TOC survives LasVegas

[Guest guest]

Hi All !! I made it back somehow.

First, I noticed there was some questions about what BP pills folks

was taking. Primary White Coat has had me taking something called

Triamterine HCL. Think it is kinda a light duty blood pressure med

and a water pill also. Have not had any troubles taking it.

Second, Yea a little rash sometimes, seems like late afternoon or

evening. Seems like the rash likes my ankles for some reason. Well

me feet and lower legs also kinda. One of them comes and go's

things. I notice it most after a way too warm shower.

Third, Has Tom ever settled down on the email address thang? I am

thinking maybe he got into the hooch maybe a little too deep and

forgot his way home. O.S.W.I.? (operating segway while

intoxicated)

I had a exciting trip out to Vegas. We went thru Portland OR.

Matter of fact I got plenty of landings and take offs at Portland

that were kinda extra. Seems like the jet decided to have this here

electrical fire and with all the smell and smoke and all we went

back for another try. Lets see, we tried once with that, then we

tried again, then we got a new jet. All in all it was a plesant

extra six hours. They was really nice and fed us a free meal, and

we got a extra 1,000 air miles.

CARA I kept waving at you. Did you see me? There is something

about southern Oregon that was making that old jets wireing burn

up.

The stay at the Orleans Hotel Casino was a normal GOOD time.

I did develop some major pain in me right shoulder and arm. I think

it was caused by the slot machines. I had to revert to using the

darn buttons. I discourage the use of the buttons. It is way too

easy to push the button and the points dissapear fast. For some

reason these points are directly related to money.

I managed to build up enough points to get a few free meals. All in

all it was kinda, almost, just about a break even week. Oh, the

conferance thing I went too was so-so.

Flight back was plumb boring. Well, there was a very exciting ride

to the Las Vegas airport in the rain. It is not supposed to rain in

Las Vegas. The hack driver was Italian. There was a couple of me

peers in the back (also Italians), all from Chicago, driver and me

peers, talking with their hands, while all this rain was going on.

Well it was a relief to get to the airport.

I waved at'cha CARA again, but this time only once on the return

trip up to Portland. Only a five hour layover. It was so great to

get on the plane back to Montana. Oh of course, it had been in the

90's all week at Vegas, and it was like 34 degrees out and snow

flying back home in Montana.
