MIKEY DOES LAUGHLIN

WHEN MIKEY CAME TO LAUGHLIN, FOR SOME UNKNOW REASON MY CAMERA SAT ON THE SHELF AND I DIDN’T GET ANY PICTURES, SO I HAVE A COUPLE OF PICTURES LEFT FROM FREEMONT STREET TO USE TODAY.

WE INVITED MIKEY AND JERRY TO CAMP, TO COOK IN THE DUTCH OVEN. LIKE THE GOOD OLE DAYS OF YELLOW RIVER IT WAS A “GO TO TOWN” MEAL.  WHILE THE POT WORKED IT’S MAGIC ON DOG DISH MEAT LOAF AND BAKED POTATOES WE HEADED UP INTO THE BLACK MOUNTAINS AND TWO BEERS IN OATMAN.

SUNDAY NIGHT WE WERE ON A MISSION TO DRINK 10-20 BEERS IN THE CASINOS OF LAUGHLIN. AT THE GOLDEN NUGGET MIKEY AND I WERE AT THE CRAPS TABLE, AND I NOTICED THAT FOUR OUT OF THE SEVEN PLAYERS WERE BETTING ON THE “DON’TS”.  MIKEY, I SAID, THE DICE HAVE EYES, AND THIS TABLE IS GOING TO GET HOT AND SCREW ALL THESE “DON’T” PLAYERS. ON THE NEXT SHOOTER I WENT $54 ACROSS ON THE NUMBERS AND JUST KEPT ON PRESSING. I WAS IN $100 AND OUT $1400, AFTER THE 20 MINUTE ROLL. MARY SCOOPED UP MY TWO $500 CHIPS AND SAID SHE’D GIVE ME THE $1,000.00 BACK IN JULY WHEN WE PLAN TO VISIT THE ARIZONA WHITE MOUNTAINS.
