HIGHWAY GUYS

Steve and Peter travel the roads of the U.S. in an RV (called The Beast). Steve is retired and disabled (mobility impaired) and Peter is his service dog. They started their adventure on September 11th ,2003. Home base currently is Los Angeles, California. On the road, they live in a 1993, 28 foot, Allegro Bay class A motor home. Their goal is just to enjoy the thrill of travel and exploration for as long as the Beast and their health allow.

090324 - Poker


Tuesday March 24, 2009
Indio

The weather has cooled about 10 degrees to the high 70s and with a mild breeze, it is comfortable.
Tonight was a dinner night and of course our motto is … if someone wants to cook for us, we’ll be there.
With a large juicy chicken breast, spaghetti and vegetables and chocolate cake for dessert, it was a great meal There was enough to share with Peter. He loved the chicken, but declined the vegetables and salad, and of course the chocolate cake is not on his diet.

Following dinner, the tables were cleared and the cards and poker chips came out for a $5 buy in game of Texas hold’em.
Obviously a friendly game, and none of the players appeared to be hustlers or shills, but I lost a few bucks anyway. Peter always wants to play but his does not have a poker face and when he gets a good hand he wags his tail, so he had to settle for Just kibitzing. His major concern was that I not loss any money that would affect his food allowance.
All in all, it was a good day.

    "You've gotta to know when to fold ’em." Peter was probably trying to communicate that too! I learned a new Yiddish word today (kibitzing) thanks to Merriam-Webster! :-)
