- Blogging on my life events & whatever that comes to my mind!
This is Cooper, enjoying the cool 39 degrees temperature. After dinner and their treats, that’s what he and Ranger will do, laze around the yard, eat grass, dirt and whatever they can find, and bark at the neighbors’ dogs.
This is what he is doing right now, sleeping and snoring away. He had a tough day, you know.
I will be on my way to Vegas this Sunday, and yet I was still procrastinating on what I need to bring and so forth. DB kept telling me to bring the luggage from the basement, air it out and sort out what clothes I want to bring with me. He telling me so many times since last Thursday, I finally succumbed to get the luggage and the backpack I’m bringing along. Now, I have to figure what the heck clothes I want to wear. The temperature in Vegas at this time of the year is around 70′s and 80′s Farenhiet. Not too bad as long as it’s not humid.
So far, I have packed:
Since I have only 1 memory card that is only 1GB, I need to get another one. DB said he will buy one for me, a 2GB will be enough, I hope. I am bringing along my battery charger and reader. Hopefully there is a business center in The Mirage where I can use the PC (of course for a fee, nothing is free in Vegas) to download my pictures if I run out of the 3GB cards. Who know, right?
I was going to pack some instant coffee with me, but I was told by my boss that the hotels in Vegas do not provide coffee nor a electric kettle to boil water. I will still bring some with me just in case there is a kettle somewhere in the room.
Next I need to bring is a hat, a good pair of walking shoes and most importantly plenty of dough!! Hahahaha, I wish I could do that, but whatever I have on this Friday’s payday, will be what I have for my trip. What happened to the rebate check that Prez Bush says is going to stimulate the economy? We were suppose to get the rebate check deposited to our account today, yeah sure, na-da. Not there at all.
Every one whom I spoke to said it’s not cheap anymore in Vegas. If you want coffee, you have to go to the vending machine or to the hotel’s restaurant, Starbucks, or for cheaper version, McDonalds. Entrance to the Glitter Gluch is $15 for entrance fee, Liberace museum entrance fee is $75, if I remember right, gondola ride at the Venetian cost $50/person, breakfast buffet is about $17-19+ and dinner buffet is $22-24+. We might try a few slot machines while we are there and if luck is with us, we might hit some thing! 
If not, lose all, I will come home and live like this:
DB has been working on his blue PC for ages now. It konked out for no reason, he then installed Vista but some of the trading programs he is using are not compatible with Vista. He then reinstalled XP and is working fine but it needs more ram to speed her up. I told him he should invest in some bucks to get some RAM since there are at least 3 more slots for more RAM. I’m hoping he will get it done when i’m on vacation so I won’t be hearing his grumps on “this POS is driving me up the wall!”
Our neighbor, Pete, is getting ready his home for sale. He and his room mate are requesting for a transfer to Michigan or somewhere where they will have a job with the company they are with. I was asking him what else has he done to the house besides keeping the outside presentable and installing home theater lighting in his basement. His kids moved in with him recently and they helped him redo the basement and turned the baby to a mini theater. Not bad at all. But Db and I hope they will be able to find a buyer with the home market in the down turn.
