...caught up so that I would not have to worry about what I needed to do, as far as chips are concerned. So, I spent most of Sunday wrapping things up. The posts after this one should take care of that. The Chippers Football Contests 2nd Half results are posted. The 33 pool also hit on Sunday & that is posted. That is the end of the football contests for this year.

I also made a post about the Amazing Race contest.

I updated my Web site a day early, even though I will NOT be taking any chip orders, nor picking up any chips, for at least a month. I also listed the winners of the Holiday Contest & the answers to the 20 questions. The link to that page is at the bottom of this post. Once you get to that page, just scroll down to see who the winners are. The questions & answers are at the very bottom of that page. I will mail out the winners packages later this week.

I also had to take care of something downtown tonight & on my way home heard on the radio that The Palazzo had opened at 7 PM. This was at 8:30 & I was just about at the Spring Mountain off-ramp. Talk about lucky! I would not have gone to pick them up otherwise. It was not crowded at all & I was able to get in & out of there in 10 minutes with all the chips I wanted. A scan of the $5 Grand Opening is below along with a $1 house chip. I'm NOT taking orders on the Palazzo chips. I'm sure Chuck or some others will have plenty for those that need them.

The Palazzo did not do a regular $5 house chip for now. ALL of their $5 chips are Grand Opening chips. The cage manager told me that once they run low on $5 Grand Opening chips, that they will then order the regular $5 house chip. It will have the same artwork & layout as the $1 house chip below.

If I owe anyone any chips, they will go in the mail later this week. If you need to send me an E-Mail for any reason, please be patient as I will not be checking my E-Mail or the board very much over the next month or so.

And lastly....thanks to all who sent me well wishes in the thread from the other day. I hope everyone has a very Happy New Year!
