    You ain't just whistlin' Dixie.

    You know what Toby Keith says, though: What happens down in Mexico stays in Mexico!

    Whatever kept me busy. Caught up on some sleep. Sat in the back row stirring up #### on the radio. Bought ALOT of chrome crap. Polished my aluminum. Trashed around in the lounges. Played on the internet. Watched porn. Whatever I really wanted to do, that was my time to do it... so... I did it.

    One time I planned a reset in Vegas. It was the first time I was routed through there and I took advantage of it. I got there on a Saturday morning. I didn't have to deliver in the LA area until Monday morning. I hit the strip, gambled some, saw Ray Romano live (front row, center stage), and won $4,500. All in all, it was a great time.

    I can't believe I was that lucky. I've gone to a few riverboat casinos in my time, but not more than 10 times and never won anything more than 100 bucks. I was in utter shock when I saw that queen of clubs pop up. There was a woman sitting next to me who was on her cell phone leaving a message for her son. I started screaming "Oh my God!" and she shouted "Holy sh&*!!! I gotta go, this guy next to me just hit a jackpot!"

    Dance, you better stay away from the Cadillac Man down there in El Paso. Them boy's will get you "fubar" to the point you'll drop like a bad habbit!:biggrin_2559:

    I normally have me a couple 24's when shut down but my step dad ain't driven no more so I can do that here at the house. I'm trying to figure out how I can run a log book and stretch the hours out of the 7 day week and roll some miles all 7 days.

    I see Pete is honest about his time lol.

    As for Scarecrow, I tried my hand at gambling and haven't had any luck. I won't do it anymore. I value my money too much.
    I'd just lay up in the truck after getting chores done and get some R&R.

    I no longer deal with Cadillac or Papa. They po'd me so bad the last time I used either of them, I simply grab a cab now. Although I would have to really think long and hard before I crossed there at the moment.

    I have nothing for people who use the Policia to extort money out of drivers who cut the middle man out, Cadillac & Papa Smurf.

    I've been across enough to develope friendships, and I can actually navigate myself around the city fairly well. No need for their services.
