That Ernest Borgnine was a mean son of a bitch. Remember when he would take a metal bar and drag it under the freight cars? lol

Re: [vpFREE] Re: An Old War Horse

 

I just received an email from a vpFREE'er who lives in Florissant, Colorado. It reminded me of....me....in the old days.

This was in the early nineties. When I needed to jump start a bankroll I would head to Frisco, Colorado in Summit County. How I got there depended on where I was at. If I was in Salt Lake City I would jump an east bound Southern Pacific to Glenwood Springs, Colorado, then thumb the rest of the way to Frisco.

Frisco is where the Job Service office is. They ran a day labor out of the back of it. Day laborers made about twice as much as downstream. After putting together a massive $300 bankroll I would thumb Hwy 9 through Fairplay down to Hartsel. Then east on 24 through Florissant to Divide. Then 67 to Cripple Creek and jump in the $1 to $5 Stud 8 games.

If plan A didn't work then plan B was to thumb back to Frisco and work some more day labor. I got away with this tactic many times. I think I averaged about 2 months before I got so low on money I couldn't sit in the games. My longest stretch was about 5 months.

I was beating the games but I had some bad habits. I've been known to rent a weekly hotel room next to a dive bar and sit there on the stool drinking mash and talking trash for days at a time.

In the summertime I stayed in the campground in Cripple Creek. In the winters I would rent a weekly hotel room in Old Town on the west side of Colorado Springs. I would take the day trip busses up to CC everyday.
I think the biggest bankroll I ever put togetther in those days was about $1500.

I don't know if you have ever seen the movie Emperor of the North with Lee Marvin, a movie about hobos. Its actually short for Emperor of the North Pole. Only a hobo like me would know what it means. Its joke amongst hobos. It basically means you a King of Nothing.
