Oh, Deer.. Happy New Year!

Headed for the casino tonight at 70mph, we came within a foot or two of slamming into three deer standing in the middle of the Interstate. I was surprised to see them out at 10:30pm. Maybe the full moon drew them out.
 
Lost $100 at the casino but had fun!

Off to bed.. Happy New Year!

I can remember...

I can remember, when I was a kid, thinking 21 was old and the year 2000 seemed so far away. Many thought we'd be driving flying cars by then.. seems little has actually changed over the years, even with yet another decade about to close.
 
We're gonna head to a casino tonight and usher in the new year (decade).. meanwhile, happy 2010!

Long Day Today

Everybody's sick here at the "ranch".. Misty took the kids  the doctor earlier.
 
Have some drama going on with the neighbors making noise, night after night, all night. Guess they came home a bit ago with music blaring and woke someone up. Cops got called. Part oliving in an apartment complex, I guess.

For Some Reason

For some reason, Misty got upset when I bought my new winter hat at the thrift store earlier today.

Casino

We dropped the kids off at their dad's for an overnite last nite and decided to go to the casino from there. Went into Bordertown with $70, played for almost 3 hrs and managed to leave with $60. From the we went to High Winds Casino.. didn't fare too well and quicklylost what we came with.
 
However, High Winds offers $5 free play for people signing up for their Player's Club card and I signed up for that and put my $5 into a Royal Reels slot, quckly got up to $25 at 50 cents, then hit for $37.50 at $1.25. Ended up leaving with $80.
 
Stopped in Joplin for Chinese at the China Wall..
