A Take-It-Easy Day Redux…
We hung around the rig all day today just pretty much doing nothing. I worked on some things around the rig and Jan read.
Later in the afternoon it was nap time. Retirement is hard work.
We left the rig around 4:30 pm to have the buffet supper at the Boulder Station Casino right down the street. We had finally accumulated enough points to get one of the meals free.
Of course, that ‘”free meal” only cost us about $50 in slot machine losses.
And of course, Jan had to run one last $5 bill through the slots.
After stopping off at the bank to get some cash, it was home for night.
We’re still trying to firm up our plans on where we’re going in the next few days.
We’ll let you know.
More later…
A Take-It-Easy Day…
We left for lunch about 11:30 am for a last ditch try at finding a decent Chinese buffet in Las Vegas, and in our last few days, I think we found a pretty good one.in the Lucky Star Super Buffet.
It’s right next door to the Buffalo Wild Wings that we’ve eaten at twice. Last time while we were at BWW, we checked it out, and today we wanted to give it a try.
And it was the best in Las Vegas so far. It wasn’t quite as good as EAT in Yuma, or the Chinese buffet place in Celina, OH, but it was good. We’d go back, but we’ll only be here a few more days so we probably won’t have time.
After lunch we walked across the parking lot to pick up some stuff from Walgreens, and then it was on to the WalMart near the rig so Jan could get her hair cut and a pedicure. I dropped her off and went back to the rig to work on some things.
After I picked her up, we stopped off at Starbucks for our favorite Cinnamon Dolce Latte and then home.
Then about 6:00 pm we left for dinner at Claim Jumper. And once again we had a great meal.
Then, it was home for the night.
More tomorrow…
