Last Fall we were kept from heading South at the time we usually do because of the derecho and the damage to our motorhome. Last year, a few days before we left we received an "incentive" to stop at the Winstar Casino in Thackerville OK. It included a $25 free meal, $50 free play, and a free stay at the hotel. We each received one of these fine deals! Of course, we didn't use the free room but we took full advantage of the other two. So our stop there paid us instead of them!
This season we were lamenting the fact that we were leaving earlier than last and most likely before the voucher would reach us. Surprise! They came in the mail a few days ago and they are good for the month of October. This is a stop on our usual route and we will be stopping there again.
The weather has been top-notch lately and we are enjoying it too. It is the in-between kind, not requiring air conditioning or heat. We do need more rain. My rain barrel is mostly full so the plants will not suffer much as long as I remember they need a drink on a regular basis as we all do!
I didn't expect much of an adjustment to an 8-foot pool table from a 7 foot one but it is a bit more than anticipated. I am handling it though and so far so good. Nearly every day at 4:00 pm we will be in the pool hall.
Another subject; I have been having abdominal pain episodes. It comes and goes and this has happened perhaps 3 or 4 times since January. The last one was a humdinger and pushed me to seek medical advice. A blood test revealed an abnormality so a CT scan followed yesterday and that showed an enlarged bile duct. So now the ball is rolling for more tests to verify the results and see just how urgent the action should be. I hesitated to add this last paragraph. Talking about my own health issues is one area I am not overly comfortable with sharing. I will try for very short updates. Shouldn't be too hard as I do try to be brief generally speaking.
