Old ASU Tablet: Below Zero for 35 Hands in A Row

These are pages from a tablet used around my senior year of high school, mostly in 1990. One page here is clearly dated November, 1990 - my freshman year of college.

Did I crush Alicia and Riley (Snook) at this game of Uno or get beat really bad? I'm not sure.

I had to do a little school work.

When both pairs are over 30 below zero in a game of Double Euchre, you know it's going to be a long one.

It was! And if I counted correctly, Jamie and Debbie were below zero for 35 straight hands!

19 Thanksgiving Breaks ago. I'm glad to say I've communicated with all five of these people in the past two weeks.

In some earlier posts I referred to this game as Bid Euchre. I think we actually called it Double Euchre. We did bid though.

My friend Brent and I were just reminiscing about some of our crazier high school escapades. I don't think this evening got too out of hand. We're playing Bid Euchre against my mom and grandmother.

I wonder who won the championship - and what he was champion of.


This is a running record for a text based Apple II computer game. It lists which play each side (me and the computer) called.


Probably figuring out a video game average.


These are the stats from one of those computer football games.

This was a research report I wrote in high school on co-ed college dorms. It seems like the report was actually for a business class taught by Mr. Troyer.

My Of Mice and Men report.

I'm pretty sure I only read the Cliff Notes.

I wrote this draft in cursive, but the co-ed dorm draft in print.

I don't think it was a very good report.

The conclusion.

I think I was adding up my hours of work at Nappanee's Radio Shack.

This looks like it is notes from a text based golf game for my Apple IIc.

Bid Euchre. Jeanie (my mom,) Evelyn Culp (my Grandma Culp) Violet Newcomer (Grandma Vi,) Fred Culp (Grandpa Culp) and me. I played quite a bit of cards with my grandparents as a teenager. I sure miss all three of them.


Same people as above, minus my Grandma Vi, plus (I'm guessing) Esther Metzler - Grandma and Grandpa Culp's good friend. She was a teacher in Nappanee for a long time.


My sister and I had the same first and last name, so I think I'm SG for my first and middle name and she's SL for her first and middle name. J is my mom, Jeanie. R is Renee Rogers, my cousin who had moved to Arizona at this point.

Renee Rogers signature when she was 15.

This is a diagram about something that happened at school. The people included in the diagram are likely Alicia Templeton, Anthony Taylor, Tad Gongwer, Stacey Hochstetler, Eric Dudzinski, Jill Hunsberger and Daric Leinbach. It look like it was a pretty exciting event!

Through a few Google searches, I'm going to assume this is the single note I took from Faulkner's "The Sound and the Fury." However, I have absolutely no recollection of ever reading that novel (or the Cliff Notes.) Who knows?

Probably from a game of bid Euchre. Jay Crain, Brent Warren, Mike Carrich and me.

This is a note from when either Brent or I were on the phone with a girl the other liked.

Probably the same as above.

This one is really weird. I have no idea what these dates might have been.

The red hot is gone.

An early game of Drop the Marker.

Notes for a text based football game on my Apple IIc.

I was thinking about buying a Notre Dame basketball season ticket package. I bet this was in the fall of 1988.

Algebra

Another weird one. I have no idea.

I think this might be in reference to the Midas Muffler shop in Mishawaka. I distinctly recall I took a car there for warranty muffler work and they tried to rip me off for $800 worth of other work that "needed" to be done on the car. I took the car to Waky Auto Repair who said nothing else needed to be done. I called Midas headquarters in Chicago (I believe) and complained. They were very cordial and asked me to send the receipt in for the repair at Waky Auto. Shortly thereafter I received a check back in the mail from Midas corporate for the full price of the repair (which should have been covered under warranty at the Midas shop.)

I was making fun of a school mate that Brent liked.

Or would she say, "Hi . . . " nah, I'm too old to make those jokes anymore.

Some of my family members still called me "Stever" in high school. My friends teased me with "Stever Beaver," which got shortened to Beaver.

I'm clearly on the phone with the girl that Brent likes.

I think we were major pests to Shelly, although Brent did end up dating her for a time.

Sure you will, Steve.
