MISSISSIPPI

Me and 3 other guys from work, packed the car and headed east to a little Vegas on the coast. It was a YEE HAW weekend. I just got back from Biloxi, Mississippi about 3 hours away. Luckily our boss let us out of work early on Friday, which made for an early arrival in time for a great dinner. We asked the front desk where to eat and the lady just raved about the food at a place called Shadies. While the place was legit I think the namesake came from the neighborhood. Anyways, we enjoyed some amazing oysters and gumbo before throwing back a local Mississippi brew. The beer was Southern Pecan by Lazy Magnolia, WOW it was nice. From the restaurant we headed to the Hard Rock Casino. Once inside I had a crash course in Craps and ended up taking home about $500 bucks. The night ended with a $7 limo ride back to the hotel like big spenders, it was the same prices as cabs.

Saturday started late and we made it to te Grand Virage Buffet. Riding high from the night before I think I hit the jackpot again eating about $30 in shrimp and crab legs. The next festivity was the Rodney Atkins country music concert. My buddy Blain was able to get tickets from a friend that allowed us to meet and greet Rodney before the show. A special thanks to Kati for hooking us up. The picture below says it all. The show was great and we had the best time. Unfortunately we headed to the Hard Rock again and I treated them to about all my winnings from the night before.

Now its Sunday night and its back to the grind. TWIC cards this week which are passports to go offshore. Maybe in another 2 weeks I’ll have news on when I’m going offshore, until then I’m studying. Here is a teaser from a guy in well testing who just got back. The basket is the way you get onto the rig.
