The race that stops the nation is upon us again.....I haven't gone out on a limb with my bets. I went the quinella with Master o'reilly and Purple moon. I put a little each way on Princess coup. I probably would have been better buying $30 worth of sugar! :D

I missed the race completely, was busy stripping my first rum. Even forgot to put a bet on luckily as it would have been om Master Orielly.

I was barman at the local RSL sub branch and got number 20 in the sweep - I think it's still running - and watched members get pissed. Shit, some of them drink a lot!!!!!

After that I went to a mates place in town and proceeded to have an ale or two myself. I was most successful in this endeavour and fortunately my wife was there to drive me home. :oops:

Tonight is Rock and Roll night at the Mechanics Institute Hall. I hope I can keep up the pace. 8)

Well, I kept up the pace but only just. Two hours of non stop rock 'n roll sure takes it out of one. Can't wait till next wed night. :) :) :)
