My Weekend...

So this weekend I ended up doing a few things...The highlight of the weekend was a trip down to Buffalo and Niagra Falls...

So I went down with my close friends Bo, Ray and Kenrick. The goal was to find some good deals what with the dollar being so low and the tax rate in buffalo being 5%. So right now the conversion (including the tax) is about 20%...which isnt bad considering there were some good things available...but I only bought a new pair of shoes...Reeboks...they replaced my 4 year old Adidas...which I miss greatly...they served me well...I feel like a traitor...

Anyways...we hit up two malls...I forget the names of them cuz I wasnt driving and also didnt care...I only got some shoes and my friends got a few things but not alot...it was a nice trip anyways...

We got back to our side of the border i think between 7 & 8...once we got there we hit up Fallsview Casino and headed straight for the buffet...it was about an hour and a half wait...but worth it cuz the food there was pretty good...Oysters on the half shell and shrimp...a Glutton's wet dream...The meal came to $26.40 CAD w/taxes (you pay when you enter the buffet) but you get 2 bucks off if you get a players card...which is not a big deal...but you must give the casino marketing info about yourself...not a big deal again if you dont care...

After dinner we walked around and watched the tables...they were pretty steep $25 minimums...blarg...my friends and I ended up playing the slots for a bit...Mostly video poker (Jacks or better)...My friends did pretty well on these...broke even or won 5 bucks...which is pretty good considering slots are money eaters...not that everything else in the casino is any better...

I dropped 30 on the slots...yes...I suck and I know better than to play slots...even if it was video poker...

Eventually we found a $15min Blackjack table...I made 127.50 in about a half hour...I figured I pressed my luck enough for one day and walked away 97.50 richer (cuz of the $30 loss at stupid slots...) not bad...not GREAT...but not bad...basically it meant that I broke even/spent nothing all day...The Casino payed for my day out...shoes, food, gas money...pretty sweet if you ask me...

What I'm most proud of was that I walked away when I did...yes there's the regret that I could have made more...but that doesnt matter...I can lose that money another day at the casino :D

I miss my old shoes...they carried me far and wide...
