THANK YOU !!!!

Thank you to all, thus far. My contention (as skip) was to peel the guard.
My 'boys' requested that I play a tap_back on the yellow in the rings. I
told them they were dreaming or smoking ... and that any self respecting
curler would peel the guard (a REAL curler would rip the guard with
out_turn, make the double on run back, and perhaps even leave the red
shooter as a corner on top of red in the rings :) None_the_less (maybe I'm
drinking and /or smoking as well with that wish), the guard has to go.

Are there ANY contenders to that theory out there ?? If so, I wanna hear
your rationale for playing something other than ripping the guard.
