And when you're not, you're hot!
The Pony brought Chinese food out to the Mansion on Monday evening. Farmer H went over to Shackytown Boulevard where it's shady, to work on The Pony's car. He came in looking for his special computer thingy that diagnoses what's wrong with a car. Finally found it in SilverRedO. Couldn't find the book that tells what the codes are. So The Pony looked them up online with his phone.
The Pony's Nissan Rogue is not fixable by Farmer H. Something is wrong with his air conditioner's compressor. Farmer H says he will try to get an appointment to get it fixed, but probably the earliest would be on Thursday. Which is okay with The Pony, who is scheduled off work on Thursday.
The Pony turned down the offer of driving A-Cad to have air conditioning during these days of temps in the mid-90s. To be fair, The Pony DOES just drive about a half mile to work, and then home. It's not like he's commuting to the city, or driving to town from the Mansion.
Anyhoo... while The Pony may be hot temperaturewise, he is NOT hot on the scratchers! I cashed in his previous winners over the past week, but all he won on his new tickets was ONE TICKET, which is worth $1.
Although I am chillin' in my air conditioning, and have T-Hoe back with cool air blowing during our drives, I am HOT! Hot in the lottery department! Yesterday I won $184!!!
I had a $100 winner on this $20 Cash Bonanza ticket. It's the oldest ticket still available, and has some good winners left. Got it out of Country Mart's left machine.
That's a $60 winner on a $3 Crossword! I had 7 words, plus the bonus word that's worth $10. I also got this ticket out of Country Mart's left machine. Guess where I'm not buying tickets from for a few days!
The others were smaller assorted winners, and I don't take pictures of them.
Poor Pony. Hot and not-hot. In the worst way.
Mrs. HM. Not-hot, and hot. In the good way.

Poor Pony. Does he take jugs of cold/frozen water with him? Are we sure he is vigilant when it comes to self-hydration?
The Pony has mothers all over the blogosphere. Make sure he's taking care of himself.
And as far as your casino luck (not lucky in the tot compartment)... Over all these years, have you kept a running total, so you know how are far ahead you are? Just curious...
Sioux,
The Pony takes 3 jugs! Two for drinking, and one for wetting his magic towel issued by the USPS.
Are you working undercover for the IRS, Madam??? I don't know how my casino total compares to overall wins and losses. It's been going since I married Farmer H. All I know is that I have an accumulation that I dip into for my casino bankroll. I'd say over all that time, I've lost more than I've won, but I've hung onto much of my "fortune." I still have my big $8,600 jackpot, though it is only about 3/4 that since I had them take out the taxes before giving me the check. I also have several of my big scratcher jackpots that I rolled over into my casino bankroll, which sit in one of the safes, in case I ever run out of my scratcher/casino stash.
Any time I come home with money left, I put it back into my casino bankroll. Farmer H, on the other hand, has no casino bankroll. He usually keeps playing it back, rather than cashing out a ticket and building on it when he gets a big win. If he comes home with money, it goes back into his general pot of Storage Unit Store bankroll for buying products to sell. In fact, I had to loan him five bills to go by and pay his pawn shop lady when we left the casino last week. He had bought more than he had money for. She was going to let him bring it another day, but he asked ME to spot him the money. I was not an overall winner that day, but I DID have more than enough to loan him until we got home.
Congratulations on your wins. Now can I please borrow Even Steven this week?
I take it back, maybe the Pony is not so lucky!
River,
Thanks. I'll be needing Even Steven for one day, a casino trip with The Pony. Then you can have him the other six days!
Kathy,
We'll find out how lucky he is. He's going to the casino with us on his day off!
