James, glad you got 129, but I could not figure out how to do it without bringing down the 10. JoeKayak's clue about bringing down the 10 and playing over the J gave me hope I could get 129 by bringing down the 10 and I finally figured it out with the red sevens clue from Robin.

You're welcome William. I found 130 early this morning, and then had to run some errands. When I came back this evening, I still was having a problem getting 129. Robin's clues about the red sevens is what did it for me.

Happy to oblige lilybelle, good night.

And, James, you are ending my day with a smile. Funny joke.
Good night everyone, sleep well and stay safe in this awful weather.

Tried again and did it. I played over the 8 9 9.

Mark, it's funny that when I played the way you describe, I get 130, when I played over the 10, 129.

Thank you Mark. This is the third game that had me stymied. I must be losing my touch.

For 129, 7 on 8, 7 on 8, bring down 10 on J...J, 9, 9, 10 play over.

Thanks Joe- that did it. Thanks to Robin and birthday boy who's exactly 58 days older than me.
