Cabins, Footballs, and Cars, Oh My!!

Today, I had the first of my 5 fantasy football league drafts this season. This draft took place in a log cabin at Oak Run in Dahinda, IL. What an absolute dream house! It sits right on the lake, and was built to be a summer house. This place probably has enough room to accommodate 20 lodgers - and that doesn't include the couches and floorspace. It was the perfect place for a football draft. Hell, it was the perfect place for just about anything!

The draft was supposed to have taken place at 1:00, but one of our owners(I won't say who, but he knows who he is!) was nowhere to be found. We gave him a call, and he dropped the bombshell that he had thought the draft was next weekend. Great! He wasn't even on the way! He hurried up and got ready, but as the cabin was over a half hour away from Peoria, the draft didn't start until after 2:00. Eventually he showed, and after we gave him a bunch of crap, we had a great draft. We've even scheduled next year's draft already at the same place - however next year, we'll be making a weekend of it - fishing and boating and whatever else we want to do. It should be a great time!

My day wasn't all good times however, because when on my way home, my car started acting up. My battery light turned on, I lost my power steering and air conditioning, and was still 30 miles from home. Luckily though, the car was functional enough for me to make it home. I looked up the problem on the internet, and it seems that the A/C, power steering and the alternator for my car run off of the same belt. Hopefully, when I bring my car into the shop tomorrow, they'll tell me that's all I need to replace and that it's not too expensive. Keep your fingers crossed for me - I need all the luck I can get!!
