Met Jim today during his Vegas visit

I'm also going to ask about Walt. I thought his name was Frank.  

No wonder he wasn't answering when you addressed him as Frank!  

Now we just need to know who this Walt fella is! Does Frank even exist? Maybe Frank is like a "Rudy"! (John probably gets called Rudy more than John!)

I think Rudy is the dog in  the website picture . I also think the dog is dead . Sorry to john if that is not so ?this post may get me in trouble P.B.

I've seen many tubes/jars of wasabi with horseradish as the main ingredient. Darrell lost his taste buds about 6 years ago, and while they are about 25% back now, we still cannot get enough heat. We eat a ton of hot stuff (horseradish, peppers, Siracha, etc). When I make pepper jelly, I have to add habanero a to a couple batches for him...bread and butter pickles, same thing.

I used to eat more hot stuff, but doing so builds a tolerance. It got to the point where only habaneros were hot enough -- and I didn't like the way they tasted. I stopped eating capsaicin for a while and let my tolerance drop. Now I'm back to eating Serranos and Jalapenos (fresh preferred.)

If you're looking for lots of heat, real Wasabi would be a step in the wrong direction. It's not as hot as horseradish but has a lot more flavor. There's an American company growing it now in the Carolinas. Unfortunately, they're charging $150/lb for fresh rhizomes, even though they're growing them here and not importing them. Maybe the price will come down in a few years...

Did anybody (in the pic) hit the Ceasers auction last weekend?
I saw glass listed, but when I happened to log on to the auction they announced the glass was game kits with software!
Stuck on-call at my job I couldn't go. 

Also saw a ton of toppers go for $100 a pallet load, looked like 15-20 toppers per pallet.

I completely missed that one. Never heard about it. I was at the Renaissance Festival. It's just as well since I have no room anyway.

I'm glad I was on standby, would have bought stuff I'll never need! Was hoping NLG members got any deals and thought maybe these guys were there!
They had several WMS Jungle Wild glass and software that went for $500 and several, I think 17, IGT All That Glitters kits with software for $175 for all.
Saw it listed in Friday's LVJ.

Sounds like you guys had a good time, wish I could've made it! Damn mortgage, damn bills, damn job!

LIFE!!! If only it would stop getting in the way!! 

I say that all of the time!!! I will have to check to see if I trademarked it??? Or maybe not, life is getting in the way again!

I had gone and fixed Buzz's Walts to Franks, that was before I realized that there were so many following posts on a second page even!

No problem. I'll just call Frank and ask him to change his name to "Walt, The glass guy formerly known as Frank." Then I'll ask for some "Game Prince" glass. 


I got a call from JIM (just Jim) today. He spend most of his second day in Vegas sleeping and slept again after they returned home.
My wedding  once again.

[Jim]

Buzz and David,    wanted to say thanks again for  taking the time to  visit with me during my stay in Las Vegas.  David and Buzz are great people and fun to be with, sorry I couldn't keep up with you two, I was still trying to adjust from the time difference between Ohio, Hawaii and Las Vegas. I finally did wake up the last day and did some gambling. Played some Texas hold'em at the Wynn, didn't do too well, people have to much money and they are willing to bet anything , If they go broke they just pull out another 500 dollars and are back in the game. HOWEVER, at 2 am , I decided to walk through the casino and find a different machine that I have never played. Found a Multi denom.  Triple Red Hot Sevens with the bonus round and random multiplier feature.  Put a twenty dollar bill in the machine  and the rest was history.  I played the machine until 9:40 am (we were leaving at 10 for the airport)  put 8653 points on my wife's card and relieved the Wynn of  nearly 6k.  4874.00 was on a 1099.  I hit the three triple sevens (150 credits)  with two 3x symbols (x 9)  in the bonus round with a 7x multiplier.  1350 x 7 = 9450. Needless to say this was the icing on the cake. playing .50 per line.

Thanks again David for being the chauffeur and for getting us a great dinner  and thanks Buzz for driving that distance to visit and for buying dinner.


Jim

one of the many Jim's on NLG.

Well, that's a nice parting gift! WOW!

I love getting a 1099, so then I can deduct some Gambling Losses! 


And just for the record, there may be other Jim's on here, but you are THE "Jim"...

[StatFreak]

Wow, that's GREAT Jim! That must have made up for the lack of sleep, running around, and the wife's previous losses.

2am-9:40am - that's almost 8 hours of play in the black! You're own numbers say that you won in addition to the hand pay. That's random occurrence favoring you (i.e. you were lucky as He11)

 


For those home slot owners who think their machines are broken every time they seem to pay out too much, this is how it works. Anything can happen in the short run.

So how much did it cost per spin? The bet deck button layout suggests it was more than $2.50 (50¢x5,) or was it a nickel machine at 10 coins per line?

[Jim]

Yes, very ,very  lucky!   machine was a multi denom. machine,   5 line, 25, 50 1 and 2 dollar.  so max bet was  1.25, 2.50, 5.00, and 10.00.
