Looking good here today after a damp and cloudy day yesterday... got not much but shop cleanup going on and watching the Husker game for as long as I can stand it.....

don't make eye contact with anyone out there Guru's.......

We are going to an Engagement Party tonight. I don't know why but I'll get dressed and go. Went to the casino last night for a few hours. Sue hit a bonus that paid $2900+ complete with tax documents. I managed to weasel out $250 ahead. I was $250 down and hit a $500 bonus round. Picked up another $50 but gave it back. So $250 made its way into the gamblers wallet. Sue lost her ass on the card table so they got some of her winnings back but still managed to come out well ahead for the night. Sue and I each have free play and drinks all over the ship for our New Year's cruise. It's always nice to start on their money. They may get it back and more but sometimes we come home with their money as we did on the July cruise. Yes, gambling is definitely one of our hobbies. Can be an expensive one but we manage to stay close to even overall. That's considered a win.
