Argh!!!

I sit here with a can of MTN DEW wondering what to write about. I blame the iPhone. I have the kids this weekend and we have a lot planned. There is a Family Fun Fair at Rocket Park and this weekend marks the 100 year anniversary of Inyokerns' founding and there is a bunch going on for that. So I should have a lot to write about soon. I really need to write every night before bed, good stuff or not, I've never claimed this was going to be gold, or enrich your life in any way.


Last weekend I went to Vegas to see friends from WA. What a great trip. We went on an ATV ride with Awesome Adventures. Not only was it a fun ride but they took us into an old gold and silver mine and gave us a little history lesson about the area. The lunch they provided was top notch as well. They have built a little ghost town that you ride out to where they have a BBQ set up. Lunch was corn on the cob, beans, and chicken all very tasty. After you eat lunch you ride around a bit more before heading back in. A great way to spend a few hours away from Vegas.


We also went to Dicks Last Resort for dinner in Excalibur. It was fun and I was made fun of the second I stepped in. It seems people can spot me from a mile away because the guy was across the room with a microphone, its just too bad I'm deaf and didn't hear what was said. There was also a girl walking around handing out balloon...sculptures. My friend was the B-day boy and got a naked stripper on a pole. Me? I got a gigantic penis, complete with testicles and, um, lets just say... well, I'll add the picture. The best part was when she was tying it around my waist she basically went down on me. All in all a good trip.

I am back from vegas.

As you can tell I did not win the jackpot, so sorry, no car this time Helga. I did have a great time though. I spent time with my Mom, My sister-in-law- Karissa, and an old friend Cheri that was getting married. I didn't make it to Vegas until Fri. evening, first thing I did was take a shower then we went to Nine Fine Irishmen for dinner and to watch the band play. They were great like always. If you have been there let me know if you danced or have seen the little old lady that goes there every night, if you have share storys and photos with me. Mine will be up soon. We stayed there until about two A.M. and then went to Tropicana to gamble a little. Nothing to exciting, but we stayed out until about five and then got a cab back to the room. I woke up around noon all alone because all the girls went to get their nails done. I met up with them at The nail place after my shower and waited around there until they were done. When they were all done and pretty Karissa and I headed over to the dirt mall where she got a smaller purse and I got one of Gimlie's axe's from Lord of The Rings. We then went to get ready for the wedding. The service was nice and it was short. We took alot of pictures and cant wait to give them to Cheri and her husband. After the wedding it was off to Planet Hollywood Hotel and Casino. It was just me and Karissa because everyone else had to change so we stopped on the way and got these little 25 or so ounce drinks in cute little cups that had a guitar on the front. We then finished our walk to Planet Hollywood and walked around a bit waiting for the rest of our party and while waiting I saw a guy with a real looking guitar cup, it is shaped like a guitar, neck and all, and had a strap to wear it like a guitar....I had to have one. Karissa asked where we could find them and he pointed us to the the bar I needed and we went straight there. I waited in line and asked how much it was and how much it held to which the answer was "32.00 dollars and its 88 ounces. For 2 more bucks you can get an extra shot." I smiled and said "Yes please." Again, pics will be up soon. To make the rest of the story as short as possable, we then ate at P.F. changs and it was great, stayed out extra late again that night. Next day sunday, Wake up around noon, get ready, go eat at dick's that was funny, then off to the gun store to fire weapons. I ordered a packeage deal and shot A pistol (can't remember what one) An M16 and the S.A.W. it even comes with a shirt. Karissa shot the M16. I took video of it and she looks nervous and pale when the guy is telling her what to do. We got some good pictures there and then went to a Halloween store and got some halloween costumes. We then went to the condo, packed up and went home. I got Karissa home in Temecula and then I went home around two A.M. just because I wasn't all that tired. I got to R/C at 5 A.M. and unpacked and feel asleep. Good times good times.
