I used to play poker online a lot before “Black Friday”, when they made it illegal to play poker online.

I’d average 20-30k profit a year, then when they made it illegal I ended up playing a lot more live poker in Vegas.

I did pretty well playing in person, but it’s not nearly as convenient as being able to play from the comfort of your own home. Although, game play was much more fun playing live.


Largest online prize I won at one time was $6000 for 2nd place in a tournament with over 5000 people in it. I think it was a $5 buy-in

These days I just go to relax, eat good food, and usually go hiking and trekking around the desert in southern Nevada. I just use Vegas as a home base.

I’m not a huge fan of actual gambling...I liked Texas hold’em because there was a large degree of skill involved...and you weren’t playing against the casino.

Well, yesterday afternoon Mom nature showed up. The California quail started hatching babies about two weeks ago. First couple showed up with 12 little two inch fuzzballs' last week. The groups of juvenile join together sometimes to form groups of 40. Mom quail came in yard with only two very small babies, two inches tall. Unfortunately, I watched a Scrub Jay peck down on one of the babies right dead center on the head, dead baby.

I guess if there were enough of those little ones someone would want to make a soup.

Morning!!

Love old roses! Can I see pictures of yours? Mine is older than me, and I aim to see it still alive while I am on my death bed. It was my mom's fave.

I always thought we should do an RIU meet up in Vegas, especially now that cannabis is recreationally legal there.

I bet we could rent some awesome mansion on air bnb for not too much $$$ per person.

We have mountain and California quail around here, the mountain ones are the biggest. I stepped on a bobwhite under snow in Kansas once, scared the hell out of me. I had to lift my foot to let it fly, it ended up in my vest. I limited out once in Kansas, 15 birds., got two with one shot that day.

I don’t actually find the casinos depressing. I mean, most people in them are having a good time... It’s not for me to judge what they do with their money. In fact, I generally get a positive vibe when I’m in Vegas...but then again, I’ve probably been there over a hundred times easily since I turned 21.

it’s easy when you live 4 hours away by car.

How do you like your fitbit? My kids gave me a Charge 3 a couple Christmases ago and I'm considering upgrading. I have extremely tiny wrists and that watch face looks huge but I'm old and squint to read the Charge 3 (that rolls around my wrist) LOL

Your rose is lovely! I need to treat mine for mildew it's that time of year!
