Day 454: Where the hell have I been and why have I not posted?!?

It's been far to long since I've posted and am truly sorry. I'm committing myself to posting on the 1st and 15th from now on no matter what. I'm just hoping I remember everything I did here now. I'm sure there is something I will forget but we shall see. I'm nearly halfway through and have a way to go. Not all of these will have pictures for one reason or another (mostly busy or lazy). But here's whats new:

#16 Trip to Vegas Jr......As sort of a pre warmup to Las Vegas in a couple years I wanted to get a taste for a real casino area. Didn't do squat on the slots but I didn't lose everything. I played for a while in the poker room in Caesars (on a WSOP Table as well :-) yay) and won!....ok it was only $7 but hey I still won. The food was good and the shopping area was good as well. Would love to go back.

#19/39/54 Loving the great outdoors.....went camping in Cooperstown, NY. Well actually it was a small town just outside of C-town, it was a Jellystone state park and was kind of fun, and well it was kind of run down some too. While in Cooperstown I treated dad for father's day to the good old Baseball Hall of Fame. Not a whole lot changed but some additions were cool.

#28 The return of Chilly Willy?.....I casually stepped up to a game I have never won in the past 5 years i've played it.....the break 2 beer bottles with rigged baseballs. Casually I by some miracle I broke 2 and won a cute penguin who either is or closely related to Chilly Willy.

#38 SURPRISE!!!!....I lost the pictures for this but I surprised my sister with a care package while at school that included snacks and toys and humorous items.

#46/50 HELP....While I didn't fully organize and run the event, I did help with it since the Macker 3 on 3 tourney was a biggie. But we raised quite a lot of money for the Canteen and will be done again next year.

There are a few things that are partials for now so I won't post on that right now till they are done. Right now I have completed 18 things only but the next update will have a quite bit more done I'm sure. That is all for now Thank you and good night.
