Checked the mail and we both had flyers from the casino, mine said "We Missed You", here's $50.00 for you to use in April. Becky had $25.00 on her account. I played $40.00 of my "free" money and left the casino with an extra $48.00 in my pocket..........minus $18.00 for chow. Still, not too bad, guess we should stay away longer the next time.
Local gas is $3.98 a gallon at one of the truck stops. Everyplace else they're averaging about $4.07. Guess I'll start checking Craigs List for an older, cheaper to drive, vehicle. Found one the other day on line at Willows, about 30 miles south, a 1994 Toyoto Tercel they were asking $1,500.00 for it and advertised "cold A/C". Might be worth checking into.........I'm sure they'll take less $$$s then they're asking.
Man it's COLD and we're freezing our butts off........and the wind makes it worse. I've been wearing a light jacket ever since we got home.
As you can see, got internet hooked up and my MTV going so we're in business for awhile. Becky just went over to our friend's house to visit; but, I opted not to go. Our friend, Judy, lost her husband while we were in Arizona so it's nice for her to go visit her buddy. Judy mowed our yard while we were gone and checks on the house from time to time so Becky has been saving up books for Judy..........they both like to read those "dime" novels.
Got to Woodland Friday and stayed at the Fairgrounds. Had steak dinner at Rhonda and Steve's Friday evening. Then they went shopping on Saturday for Bryce...........his BD is coming up next weekend so we'll be chugging back down the road again Friday or Saturday. I had to visit Cache Creek casino while they shopped..........was getting beat up pretty badly and finally recovered all but $18.00 so felt lucky to minimize my losses and get the heck out of there. This casino brings them in by the busloads loads from Sacramento.........there were more chinamen there then you would find in Hong Kong.
Saturday evening Steve and Rhoda were invited out for a little get together at their "farmer" friends house so Becky and I were invited to tag along. Their friends, Bob and Natalie, just purchased a race horse so they were kinda celebrating. Bob is quite the bow hunter and bagged a moose with bow and arrow in Wyoming..........he cooked up moose steaks and ducks. We ate, and ate and then ate some more. Both the moose and duck were excellent! I think the moose steaks were better than buffalo.
Had breakfast at our favorite diner this morning and then headed home after I stuffed myself on Don's Diner gravy, biscuits, eggs and sausage..........hard to beat Don's gravy! Well, gotta turn up the heat and see what's on the tube. Later. W&B
