Repairs & Slots

This morning, HWH couldn't get "The Bus" in the shop for repair until about 10:00 AM and worked rebuilding the leaking jack until early afternoon. So we were not able to get back on the road until almost 2:00 PM.

We drove West through Des Moines, Iowa, then turned South on Interstate 35. At about 5: 00, we were approaching Osceola, Iowa, where Terrible's Casino is located. We have stayed there before at the Casino campground, so we decided to stop for the night . . . continuing on toward home would have meant arriving at our house around 9:00 PM . . . much too late to back "The Bus" into the driveway.



We parked in the campground at Terrible's, hooked up to utilities, and hopped the shuttle bus to the casino. We played the "Slots" for a while, the went to the casino restaurant for the prime rib and seafood buffet. I pigged out on prime rib while Carole struggled cracking a bunch of crab legs. Yes, we ate way too much (again), then returned to the slots for a little more action.








We played the slots until a little after 9:00 PM, then grabbed the shuttle back to "The Bus". Checking our results . . . I lost about $25, Carole won $50. So Carole has to buy breakfast!

Tomorrow morning, we'll be on the road headed home to Kansas and will stop somewhere so Carole can buy us a big breakfast.

Our "Repairs" are complete and we have enjoyed a little time with the "Slots" . . . but arriving home tomorrow is much more exciting.
