Just Saying Hi

Well, with my inability to afford a laptop that I want yet, I setup my home PC at my GF's place. It is hard for me to balance the things I want with the things I need to do. So sadly I am going to wait about 6 months before I look at getting a laptop as I will have my car paid off. While I could technically afford a laptop, it would eliminate my entire savings account, and I like having that safety net.

I will be heading back on the road later today, pulling an all night run somewhere. I really don't like taking these kind of loads because they really screw up my sleep schedule. It is impossible for me to basically go back to sleep after I just got up from a solid 10hrs, so tonight is going to be tough. But that is the way it goes sometimes, up all day, and then have to drive all night to be somewhere the following morning.

My dad enjoyed our trip to Reno so much he wants to goto Las Vegas this summer, so I promised him we would go.

Well I have a few things to get done, and I am going to try and take a nap. Talk to you all later.

Were Back From Reno!!!

Well my dad and I are back from Reno, NV where we spent 3 days and 2 nights on a father/son gambling trip to the Silver Legacy Casino. We both had a great time and left Reno with alot more than we started with. We each decided to set our gambling limit to $200 per day, but from the very begining we didn't need to touch the remaing $400. Blackjack tables on the first day were pretty good to me and so-so for my dad, I made $300 and my dad cleared about $100. But that was the last time the blackjack tables were kind to either of us. Our redemption was the Craps tables. Over the 3 days I racked in an impressive $1250 and my dad brought in another $600.

We also played other games like Keno while eating our meals, and some slots, and some off-track horse betting. While we were looking to get in on a game of Texas-hold'em there were only 2 tables working and both had waiting lists over 1 hr. Needless to say we didn't wait for that.

After everything was said and done, and all expenses paid and losses accounted for, my dad made $400 profit and I made $850. It was a great to spend time with my dad for a change and even better that we won a respectable amount of money doing it. I can't wait for our next trip.

This was the first time I have really played Craps, and it has become my new favorite game. But all good things must come to an end, and my time off is over on Monday and it is back to work.
