On the road again, and this time there wasn’t any air travel. I love to drive, and trips down to Groton allow me to stop by at my brother’s house and play some Warcraft before driving over to the shipyard. I helped my brother with his taxes (although he wasn’t too happy with the results), and was able to share some beers that I had picked up at the Berkshire Mountain Brewing company on the way down. I particularly liked the Old Pluto, a very well made old ale. Dave and Christine paid me with pizza and a swift Palomino for my game character.
The next day starts way too early, leaving Dave’s by 5 AM to ensure that I made it to work on time. It was great tour of EB’s facilities, and I was really beat at the end of day. I went to check out our old houses (we used to live off of Partridge Hollow Rd), and then cruised up to the Mohegan Sun for dinner. I love this little casino, it was built on the site of an old park where the INDIANAPOLIS crew used to have picnics (all the soda a kid could drink. I was drawn to the casino because they just opened a Margaritaville, and I wasn’t disappointed. I had a Lone Palm (an Anheuser Busch product brewed for the restaurant chain) and fish tacos. I chased the meal down with a loaded Land Shark, a beer spiked with their lime tequila. 
I then took my $30 in slot machine winnings and bought Jenn a T-shirt for Valentine’s Day (nothing says class like Jimmy Buffett).
I ended up at the Mohegan Sun brewpub and sat down to try their Cold Moon Ale. I couldn’t figure out why I wasn’t being served until I realized that I was sitting at a video poker seat. I put in $10 and started playing, and the bartender offered to get me a drink. When I finished my beer, and lost my $10, I asked what I owed. Turned out that the beer was on the house, and so my free beer only cost me the $10. Got to love casino logic. -5013
