperCat, for example, between 5,374,879 (05/17) and 5,376,579 (05/18) you earned 1,700 points. GBTPP doesn't assume or limit the order of how you earned your points. * Example: You report a gas price (200 pts), read a news story (25 pts), comment on the story (100 pts), and you complete a "Report 1 Diesel fuel price" challenge (200 pts). A total of 4 activities for 525 points. You have the option of posting your poker hand using whichever points value gives you the best hand. Using the spreadsheet format allows the easiest and most complete listing of the available hands. I'm not listing the 16 possible hands, but can say that some nice 5-number hands were embedded in there. There is some exploration required to maximize the experience, and the winning hands table will help with winning hand identification. It took years to refine the game to where it is now. It will take some time to understand. Regards.

Slim pickings posting 6-number hands in the 7-, 8-Number games. Some days are like that. No matter how it looks, there's a nugget in there somewhere. More digging is required on some days than others. The games continue. I am very grateful for...]
