Cha-Ching!

What a weekend THAT was!! I know, I was really looking forward to getting Ruby-the-Red Springer out on the road, but with temps in the teens... well, I don't think so.
So Saturday I'm kinda mopin around the house with little enthusiasm and the wife says, Let's Go to Cripple Creek! The last thing I need right now is to donate more money to the Cripple Creek Municiple fund but we did need to get away from the kids for a while. So as is the custom, we find a hundred dollars each and headed up the pass to the Gold Rush. Only five minutes there and she hits a $600 jackpot! So I head off to lose another $20 bucks and come back to find her just in time to see her hit another $600 jackpot! This time I insist she banks some in MY POCKET... and then go off to continue losing. I come back to check on her about 30 minutes later and she's waiting on the boss to come and cash out her THIRD $600 jackpot(2 on the same machine).
There's a little inside agreement between us that whenever one of us hits a jackpot, the other one "owes one" to the winner when we get to our room. So I asked her if she needed them all in one night and she says, "...but of course!" *whoa*
So we went up the pass with $100 each and came back down after 4 hours of beating up the slots with $1400! And nope, didn't get a lot of sleep that night either. :-)~
So here's to "loose slots!" and until next time, Rock On! Coda
