I found some notes about the Dec 19 2009 Blizzard way back in my IPB board notes, in the Archives. I am going to put a lot of that up in Google Drive. I added some modern formatting as well.
Posted December 20, 2009.
It's amazing that I could remember so much detail from my Midweek trip this week, writing it up at 2am TWO DAYS after coming home at 353am Friday Dec 18. This is 2am Sunday Dec 20. I got badly sidetracked by a 24 inch blizzard here that hit on Saturday all day long.
This is an extraordinary situation. Page M132 was originally designed to contain three days' worth of information. However, I spent two days at CharlesTown, from 413pm on Tuesday afternoon to 219am on early Friday morning, not arriving home til 353am Friday morning.
I managed to scrape 40 and Dad gave me a 50 bank.
One thing I noticed was that it was real hard to establish a ChinaBlack Interval profile on any SunMoon because people either played very long or in the case of the guy (Larry) playing the Lady slot in the RedZone Tuesday night, he had access to an additional 100 dollars of resources and so played the Lady slot thru to a bonus then another ultimately reaching 6000 then 8000 credits.
In addition, there was a tremendous amount of modeling going on at EUSWX and I was totally agog reading EasternUSWX threads from Monday on into Thursday, then Friday as well as it became obvious that N VA was in for a major snowstorm on Saturday. I ended up getting completely enthralled with EUSWX Friday morning from 430am to 7am no less before finally getting to bed, then sleeping til 120pm on Friday afternoon and reading EUSWX. From then on it was a downhill progression right into the snowstorm Friday night at 730pm and lasted on into this evening, Saturday night. I am only beginning to get back on Twitter and to address this situation as of 130am Sunday morning. Because of two feet of snow outside, I can not even get out of the frackin driveway, so am staying up tonight.
In fact I am having real trouble transitioning back to Twitter and social media from the storm. I had next to no trouble transitioning from CharlesTown to the impending storm though. I felt a few pangs about CharlesTown early Friday morning as I read EUSWX but those soon vanished as the impending snowstorm took hold during Friday afternoon.
I can still remember hearing the SunMoon slot songs in my head Friday evening as well as songs played in the casino including some Christmas songs, but the storm soon took completely over. Some intrigue associated with winter has developed at CharlesTown about the cold this week there and some snow I saw there last Tuesday night at 930pm that soon changed to rain.
Met Susan 10pm Wed night in RedZone at the Lady slot. She wins all the frackin time!
Saw Billie at the Dream slot from 615pm to 830pm on Tue night. She brought Jessica along. Billie wins all the time.
Saw Billie again for about two hours from 4pm to 630pm at the Billie slot and various SunMoon machines in the Central Grotto that Wed evening. Wed night while with Billie I played 9 bets and 18 bets on the Debo slot for 30 minutes, only to run low on money without getting the bonus, only to have another lady play a 9 bet a minute later and hit the bonus and win 120 dollars that I ached for so badly afterward. I only had about 40 dollars left at the time.
I also met Debbie and her mom at the Debo slot at 930 pm Tue night.
I saw Jim again Thur afternoon about 5pm in the Cen Grotto. He said that after he won the 195 dollars at the ChinaBlack slot at 5pm last Thursday, he went to the penny machines where he won 900 dollars. That was the Thursday when I was so tired I had consciousness interruptions with dreams overlaid on wakefulness all afternoon and night. That Thursday was VERY DIFFICULT for me because I was so tired. Sleeping 5.5 hours (that is, I slept 630am to730am, ate breakfast for 1st time at hotel then slept from 8am to 1230pm!!!) this Tuesday night made a world of difference this Weds and another 4 hours sleep (5am to 9am, also ate sausage and yogurt for breakfast) Wed night made a good deal of difference on Thursday, especially when you consider that we stayed on as it turned out, to 219am Friday before finally leaving. The Dad let me play SunMoon at 1130pm with about 60 dollars. I was able to later build about 55 although before 630pm I had had zero, nada.
ChinaBlack slot and another SunMoon slot were offline from Tue night until about 6pm Thur night.
I noticed that people hit big on SunMoons in the Central Grotto from 3pm to 5pm on Thur afternoon. I played my 12 + 54 +20 dollars at 11am to 2pm and got nowhere. I realized that if I'd waited to play until 3pm-330pm on Thursday I might have hit well.
On Tue night, the Lady slot in the RedZone hit 8000 credits for this frackin guy. I managed to hit the tail end of that at 230am, hitting the bonus on a 9 bet and getting 60 dollars in the process.
On Wed Night a lady (don't know her name) played the Lady slot from 830pm to 130am, winning 12000 credits and hitting the bonus at least FIVE times! I finally got on it at 230am but nothing. While waiting for her to get done so I could play, at about 12 midnight I jebwalked over to the South Wing of the Central Grotto and hit up the East SunMoon with a 9bet, instantly hitting a Bonus. I got about 60 bucks. This illustrates why you should try to hit a Jim bet (18 bet) or a 27 bet for the first hit on a SunMoon, especially late at night, because sometimes you just may hit a Bonus.
Rm 227 last week
Dad got room 109 Tuesday AND Wednesday night. This greatly improved my wakefulness most markedly on Wed and Thursday.
I discovered a new place to recharge my iPhone, upstairs in the RedZone at 11pm on Thursday night. I was really using it to read EUSWX thread about insane NAM qpf totals for the HM Blizzard and I constantly had to recharge it. Also discovered several places to plug in and recharge the iPhone in the Central Grotto and west of it.
Used the shuttle a lot. VERY cold there this trip, highs only low 30s with 19 DPs and lows at night near 20 with breezes that cut right thru you.
First time trying out the computer at the CharlesTown Inn. Real fast computer.
