Six Days To Go!

Well it has been awhile since my lost post but things here on the old homefront got very busy last week and I think I must have caught a cold or something in Reno as I have not felt well since we got back. Spent all of last week working on a new Video Poker Strategy to try out in Las Vegas next week. The problem for this trip is that due to other "life" things popping up, I have had to use part of my gambling bankroll on other things.... Ouch. Thus I will have a short bankroll for my upcoming trip and will probably only be able to play up to the 50c level or maybe dollars. Still I feel very good about where my game is right now and confident that this is going to be a very good trip gambling wise. Let's hope so.

Last week I practiced so much that my hand starting hurting and I had to cut back on the practice time. I have not been out to the Great City since April and this is the longest period of time between trips for me in the past 15 years! Thus I wanted to make sure I made the most of it and I believe I finally have came up with something that is less risk but still has a great chance to take home some of the casinos money.

After working last night I now only have 4 more work days before vacation and believe me I'm ready. Hope the weather out there holds up as it is in the 70's with lows in the 50's right now which is fine by me. We are staying at Palace Station with my father in law and I have been thinking that we should ask for the " O.J. Simpson suite when we check in. Yes this is the hotel where he got busted for trying to steal back his stuff that he had lost due to the lawsuit. Wonder if the suite comes with gloves, blood spots and pictures of a White Bronco etc.?

On the home front have not really done much of anything due to feeling tired and worn down. Did watch the season finale of Mad Men. Oh my Don is getting married again! Liked it much better early in the season when he was on his own. It ended with it being June of 1966 so next season should be the start of the war and peace movements, sit ins etc. If you haven't watched it do yourself a favor and take a look someday. Great show and won the award for " Best Drama" again this year. One of only 4 shows that I watch on tv anymore.

The rest of this week will be spent trying to feel better, start to decide what to pack for trip and also of course practicing VP on the computer. Really hard to decide what to pack this time of year when you go out there. In summer and spring you know it is going to be hot and the packing is easy but fall and winter can be tricky. Friends of mine just got done with that problem as they left this morning for a 7 day trip. Oh my this is their 10th trip out there this year already and if they have a good trip they are booked for Thanksgiving Week. Wish I had the chance to go as often as they do. Oh well maybe after I win the lottery or some long lost uncle remembers me in his will!

Now it is time to get some work done and something to eat before dragging my tired ass back down to work. Why is it that the week right before vacation always seems to drag on the longest?
