Happy Birthday to Dee
Today is Dee's birthday so like I did last year when we were here, I gave her the option to plan the whole day. Of course I have the right to veto anything she chooses that's just totally dumb or going to cost us a boatload of money.

She tried to turn the tables on me and said I could plan the day with the only stipulation being that I am not allowed to say fuck at all today. I agreed to the part about saying fuck but still told her to plan a day.

We started with ten play video poker. As it has been it was streaky. Dee hit a bunch of premium hands including the ultra dreaded A2345 straight flush but still ended up getting our asses kicked.

For a break from the VP machines we popped a twenty into some penny games for fun. We didn't get much play out of it so decided to hit the VP machines again. This time around things were VERY bad for me but Dee was hovering. Things were so bad I dropped $200 and even my hail Mary attempt came up empty. I put in another $200 and the same thing was happening. Very few winners and drawing to low pairs was producing nothing. I was about to quit and on my hail Mary attempt switched to the ultra volatile triple double bonus. Things weren't good here until I dumped a junk hand and hit quad 4's w/ kicker for 2000 coins. Things turned around from here and I built the meter back up to around $300. Dee hit some aces and hit 3 straight flushes on one hand that got her meter up and amazingly we quit even.

I activated my free play for the day and we ran it through the machines and cleared $43 with it.

Next it was time to take a break for a late lunch. Dee wanted to try a place she saw on Diners, Drive Ins and Dives called Those Guys Pies. It's not far from here so we drove over. The only problem was there are only 2 tables in the place and it's mainly take out. We ordered a meat pizza and a cheese steak. Using the trusty GPS in the Tahoe we looked up parks in the area and found Desert Breeze Park right around the corner where we ate the food. I can't say there was anything special about the food but it was good.

We came back to Rampart and rested for a while from eating too much and being out in the heat.

The next thing Dee chose to do was going back to the casino. Once again we hit the 10 play machines for dimes. Things were great here to start. We had lots of big hits including aces multiple times and Dee hit a bunch of straight flush hits including the dreaded king high version. We were doing well but then it was as if someone flipped a switch and everything we were up was gone and then some. We ended up losing $200 for the session but had gotten all of the action in we had planned on.

Next up I cashed in some points for $100 in free play. We ran that through the machines and had a few hits but nothing major turning the $100 into $85.

We came back here to the room to pack up the stuff we used during our stay because we are moving tomorrow.
