Don't Get Near Burdie W/King Crablegs!
Let's start from the beginning.The Denver Gold Show was this wknd,so I planned to go and would pick Burdie and Vickey up on the way at a motel in Salina,Ks friday morning.Denver is 800mi from my place and Salina is just over 300mi from here.I told Burdie I would leave at 2am and should be in Salina about 8-830am.Well,of course I couldn't sleep and it was raining so I actually left at 1am because I thought it might take a little longer with the weather.I hit Salina just before 6am.No way was I gonna wait 2hrs,so yep,I called them and they were still asleep! I gave them 30min to be at the door.They made it and after a quick drive thru McDonalds for them to have a hearty breakfast on the go,we headed for Denver.Then it wasn't 5hrs later,that they wanted to stop and eat for cryin' out loud.So we stopped again and this time I let them sit down in a restuarant.We were actually going to Idaho Springs(about 30mi past Denver in the mtns).We hit I.S. about 3pm Denver time and Burdie was driving and he headed right for the casino in Central City,but Vickey and I convinced him to at least let us check in at our motel first,so he relented.He had talked about the casino having 'all you can eat' King crab Legs the whole trip out.We checked in and 10 min later back in the car and headed to the casino so Burdie would quit pouting.We fooled around the slots for about an hour and then there was no more holding him back.We hit the Buffet!Folks,when Burdie came back to the table ,he had a platter(about the size of a #2 washtub),with all these red,long gangly legs hanging over the edge all the way around,I thought he had a platter of boiled spiders.He sat down and buried his face in it and Vicky and I didn't see him again for 30min when he went for some more.Vicky just had two bites and felt ill,I just had coffee since I have kinda been off my feed lately.Went back to the slots and Vickey was instantly cured.She and Stan went to the penny slots(heh,heh) and I went to the dollar slots(arh.arh).Well just as I went broke,Vickey comes running up and says we just won $500 on a penny slot,so I went to watch.Well got back to the motel about 1030 and they talked me into sleeping in until 7am.Then it was breakfast,again,and then to Denver to the show.The show was not real good.Many of the venders(mfr's) didn't come and so the show was only about half the size it normally is.Stayed all day until 4pm.One thing to mention to you White's guys,there no longer is a 'Vision' detector.I asked the White's dealer why he didn't have one and he picked up a 'Spectra or Spectre' labeled one and said this is it.It's the same detector but White's has had to change the name because the name 'Vision' had already been used by someone.So,if you have one labeled 'Vision',I'd hang onto it.Well at 4pm,it was back to the slots and those crab legs again,just no way of keeping Burdie from those.Did the slots again until about 10pm,again me losing and them winning,but I knew I was going to have my revenge yet to come.Arriving at the motel about 1030pm,I told them that we needed to leave at 4am Denver time.With eyes and mouth open,Vickey said to call her at 330am and they'd be ready.You should have heard that voice when she answered at 330am!But they were ready at 4 and we left.80 mi down the road it was feed time again for them and where we stopped that use to have great food,the food was really bad,except,Burdie liked it.Got them to Salina at 1230 and I got home about 430.
But honestly and truely,I really enjoyed my time with them.They are great people and I had fun and was glad they came with me.I had warned them that it was going to be a quick out and back trip and besides Vickey had to work today.Don't be surprised if Burdie shows up before long with a sure-fire,relic gettin' new detector! Stan,Vickey,I love you guys and thank you for making the trip a whole lot more enjoyable for me.Penny Slots Forever!

We had more laughs playing that machine. WSD was so generous to take us to a smoke free State. Thank You big time WSD. 
I had never been to a Gold show before but learned a lot. Had a great time. One of the best things I liked though was WSD eating a 3 feet long hot dog. I am not kidding!!! He walked around kind of funny for a while. 
I do have to admit our sleeping habits are off that's for sure. 
Glad your safe and sound back home. Your number one in our books WSD.
