Morning, peoples. Day 2 in Seminar land. Boss last night was drunk, set on gambling, and wanted company. I repeated I can't afford to gamble, so he decided to bankroll me at blackjack. Proceeded to win about $500 for him and he gave me $100 bucks for it. Now I'm scared. This is how the gambling bug bites you

My Grandfather went to California and then Las Vegas with my parents to visit family. They flew home out of Las Vegas. My Dad was telling me about Gramps in the Casinos. He looked at all of that stuff like it was a rattlesnake and wanted nothing to do with any of it.

So they're coming home, and Gramps had a silver dollar he had gotten as change somewhere. So at the gate in the airport he told Mom, "What the heck" and shoved it in a slot machine. He hit for several hundred dollars.

He looked at Mom and asked her "Why didn't you tell me it was this easy? I would have played them!"

LOL. Dad said they didn't have the heart to tell him. Figured it was just better to let him be mad at them.

Being a multiple time visitor and “depositor” to LV, I can truly say it’s never that easy. However, if you go in expecting to win, you 99.9% of the time, won’t. If you go in without any expectations, it’s surprising how lucky you can sometimes get. On our last trip, while sitting next to my wife, just keeping her company, I hit $1,200 on a game I had never played before and quite frankly, didn’t even know what the game was. I just fed my $100 in and kept pressing “Max Bet”. Didn’t even know I had won until my wife noticed the flashing light.

Pork butt and potatoes.

Spending the day shorting 30k volts to ground every 30 seconds or so. Set up the power supply/HV line and a ground and can hear it arc every time it cycles.

Working on a Big outage? I always love hearing that arc.
Nevermind, just seen you answered it already.

Burn pits work too.

I've disposed of three full grown deer carcasses in my burn pit. They get hit by cars, and wander into my swamp to die.

Fill the pit weekly with fallen branches, trees, chicken litter, leaves, paper trash etc. Light it up and everything disappears. Bones take a few cycles, but they too turn to dust.

Conan, it's like you said. Didn't expect to do chit and won hundreds. Figured I had a free hundred to work with and expected the good run to continue. Nope. On the bright side, fought my way back to even so could've been worse.

Toyed with having another go at that point and then saw a guy put $500 on red at roulette.... and lost it. I don't belong here. Time for a cigar and bed

No one belongs there SOB.
For every “Hit it big” story, there are how many “lost everything” stories?
And the “Hit it big” stories end up being losers in the end.
No one needs a Bentley to be happy.
That’s the sickness of Hollywood and the elite...

My experience has shown me that Lady Luck is fickle and she generally leaves almost as soon as you think you’re gonna hit it big. As such, I usually just pick up and leave after winning a little. Glad you broke even.

Btw, what color ashtray did you get for Drafter? 😉
