That's the second time you've said "whatnot" in this thread. I find that funny.

I was with a friend driving back from CA when we stopped for gas in Fallon, NV. It was about midnight on a Friday. The Bronco we were in wouldn't start again, and we had to push it to a parking space and wait for the next morning. The next day being a Saturday, there were only a couple places open, and the mechanic at the oil change place we took it to first said that it needed to go up on a lift to be fixed. Welcome to a weekend in sunny Fallon!

After staying in a fleabag motel for a couple days and getting stared at by townies - a rare situation where the whole room legitimately went silent, like in the movies - the car was fixed on Monday and we drove East. Just outside of town, we saw a mile marker. "Elko, NV - 300 miles." Thank god we broke down just before the desert instead of sometime in the middle.

I haven't heard back from the repair shop yet, but I have good news. NETELLER allowing withdrawls now gave me an extra 400 bucks, please let it be more than enough. Updates soon, I hope.

Don't rain on my parade, NETELLER means it this time. They're going to hook me up and its really only going to take up to 3 business days, you'll see!

I like this post. No panic, no tears or requests for help.

Good luck on your journey, at worst, you'll have a good story to tell.

rjoe,

While stuck inside of Utah, do you have the Denver blues again?

MrWookie · #29 07-30-2007, 12:35 PM

I guess I'm left wondering why you're heading to Vegas with only $350. You don't have any roll for poker?

rjoefish · #30 07-30-2007, 12:43 PM

I haven't been playing poker for awhile. I'm moving there to mainly to live and work and then build up a little cash and then I'll start playing live again to try and make a little more money. Playing poker, while not at the bottom, is fairly low on my list of priorities right now.

Unless someone wants to buy these monitors, then I'd use that for starter to a proper roll. Unless of course the repair guy takes them, but I'll get back to you on that one.
