THURSDAY / MARCH 20 /VIRGIN VALLEY 4X4 CLUB POKER RUN

THURSDAY

MARCH 20 2025

VIRGIN VALLEY 4X4 POKER RUN

I was up at 5AM and let Riley outside for potty. 

She went back to bed and I went to the sofa to sleep. 

I heard Hubby get up and let all the dogs outside for potty. Then I fell back to sleep. By the time I woke up at 7:30AM, he had fed the dogs and cats. 

Hubby was already dressed. I got up and dressed. Put on warm clothes because our spot on the Poker Run is supposed to be in the mountains. I put on my Under Armour shirt. Put on socks and boots. 

I packed a bag with cheese sticks, meat sticks, jerky, honey drops, water bowl, winter hat, and winter gloves. I even put in a roll of toilet paper. I took along some extra jeans for Hubby in case he has wet pants.

Hubby had already packed everything into the Jeep. Table, RMOR flag, Door prizes, buckets to hand out, chairs to sit in at the stop. 

I made a hot cinnamon/honey latte for Hubby, a hot tea for myself.

Hubby warmed up turkey bacon for me.

Hubby cleaned cat litter. Hubby washed his hair in the kitchen sink. 

I stayed at home with the dogs while Hubby drove to the shop in the FMF. 

When Hubby got back at 9:35AM, we loaded PBJR into the Jeep and left Riley & Tater home. 

I had made ANOTHER hot cinnamon/honey latte for Hubby because he left his other drink at the SHOP.

The Jeep would not start. 

The Jeep would not start. The battery was dead. 

Hubby put the charger on the Jeep. It would not take a charge. Hubby was really upset. I took PBJR for a walk down to the mailbox to see if we could mail her DNA testing tube, but it was too big to fit inside. So we came back and went outside to sit on the back patio with the dogs. 

Hubby called the President of the 4x4 Club and he said we could meet him at the First Point at the base of Limekiln. So we transferred everything into the FMF and drove up there. PBJR was excited. She fell asleep.

We met Tim, the president of the club. Then he gave us the bucket of Poker cards and a list of names we were to mark off. 

They left and then we started getting people driving their Jeeps and picking up their cards. EVERYBODY loved PBJR. I was so busy that I forgot to take pictures of our stop.

We had lots of fun handing out the buckets of candy, antiseptic gel, chapstick, and handcream. Everybody was happy to get a bucket.

BUCKETS

We stayed there until 12:17 and only one person did not show up. We told Tim that we were leaving. 

Drove to Walmart to wash the car at the Falcon Ridge Car Wash.

Then we drove to Wendys to pick up burgers, chicken nuggets, and french fries for the dogs. 

At home, I unloaded PBJR. Ran into the house to pee. Then let the dogs outside for potty. 

I unloaded everything from the FMF. Hubby worked on putting the charger on the Jeep. For SOME STRANGE REASON, THE CHARGER HAD BEEN TURNED OFF THE ENTIRE TIME WE WERE GONE.

So Hubby started the charger again. 

Hubby left for the shop in the FMF. 

I did bookwork. I put away clean clothes. I put away clean dishes. 

Hubby worked as usual at the shop. It was a busy day.

At 3PM, he left and went to Mad Mike's for the winning results. He took the Door Prizes that we donated.

We had paid for the Live Music $200, a first round of beer for everybody, pizza, and hot wings-$300.

Hubby was home by 4:30PM. He brought some left-over pizza and hot wings. 

I had a slice of pepperoni pizza. Gave some to the dogs. 

I did bookwork until 7PM. Hubby sat with me in the office.

Hubby sat down to watch TV at 7PM.
