My "go to" casino, Chinook Winds at Lincoln City, is reopening 1/15/21 after being shut down for awhile due to the virus pandemic.
I got an offer of a room for $24.99 which is the lowest I've ever seen it.
Comes with running water and elk running in the water.

I thought that your "go to" forum was the WoV. What happened? Didn't anyone there even notice that you vanished, last Grounghog Day?
Well, I guess that you showed them by coming back here with the same old dull posts aimed at throwing in your impotent attempts at humor, or, was it just for the attention you can't find at home?
Bye, bye, MrV. See you at the casinos. Not.
Say, turns out that there is a big thread about changing your own oil, over there. Right up your alley. Ha.
Oooh, so now you admit what I suspected: you no longer gamble having busted out long ago, and now you only haunt these boards to get a fix.Quote:

You're the board's male version of Tasha: no, that's not a compliment.
Tasha is extremely disturbed, but is harmless in the grand scheme things. The douchebag on the other hand.......
Lots of faulty reasoning there. No wonder that you're just a divorce lawyer. I mean, there must be as much important case law in that department. Not.Quote:

Some still at the now defunct Penalty Box, mostly in my own thread there. A series of very short posts at Gamblingforums.com because the political action, etc, here has thinned out in the last couple of months.
For me, a fun diversion from the serious theoretical stuff. Stuff that has next to nothing to do with math and physics. Say, thank you. Now I understand that particular persons just don't want to hear anything about science, couldn't care less about math and the like. In fact, I used to take off months and months at a time from the internet, to more focus on my theory. A rhythm to it. Activities and directions of thought that weren't compatible with what I was trying to accomplish. Maybe, the brain, too, does require fallow seasons.
1 : usually cultivated land that is allowed to lie idle during the growing season. 2 obsolete : plowed land. 3 : the state or period of being fallow Summer fallow is effective for destroying weeds. 4 : the tilling of land without sowing it for a season.
Well, at least, you didn't try to claim that Tasha, and I, were the same person.Quote:

Seriously, you guys live in a world of talking about yourselves. When that didn't work, then, you moved on to projecting yourselves on others.Quote:

Of course, very likely, no one here can sense the difference.
Oh, I neglected to mention the old Gamblers Glen. Ha, there was a short-lived new one started by Donali or someone from the old one. Purely a gambling systems forum. Lots of fun times there, too, and, with also MrV. I was a bit late to the game there, around 2008/9, after my start at the one called BaccaratForums.com, the year before. I vaguely remember one of MrV's longer more ornate posts there, something about fictional characters from books. Johno and GreatPlayer were popular posters. I recall JBrockBetting's relatively fewer posts about telling people off. He was the best such poster, ever, a notch or two above the likes of Crimm, and Blackhole.
Anyway, the thing about tuning some things out while other things in, and back and forth, is that one is more able to derive a sustainably elaborate approach to things in general and specific. Because one's truly creative scientific lifespan is relatively short, one must, at the same time, find ways to incorporate the associated matter into what is discovered. In other words, if you retain an everyday working knowledge of most areas of only math and physics, and other studies, then you will be pretty much sunk, the older you become. Your discoveries will pale alongside your working knowledge, etc, of things.
Einstein's big idea was to keep as much relevant, non-trivial stuff (opposed to that found in and let to the libraries) in his head, at once, and, then, to better and better form the connections between. Unfortunately, that isn't a naturally convergent, and self-contained, process. The older he became, the more convoluted were his equations of everything, in terms of his theory of relativity. On the end, he wrote that he thought that he was a failure because he had lost his imagination. Look, there is no one way to solve for every thing, and everything. And, the solver has to realize that he/she is part of things. Namely, that one must then solve for also oneself, especially for one's way of thinking, itself, one's consciousness, and, in general and specific. That such a solution can be complete only in the sense that it must, forever, be unpacked. (One unique solution of an infinity of different mathematics and physics, etc, but which are all solved, at once, instead of let to layers of an "onion".)
Gambling boards have come and gone throughout the years.Quote:

IIRC, he regularly chewed alan m. (cub reporter) a new asshole for spewing vapid nonsense.
Patrick's board featured LarryS. and a guy unmercifully targeted named Frank Stanton.
Those boards are dead so far as i can tell.
And who can forget Mark Howe, et al and all the flame wars between roulette players at the Glen?
"Psstt ... hey little boy ... wanna buy a roulette computer?"
Looks like the honeymoon period between Vee and Garbagebby is over.
Garnabby is a bit of an enigma in that it is difficult to say whether his "mad scientist" shtick may be heartfelt or bullshit: I've concluded he probably believes it.
IIRC he was never quite this weird at Gamblers Glen, it is as if some part of his brain has since gone beyond zebra ...
His "theory of everything" is an obvious rip off of Hawking; his numerology fascination indicates a mind that's run off its tracks.
So long as he is civil and doesn't babble too much I'm OK with interacting with him; we have a history of haunting gambling boards for a couple of decades, approximately, yet I suspect he's best kept on a short leash.
I'm not particularly put off by his insults as I can give as good as I get, and hey, "Nobody's perfect."
Ah, no.Quote:

Garnabby, I REALLY hate to say this, but you are insulting people for no good reason. There was absolutely no reason for you to drag and rag on Misterv. You really should stop....
It's okay, Tasha. I value your opinion.
On the other hand, I suggest that you read up on Alan Mendelson's last month here, under that very handle. Didn't MrV shamelessly lead the merciless feeding frenzy? Then, they gorged on the remains.
If I recall, I was the only one to try, a time or two, back then, to breathe some calm and mercy into the ravenous attack. Oh, and it may have been that even Dan stepped in to shed some obvious perspective.
All that remained of Alan was some forever psychologically misshapen ghost named, Andrew. The most bizarre thing you will, ever, see on any internet forum, up to suicide by cyber stalking.

I've stayed in the rooms quite a bit. Love the ocean view. They used to send me a cheap rate, like $30 a night. The casino has advantage slots too. And Spirit Mountain is only 25 miles away. I used to work both those joints when I visited my sisters that live close to the Oregon coast.Quote:

Left early afternoon yesterday for the coast, and returned home 24 hours later.
Stayed at the motel at the Chinook Winds casino for the reduced rate of around $24.99; had nice ocean view.
Planned to have Chinese food for dinner: closed, so returned to casino for buffet: closed also.
Covid sure has a lot of things closed or open limited days only.
Normally I come back from a gambling trip feeling a bit like the proverbial beaten red-headed step-child, as I am not an AP: but not this trip.
Stopped initially on the way to the coast at Spirit Mtn. and won $70.00 on my favorite game there, ten dollar double diamond.
At the coast I hit a $1200.00 handpay on my favorite machine (double 3x4x5x pay): the symbols came up three bars, three bars, and a 4X pay symbol @ $10 bet.
Ka-ching.
Paid uncle sam $250.00 for taxes, netting $950; pissed about half of that away (typical ploppie gambler) and left the coast up $534.00.
Stopped at a dispensary on the way out of town (T.E.R.P.) and scored a couple grams of hybrid and motored on toward the old homestead.
On the way home I stopped at Spirit Mtn. for lunch; I brought a one hundred dollar bill in with me, to try my luck.
Well, like their ad says: "luck happens:" on my second pull on the ten dollar double diamond I hit for a grand: double diamond, double bar, double diamond.
Cashed out immediately and left.
Total winnings / profit for the trip: $1584.00.
The itch has been thoroughly scratched.
I like the drive to Chinook Winds even tho the road is curvey and lots of traffic.Quote:

That areas got hit by wildfires; a good friend of mine has a house outside of Lincon City on the Salmon River, and the wildfires scorched the earth to within a couple hundred yards of his home: he lucked out but many of his friends and neighbors lost everything.
I visited the area shortly after the fires stopped spreading and helped him at the local Grange hall with getting used clothing for the many fire victims in the area: quite a few houses were burned to cinders, just like in California.
Some of the fire damage is visible when driving in to the area on the main hwy, Or. Hwy 18; the charred remains of some houses / structures are visible, burnt to the ground.
Very sad.
Today Traffic in that area was stopped briefly as loggers were busy cutting and removing some of the burned yet presumably still valuable timber, and boy howdy a shit load of timber is gone.
The fire came close to town, burning in spots to East Devils Lake Road, the road flanking the edge of Devils Lake.
This photo shows Hwy 18 in flames outside of Lincoln City.

This thread went from light hearted to downright TRAGIC... Those fires look absolutely HORRIFIC. Poor people who lost their Homes in those fires. :(
Bad as things were in Lincoln City, they were much worse in the Detroit, Oregon area, and much worse than that in California.Quote:

I just returned from Lincoln City and drove down Hwy. 18, site of the above photo.
My wife was with me and this was the first time she'd been down there since the fire: she was surprised / somewhat blown away by all the damage.
There was much worse damage done to homes located on a road on the other side of the Salmon River, near where my buddy lives.
Many homes were burned to cinders: the home owners must be stout-hearted strong folk becaus most seem to be sticking around: a bunch of RV's are now on the burned homesites, and many live in them while they begin to rebuild.
Earlier this year the area from south of Portland to the coast got hammered by a bad ice storm, and they are still cleaning up more than a month later, blocking off traffic lanes so heavy equipment can be used to clear things out.
Things are shutting down again in Oregon due to the surge in covid-19; no indoor dining.
It will be interesting to see what my go-to tribal casinos, Spirit Mtn. and Chinook Winds, do to adjust to it this time; they are sovereign nations and can freely disregard the governor's order if they wish.
For example they both stayed open most of the time (short shut down early on) while other venues stayed closed.
It's the availability and method of sreving food that will likely change; recently the buffets were open, with modifications: that may change.
Went to Spirit Mtn. first, played my ten dollar Double Diamond and quckly got whacked $700.00.
Off to Chinook Winds.
Hit a hand pay for $1200.00 on my go to game, Double 3x4x5x Pay; paid $300.00 to Uncle Sam for estimated taxes.
I'd planned to bet big, to take a lot of shots, and that is what I did.
The hand pay came on a $20.00 bet.
Emboldened, I poured on the coal, regularly beting $5.00, $10.00, $20.00 and $40.00 per spin; must have Bet $40.00 over a dozen times, with only one good hit for $800.00 on another machine there, a Double Diamond.
Predictably I pissed away my winnings, and finished up at CW only barey ahead.
Stopped at Spirit Mtn. on the way home, won about $250.00 at Double Diamond.
Finished down $385.00 for the day; enjoyed it quite a bit, even though I lost, as I got to take numerous deep shots at the brass ring.
Maybe some day ...
You taking home $900 on a $1200 win reminds me of someone who said that he was MAD that he won $1200 when what he REALLY wanted was to win $1100. A Newbie Gambler asked him WHY he wanted to win $100 less. He explained to the Newbie Gambler that $1200 would mean a $300 tax cut, whereas $1100 would have NO taxes taken out, so he actually would keep $200 more than with a $1200 "Win,". The Newbie Gambler saw the light....Quote:
