Back From Las Vegas

My wife and I had a fairly quick trip to Las Vegas. We left last Wednesday, and returned last Saturday morning. So we really only had 2 1/2 days there. I had success gambling. The first day I lost at penny slots and won at blackjack, for a net win for the day. The second day I hit a really big jackpot on penny slots (over $160 on a single 40 cent bonus round). I lost some on blackjack and video poker that day, but ended up a net winner. And the final day I lost a little on penny slots and won on blackjack, so I ended up a net winner that day as well. All in all, I still have to keep my day job, but it's nice to come back a winner when going to Vegas.

Leaky Roof

 It's been a while since I last posted. Over the last couple of months, we have been fighting a leaky roof. I thought I knew where it was; put some caulk up there. That wasn't it. Called someone to come check it out and they said it would be at least $2,000 to fix. So I tried again and found a spot that was really promising. Put a bunch of caulk there. Today went back up in the attic and the bucket to catch the dripping has some water in it. So I failed again. Guess we have to fork over the money to the professionals.
