    And, I'm back.
    At Lathrop.

    I delivered this morning in Richmond, CA, and no pplan.
    Also no place around to park so I headed here, 75 miles away.
    I'm told things are slow here, and there are many other drivers waiting as well.

    But I got a shower last night, did laundry and got stocked up on some food and supplies. So it could be worse.

    I did Livermore CA to Houston TX and now on Houston TX - Phoenix AZ final in Livermore CA. I'd come see you on my way back out, Livermore to Chicago IL but it will likely be about 0300 rollling through Lathrop area.

    I really hope to be out of here and to a very different part of the country before long.

    And yes, I would not be up for a 0300 wake up call to simply chat.
    I am too grumpy in the morning.

    Terminal in Lancaster. Bobtail parking is at a premium. Head out in the morning for home time in El Paso. Can not believe planners. Sent in my loaded call with PTA for 3/23, home time and just received a pplan picking up as soon as I get to El Paso to deliver on the 22nd in Nogales. I swear that they do not look at what is going on.

    I've had a full day of sitting at Lathrop.
    I hope this doesn't last much longer.

    Well on the subject of slots, over the years a lot has changed, way way back the machines were a lot looser, I guess due to the great economy and lots of money. But as things changed they got tighter. And I think that people just don't want to believe that the casinos turn down these machines to a near zero pay out just to make money.

    Plus in my experience, if a casino is in a truck stop the machine will almost never pay out, or if they do it won't be very much. Like Reno, I tried the TA casino, what a joke, a total rip off, and I mentioned the Petros one, another where nothing ever really does pay.

    Casinos will put up huge billboards on the interstate-- Loosest Slots! lol that could just mean the quarter fall in sideways lol. Saw a machine the other day, This Machine Pays out 80% Or Better.
    OK wow that means at worst it has 20% house advantage which is terrible. compare that to Blackjack Basic Strategy-- you can get less than 1% house advantage. Baccarat, the Bond, James Bond game, roughly 1% house advantage. Roulette with 00 and 0 is 5.26% house advantage which is considered a terrible negative expectation game. Pass/Don't Pass Come/Don't Come Craps is straight up 1.4x% house advantage. Play true odds bets behind those and get the house advantage well below 1%. The very worst bet ont he Craps table is Any 7 which has 16.67% house advantage and you will not see anyone play this bet but they will go over to the slots and lose all their money over there at 20% house advantage, SMH
