Sherri had to go to work this morning so we were both up at 5:00 am. Sherri made the coffee this morning while I was trying to wake up. She went back to bed to catch another few minutes of sleep. A few minutes is what she caught too. It seemed like just a second or two and her alarm went off…this time she had to get up. We poured our coffee and visited for a while. We discussed what I needed to do for the Pink things in the trailer. So I got instructions on what needed to be done.
Sherri left for work about 6:30 and I had to get started on all the prep work to get the trailer ready for our move. Everything was going real good until I went around to check the water lines in the service bay. I notice that my exhaust pipe had come loose from the mounts. This meant that I had to stop doing all the prep work and fix the bracket before we could do anything else. I did get it fixed and then went back to getting the house ready for the move.
Sherri got home about 12:30 and she checked out my work. Of course I had not got it all done due to the repair on the exhaust pipe but what I did get done passed. Well should I say with C’s not A’s. She has her way of doing things and it is best if I let her do them but when she is working and we have to get done by a certain time I try to help out.
We were headed to Shreveport La. today and we had planned on being gone by 2:00 at the latest. I put the last few items in the bed of the truck and hooked up the house looked at the clock and it was just after 1:00. How is that for bringing a plan together.
We were soon on the road and the old GPS said that our arrival time would be 4:30…and sure nuff we pulled into the Diamond Jack Casino RV Park at 4:30. We got ourselves checked in and then it was time to make plans for dinner. Where would we eat and what. We had planned on fixing something at the house but Sherri having worked most of the day and with the move we decided to catch the Old Folks buffet at the casino.
Here we are in site #19
The train track is behind us and we hear the rumble of the train now and again
The buffet turned out to be real good…for me… but I don’t know if everyone was as impressed with it as I was. I am not a picky eater and most everything taste good to me so I am not to hard to please. We finished our meal and then went to the casino to pay our homage to the Casino Gods. I really didn’t do that bad. I played for several hours and won and lost at an even rate. When all was said and done I was down $6.00 but had that much fun. I always say if you have fun and it cost you money then you weigh the fun to the money you spent having it and see if it feels good…I felt good.
Sherri was not having as much fun as I was but she was doing OK. We were both tired and decided to call it a night. We found Leslie…she was sipping a White Russian and winning. What more could a person ask for. We told her that we were headed back to the house. She offered to go too but we had already agreed whoever wanted to leave first would not expect the others to leave also. That is the rule Sherri and I play by if you ever go casino hopping with us. We all do our own thing and we do not expect the folks with us to follow our lead.
Sherri and I got back to the house and set down to read our emails before we went to bed. I got on chat for a short time and said Hi to my friends on line. Then it was time to call it a night and we were ready. We had so much fun today and we know that tomorrow will hold more of the same…

Not too bad when you can entertain yourself and have a good time for $6. Can't even go to a movie for that today. Looks like a nice spot.
$6.00, that quite big for you.
Have fun. That's all that matters.
That Speedy !!! The last of the big time spenders!!!!!!
$6.00? That's a whole lot cheaper than spending a few hours in Walmart!
