This happened to me recently.

The lighter side... playing for entertainment, less concerned about "the math."

If only I could flush my 45 minute Caesars BP session. I finally hit a 5-K quad. Expensive RF pursuit. -$75 and I was on the brink of -$200! It was Bogus Poker.

[quote=olds442jetaway]Ran over to Lowes...They don't even carry that type of chain anymore....[/quote]Bead chain?  That's pretty old stuff.  Have you ever thought about updating those bathrooms?  We did it last year and it was a nightmare. Glad that's over...    My wife and I are looking forward to playing at the Mohegan Sun once again.  We'll bring our walking shoes this time.

     Right Phil...pretty old stuff. I actually like the old style Anerican standard innards we have. Pretty much trouble free except for a ballcock washer, bead chain, and flapper once in a blue moon. In our case, one bathroom. Thats a tough one with two girls in the house. Many of our neighbors and friends have to replace the innards every 5 years or less because the replacement parts are cheap crap made you know where. If I remember in 45 years, just two flappers, 5 bead chains, and 4 ballcock washers. And as you know, those plumbing jobs rarely if ever go smoothly. Always unexpected issues.
     I have you guys booked for thurs may 3 rd. We just have to coordinate a bit and maybe see the latest you can cancel your room etc. My host can help me with that. We can figure out the detail on our phones. I plan to be up there overnight May 2 so I will be there on May 3rd. Lately, I have been having fun playing the lone Multi Strike Machine in the 98-99 range even at the nickel denomination. You can play nickels, quarters, or dollars. It has Double Bonus deuces Wild, job at 9/5, not so bad, and Joker Kings at 17/7. The fun part about it is when its ice cold then you hit something on the 3rd or 4th line that brings you all the way back and then some in one shot. Hitting quad deuces on the top or 3rd line is a blast. The Mrs hit a Royal on the top line for nickels last year. If you stick with nickels and bet 5 per line, you can play all 4 lines for a buck total and get paid the correct amount for the Royal.

We will be staying at the Mohegan Sun the nights of May 3rd and 4th.  My wife is nervous about cancelling our room reservations.  If your host can smooth that over it would be great.  We don't eat big in the evenings.  Maybe we can get together for lunch?  I see you have had some nasty weather.  We'll bring our jackets.

OK Phil. I will see if we can leave your reservations intact, and just somehow see if I can add my name to the first night and therefore get it comped. The casino must deal with this stuff all of the time. I can go into the high roller special check in room, and get the details. If you can, since I forget, txt me your guys last name.
