cookieman15061 Posted July 17, 2010 Share Posted July 17, 2010 Well took a few days off so the wife and I could drive up see the 7th wonder of the world. My parents took me when I was 7 years old so its been about 43 years since my last visit and it's still as awesome as I remember. Stayed on the Canadian side and we had a blast. Plenty of great food and music and the waterfall ain't to shabby. Thanks to our neighbors over the border for a great time. Cookie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tim Plains Posted July 17, 2010 Share Posted July 17, 2010 I love the falls. Only problem is my wife doesn't like going with me anymore because I always end up at the casino for 2 - 3 hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think I've ever lost money faster than than I did on this trip. My wife won 100 bucks though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deepblue Posted July 17, 2010 Share Posted July 17, 2010 Casinos dont interest me. Its all about the odds, and odds are you will lose. I can teach you how to gamble in a much simpler fashon......Take a $50 bill, crumple it up, and toss it out the car window.....repeat if necessary. You get the same result at a Casino.

So for me it's just a couple of bucks and I'm on my way. Besides every dollar lost is a dollar that could go to another guitar. I have an uncle that has literally lost tens of thousands on horse betting then complains that he doesn't get enough from the government to live on in retirement. I tried to make him see that if that money would have been invested wisely........ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tim Plains Posted July 17, 2010 Share Posted July 17, 2010 I don't gamble - I play Texas Hold'Em and walk out ahead 9 times out of 10. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riffster Posted July 17, 2010 Share Posted July 17, 2010 I don't gamble - I play Texas Hold'Em and walk out ahead 9 times out of 10. I have always tried to explain this concept to friends unsuccessfully, lets say you have 49% odds, the real difference if you know when to walk away. Casinos have deep pockets and all the time in the world, gamblers don't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cookieman15061 Posted July 18, 2010 Author Share Posted July 18, 2010 Hey H.C. I didn't really have a chance to scout out any guitar stores but plenty of live music all over the place. We had a great time and I thought 3 days would be plenty but we weren't ready to leave. Former Eagle Don Felder will be there in August and I'd love to go back and check him out. Have a great time.
