Hello! How are you doing today? Me? Excellent! I’m in a yappy mood tonight, you have been warned! Ha!

I got one comment yesterday which makes me laugh because I see how many visitors I get everyday and that number is never under 50 visitors a day, sometimes getting as high as 120 visitors a day. I’m going to assume that around 25% of the higher number found my blog by accident looking for something else. Ha! And yesterday I got one comment from a reader that has a blog just like me! I like reading blogs and this RVer is traveling my way! You can read his blog by clicking HERE. Maybe we will cross paths someday and say Hi! That would be great!

Hey, it’s my little buddy’s birthday tomorrow, or today, whenever you are reading this (born Jan 10, 2002)! Now does my email address make sense to you: dpjake11002@aol.com. My initials, his name, his birthday!

I know I’m talking about tomorrow, but I’ll get to talking about today in a minute, but I have tell you about my pal, Jake! (Blogging gives you the right to have run-on sentences, I just noticed that!)

Anyways, most of you know I have a dog. I got him at a pure breed Maltese breeder in New Hampshire. He was 12 weeks old when I got him with all his little paperwork (shots, AKC paperwork, family tree, etc.) Yes, ha, he had family tree paperwork. Anyways, the day we when to the breeder’s home and picked him up, he crawled inside of my jacket, and I knew that was my going to be my buddy. The breeder lady asked me “We call him Snowball. What are you going to call him?” I simply said, “Jake”.

Tomorrow, he turns 8 years old.

So tomorrow will be a Jake day. He’s pretty easy going……go for a walk, bike ride, lay out in the sun. He’s on a strict diet, so no extra snacks.

I’ll post some pictures of him here…

Tiny little guy. He found his spot on the couch of the RV when we first got the Montana last winter….

This next picture was when we did the Animal Rescue League Walk in New Hampshire this past summer……we were relaxing after the walk. We raised $55 dollars for the Animal Rescue League.

And this next one was taken Nov 20, 2009 at a Customer Appreciation/Open House at a local Harley Davidson shop in Manchester, NH. That’s a pleather Harley Davidson Jacket he’s got on……soo so spoiled……

Well, that’s my baby and we hang out and do a lot together.

So what did we do today? Not much in the afternoon. I was online and watching TV most of the day. I sat outside and some people riding their bicycles by stopped to say Hi and small talked for a little while.

Simple day today and then tonight arrived and we went out to play at the Quechan Casino. It was busy there, but there was plenty of slot machines calling my name! I was doing pretty good. I put a $20 in the slot machine and my balance went right up to $74 dollars! Couldn’t believe it.

So I decided to push my luck and I don’t normally do this at all, but I saw a $5 dollar slot machine that I usually hyper-ventilate when I walk by because it’s soooo expensive to me. But today…..something just seemed funny, so I decided to take $20 of the casinos money I won. That’s how I justified it. If I win some money from the casino, it’s the casino’s money I’m playing on.

So anyways, I put $20 in the $5 slot machine and I hit the button and the reels spun and landed on the bonus feature. Just like that. Just one spin. I kid you not, couldn’t believe it myself! This particular bonus feature spins the arrow on the wheel above the reels to land on a fixed amount and the minimum you can win on this bonus feature is $100, so I know no matter what I was walking away with at least $100. So the arrow starts spinning above the reels and passes amounts like $750, $200, $800, and lands on $500 and stops! Woo-Hoo, $500 dollars! I couldn’t believe it. All I could think is that I hope this luck stays with me in Vegas!

So, that’s how my day went. Pretty relaxing day with a tad of a profit. Sorry I didn’t take any pictures today, but there wasn’t anything to take a picture of. I wish I could of taken a picture of the slot machine won on today, but I didn’t want to get kicked out. Cameras in casinos is a big no-no down here.

Well have a good night and I’ll be back tomorrow night. Right now it’s 12:51am and it’s officially Jake’s birthday

HAPPY BIRTHDAY JAKE!
