Now Val Can Drink In Secret

I got it! The camouflage metal water bottle from the casino comps.


It's REAL (RealTree, the copyrighted camo pattern), and it's SPECTACULAR! I haven't tried it yet. But now I can drink (water of course) without being seen by wildlife. Because you know the glint of sunlight off that metal cap won't spook them.

Hick and I also had a delicious lunch for free, using our meal comps. Actually, we combined his $10 and my $15, and splurged for sodas right there in the grill (rather than walking across the casino floor to bring in free smaller sodas), and dessert, so it ended up costing us a dollar-something. The cashier asked if we wanted to use our points for that, and Hick said yes. She promptly deducted it from his 4026 points (that's worth $4 of free play), rather than my 9289 points ($9 in free play). Heh, heh! I could tell he was not pleased about that. Even though you can't cash out anything less than $5, and it has to be in $5 increments.

The special was pulled pork, on top of fries or tater tots, with cheese. I chose the tots:


It was DELICIOUS! I suppose they made too much pulled pork a day or two before, and had to unload it somehow. I had lemon meringue pie for dessert, with no real crust, just crumbly graham crumbles on the bottom.

Hick chose the fries option, and cheesecake. In fact, he told the gal the exact piece of cheesecake he wanted, and she had to slide containers around like one of those number game puzzles my mom used to carry in her purse to distract us from misbehavior.


Neither of us could finish it all. Of course we quit in time to have room for the full dessert! Too bad it wasn't the day for the camouflage backpack cooler, or we could have packed up our leftovers for supper, in the little pie containers.

The gaming report will be tomorrow. Don't waste the anticipation. I'm still driving a 2008 Tahoe.

  1. Yowzah! Those don't look healthy but they do look delicious. And I'm not a Vegan anyway.

    1. Dang it! I bet the first priority of most people eating in a casino is that their mean be HEALTHY!

  2. Not sure about the pulled pork, more of a burger guy, but the pie and cheesecake do look good, I prefer a graham cracker crumb crust.

    The shiny cap is so you can find it if you drop it in the woods.

    1. I had gone there with the intention of having the "Gargage Nachos," but this pulled pork choice seemed equally as messy, so I went for it.

      I think you're giving me Hick-info on that shiny cap!

  3. I think the shiny cap should also be camouflaged, the shiny base should be enough gleam for you to find it if you drop it. I love lemon meringue pie, might make one soon. Ish.

    1. I think the casino wants to foil my hunt! How dare they! It's only a partially-camouflaged water bottle.

      You are more ambitious than I am. I'll take my pie at the casino.

  4. Well I cannot stand pulled pork or anything with barbecue sauce, I mean who thought putting sugar on meat was a good idea? But I can't wait to see your winnings tomorrow. So happy you have a camo bottle to keep from being seen. So important.When you are sneaking around looking for spare change.

    1. I can't stand creamed corn, or peas that aren't part of another dish. I even add BBQ sauce to broccoli slaw vegetables from Walmart! Mmm...it's a tasty side for baked chicken breast.

      I'm sure my lack of camouflage is what's been keeping the coins away!
