Welcome back. So I was out in Vegas again, this time for the Binford Tools Vegas spectacular. They decided to throw it this year at Treasure Island. And let me tell you, it's definitely a treasure alright. The amount of plastic surgery I saw must have cost a kings ransom. Mix in some of the biggest tools that Binford has to offer and you've got yourself one hell of a weekend.
One of the Binford reps Mike had probably the best term I've heard of. It's "Bro-douche." That's right Bro-douche. If you fall into that category you are likely to have a lovely dime piece attached to you arm to which everyone will ask "Seriously...him with her?" It's just membership into that exclusive club that gives you that lovely lady. Still trying to figure out how that happens or get some clarification from the rules committee as to why that's happening.
Besides the bro-douche, the wildlife was out and about in full force. Some shouldn't have been let out of their cages, where as others well were trying a little TOO hard, but it's Vegas.
I spend my endorsement money on the craps table mostly. I thought I was going to catch a nice heater to double it up, but that was to no avail.
All in all it was a great event put on by Binford like usual.

May's Ask Al
Time for the monthly installment of Ask Al. I'm your host Al Borland.
Lets get to that mail bag. First question from Ever Heard of A Debit/Credit Card in Fairfax, VA. He asks " Are their really people out there who don't have the concept of what a Debit or Credit Card is?"
We Ever Heard, unfortunately yes. I just happened to get stuck behind a moron like that. I was at the local Wegmans getting my weeks worth of groceries. The lady in front of me decided that she wanted to buy out Wegmans (about a $300 bill). Of course she her information is a little off and the 6 forms of id that she needs for a check are just taking forever to get straight. So the manager comes over about twice. Meanwhile I start a conversation with the other unlucky sole behind me about well the 21st century and things called credit or debit cards. It was like those Visa or Mastercard commericals where the place is running smoothe until some yutz decides to pay with cash or a check. Remember folks checks are meant for paying rent and bills, not food at your grocery store.
I wish we had more time, but since this fool decided to kill my time with a check I'll have to cut this months segment a little short.
Thanks for watching this months Ask Al, I'm Al Borland for This New House.

Season 1 Recap
So season 1 is over and well it got the re-up.
As most of you know, when I first took this gig I was expecting it to be an absolute shit show. (See posts from last May) But as it would be, it petered out. What I thought was going to be a match made in Hell with me being confined to my room, has actually turned out to be a pretty decent living arrangement. I might not have been like my old apartment, but it has been nice. So when the chance to re-up came around I took it. For what I have, I can't complain. Let's hope for another solid year, although some material would be nice.
