| Day 5 - The Day That Nothing Happened |

| Couldn't find the video (only found what I guess is someone's personal remake on youtube), but in case anyone doesn't get the title reference here's a link to the script.
|
| Just adding this entry in for completeness. Not a lot to talk about.
|
| Took our time checking out of New York, New York and getting to the outlets for some shopping. Joann picked up a couple of purses, we both got some clothes at Gap...but that was it. No expensive watches or sunglasses for me, no Burberry for Joann.
|
| Lunch at Chipotle. That's a stretch. For the record I offered to go to In-N-Out, but there's a new Chipotle in the outlets so we didn't have to drive or interrupt the shopping.
|
| They were out of beans. How does Chipotle run out of beans? I don't eat them but Joann usually does. But OK, fine.
|
| They also ran out of forks. Sort of. They were very low and had some hidden behind the counter. You'd think when someone orders a salad "for here" they'd produce one. I get not being forthcoming for people who want to eat their burrito with a fork when they need to conserve...but a salad is a little tough to eat with a spoon. When I asked the young woman at the counter if they had any she said they were out...then went over and pulled out a little can of them from under the counter and handed one over. Actually asked me if I wanted one or two.
|
| While we were there apparently someone must have gone and gotten some forks from a different location because about half way through the meal a box appeared...
|
| Checked in to Aria, grabbed a shower and it was on to Bellagio Buffet for dinner. Much better experience than breakfast the other morning.
|
| A little time at the slot machines for Joann, then up to the room for an early night.
|
| That's all, folks. Like Jeff "Pretty Boy" Probst after the immunity challenge is over I got nothin' for ya.
|
| Monday I will be at the Rio in the Brasilia room sitting at table 50 seat 1 (hate the 1 seat!) at 11am for the Summer Solstice Event. 90-minute rounds instead of the usual 60, 7500 chips to start. They claim on the website that the 50% longer round length will make it play like the Monster Stack even tho you start with half the number of chips. They are planning on it taking 5 days to complete, so this could be all I do until the Monster Stack.
|
| We did the math on Sunday, and as I mentioned in yesterday's BLOG this is a bit of a change in plans. I'm cutting out all rebuys and second tournaments to fit this into this week's bankroll. So until I hit a good sized cash in something I'm "one-and-done" every day the rest of the week.
|
| Friday remains a planned day off and I'll be buying into Day "1B" for the Monster Stack on Saturday.
|
| Wish me luck! |
