LAID BACK IN PAHRUMP

BY REX

I JUST LOVE BEING “LAID BACK IN PAHRUMP”!!!

YOU KNOW WHAT I THINK IT IS? I THINK IS THE GREEN GRASS IN THIS RV PARK SURROUNDING THE LAKE (POND), THE HUGH FLYING AMERICAN FLAG, AND MT CHARLESTON ON THE HORIZON. THIS SPRING I’M CAMPED JUST OFF THE BEACH AND ACROSS FROM THE SWIMMING POOL AND HOT TUB.

I ALSO ENJOY THE LITTLE CASINO, IT’S THE ONLY CASINO WHERE A TIGHT ASS SWISS GUY LIKE ME CAN GET A COUPLE OF COMPS. THIS TRIP I GOT MY CUSTOMARY FREE T-SHIRT, $5 IN GAS, AND $10 BACK ON MY SLOT PLAY.

IN THE EVENINGS I’VE BEEN TRYING TO PLAY TEXAS HOLD’EM. NOW I USUALLY STAY CLEAR OF POKER TABLES, FRANKLY I JUST DON’T TRUST THE PLAYERS! I KNOW IT’S POLITE FOR A SPOUSE NOT TO TAKE EACH OTHER’S MONEY, BUT IN MY OPINION WHEN ONE SPOUSE IS IN THE GAME AND THE OTHER ONE IMMEDIATELY FOLDS………….. THAT AIN’T RIGHT. ANOTHER THING I NOTICED PLAYING LAST NIGHT, IS WHEN I STAYED IN THE HAND THESES OTHER FOUR PLAYERS WERE PUMPING UP THE POT, RAISING EACH OTHER, BUT IF I FOLDED THE POTS WERE RELATIVELY SMALL. TURNS OUT THOSE FOUR PLAYERS WORKED TOGETHER AT A NEIGHBORING CASINO IN THEIR POKER ROOM. LIKE I SAID, STEER CLEAR OF POKER , UNLESS YOU KNOW WHAT YOU’RE DOING !!!

YESTERDAY AFTERNOON PAULIE, EDISON, AND BAILEY CAME TO CAMP. WITH AN ICED DOWN COOLER OF LONG NECK MILLER LITE BOTTLES, I CERTAINLY ENJOYED LISTENING TO THE BOYS TELL GREAT STORIES FROM THEIR CARIBBEAN CRUISE LAST WEEK. SOUNDS LIKE THEY HAD A FANTASTIC TIME ABOARD THE PRINCES GRAND.

OF COURSE THE MAIN REASON THESE GUYS SHOW UP IN CAMP IS TO SCORE A HOMEMADE MEAL. THEY WERE A LITTLE SKEPTICAL BECAUSE MARY WASN’T AROUND, BUT SHOWED UP TO TAKE THEIR CHANCES. WE BOUGHT A 10# BAG OF FRESH VANDALIA ONIONS FROM THE SHRINERS UPTOWN SO I COULD FIX EDISON'S FAVORITE, STEAMED ONIONS OUT OF THE DUTCH OVEN. DAM THOSE VANDALIA ONIONS ARE GOOD, AND PAUL EVEN TOOK 5 LBS HOME FOR HIMSELF. THEN I FIRED UP THE BIGG gASS GRILL AND PAULIE GRILLED PERFECT RIB EYES. THE STEAK FRY WAS A SUCCESS.

BOTH BOYS WERE MISS’IN MARY’S HOMEMADE APPLE PIE AND PAULIE EVEN RETOLD THE OLE STORY OF HIM AND "GRANDMA JACK” MAKING APPLE PIE TO CANDLE LIGHT DOWN IN YELLOW RIVER WHERE THERE IS NO ELECTRIC. IF YOU HAVEN’T HEARD THAT STORY, WELL YOU BETTER GET OUT HERE AND START ENJOYING THE RV LIFE !!!
