FEB 25, 25.. HAVASU LANDING CASINO.. MONDAY FEBRUARY 24th..
A Senior Moment..
Most regular patrons of a Casino have “Players Cards”. I have one for the Edgewater in Laughlin, Nevada, and one for the Havasu Landing here.
After we finished, and Eddie and I were on the boat back across Lake Havasu, when I was organizing my belongings, I suddenly realized that I had lost my Havasu Landing Players Card.
So I did the usual. Fifty times I checked my pockets (trousers and shirt). Fifty times I looked in my wallet and in my cell phone case. Fifty times I looked on the floor of the Ferry.
So I got home and called the Havasu Landing Casino and spoke to Roxanne (regulars get to know the staffers) telling her if my Players Card was found and turned in, to just keep it until I am back next Monday.
Got it? I lost my Players Card.
Then? Patti looked at me and calmly said, “Cap. What is that hanging down in front of you on a loop around your neck?”
Get it? Yes it was indeed my Players Card.
I called Roxanne and she howled! Eddie couldn’t believe HE had missed it too.

MONDAY.. HAVASU LANDING CASINO.. WITH EDDIE..
I have not visited the Havasu Landing Casino with my neighbor Eddie in three weeks. On Monday the 3rd of February, Patti and I “went to court” to support a friend here. Patti and I were down in Phoenix at the Mayo Clinic on Monday the 10th and 17th of February.
So here is a little history to bring you up to date.
December the 13th 2024, playing with my Royal Oak, Michigan, friend Danny Z, I won $62.02 playing several slot machines.
My next visit was on January the 13th 2025 and I won $39.26 playing only Rocky.
So the above two consecutive visits to the Havasu Landing Casino resulted in me winning $101.28.
So I am now “Playing With House Money” AND, once a month, I am playing with the Veteran’s Free Play B0nus of $20.
The Veterans Free Play Bonus IS REALLY A DEAL !
You can receive this Veterans $20 Free Play Bonus once a calendar month.

First of all, it happens very rarely, BUT occasionally, I get a parking place down by the Ferry Terminal. Black Beauty is the black Suburban in the center of the vehicles below.
When we get one of these parking places, Eddie says..”We are going to be lucky today Cap.”
Here comes the Lake Havasu Ferry.
With the nice weather, there are numerous small boats in the Bridgewater Channel.
I have never ever seen so many RVs parked along the Bridgewater Channel.
I absolutely love the beautiful miniature Lighthouse at the beginning of the Bridgewater Channel.
We are now out on Lake Havasu.
We have arrived at the Havasu Landing Casino.

ROCKY .. MY FAVORITE SLOT MACHINE here at the Havasu Landing Casino.
As I began playing Rocky with my $20 Veterans Free Play Bonus, I was playing with House Money.
As I mentioned above, last December the 13th 2024 I won $62.02. Last January the 13th I won 39.26 which totaled up to $101.28. January the 20th 2025 I lost $8.38 and January the 27th 2025 I lost $8.01.
I began today with $84.89 of House Money.
Today I “won” $7.16 because of my Veterans Free Play Bonus.
“My House Money” balance stands at $92.05!!
No! I am not going to change how I play the slots at Havasu Landing. I will play $20 (40 spins at 50-cents).
BUT the Veterans Free Play Bonus is interesting.
I hit several sizeable payouts on Rocky.
I did not fully understand the rules on the Veterans Free Play Bonus. You do not collect any earnings in full until after you have played the full $20 Bonus. So I “cashed out” prematurely and “lost” some of the “profits” I had won so to speak.
Live and learn. Next Monday, March the 3rd, I will again qualify for a Veterans Free Play Bonus of $20 and I WILL (keep track of the games) play the full $20 THEN see what, if anything, I will have earned on my Casino’s House Money standing at $92.05.
How on earth could I ever complain as I sit with a net profit of $92.05!
Over And Out.
Cap and Patti
Oops. How could I forget. This afternoon, (the 25th) at 1:05pm, I have my Wet Macular Degeneration injection into my left eye.

The lighthouse is my favorite too! Just love that pic 📸! What a hoot about your players card! Prayers your eye appointment goes well! Lovingly, Ginny ❤️
Hi Ginny, just now, this instant, I sent you four different photos of the Lighthouse. The eye appointment and the procedure went as well as can be expected. Slowly Ginny, I the patient am doing better tolerating the process. Cap..
Patti was with me but she can’t look. She looked down at the floor and when she saw the Doctor walking away she looked up. Smiles Ginny.
Players card? We all do it. I spent 20 minutes looking for my reading glasses. They were hanging from my tee shirt.
Exactly! Precisely! You understand how these Senior Moments creep into your life. More Smiles Gullible.. Cap and Patti
But, I have to say your senior moment wins the Internet for the day.
Now here is my Rhetorical Question.. Am I happy to have won Gullible’s award for the Senior Moment For The Day on the Internet? Smiling Gullible Cap and Patti
I definitely got a chuckle out of your double senior moment – you not seeing it hang from your neck (our brain tends to ignore our body because it’s always there) and Eddie’s for not seeing it on you. I have looked for many things, repeatedly in the same spot only to find it there a few minutes (or days) later. I misplaced a water glass a while back (my glasses are all different neon colors). It took several days before I noticed it on the bookshelf that I walk by many times every day. The bookshelf is always there so my brain ignores it.
I hope your appointment went well.
What to do Kathleen but laugh! Oh My, Oh My, Quite often I too can be looking directly at something and NOT see it. Amazing phenomenon isn’t it Kathleen. Yes Eddie himself was surprised that he didn’t see my Players Card hanging from my neck. I just replied to Ginny that I the patient seem to be tolerating the eye process a little better each appointment. As I write Tuesday evening my left eye is in some minor discomfort Kathleen. BUT, from the very first injection, my eyesight has been just fine NO “curtain” so “I will happily take the process!” Thanks for your comment Kathleen. Cap and Patti who was part of the appointment.
