Liberte & The P'witz's Black Jack Attack

By: Sara Liberte

So during the Builders Breakfast in Sturgis this year, Dave calls me over and asks what I had planned for the night, “I don’t know, more work as usual” I said. Dave said “well you should come with us to Danny Gray’s for a party tonight.” Party, did Dave say Party? Do I like to Party, ahhhh duhh, “of course I’m going” I said.
Now while I’m at Rally’s working with my camera gear I’m usually in a rental car to rack up miles and keep my gear safe, so Jody asks if we can take the rental since we had a bunch of people to get there. No Problem, my little 4 cylinder Dodge will get all 7 of us there. Ya, 7 people packed in the Dodge Caliber, it no doubt looked like a god dam clown car when we all piled out, but the best part was my foot slammed on the gas pedal with the RPM’s redlined at 9,000 and we were only doing 55mph!

We finally get to the party, (I think the rental needs an oil change.) Sue, Jody, Kory, Jeff and I found some seats at a table with snacks, we soon realized this was a card table, found the poker chips, a deck of cards and the black jack attack began. Pauly decided to be dealer, (Don’t quit your day job Barrasso) and we all anti-up’d and got the party rolling. People were actually waiting in line to get in on the game we had going. We played all night long Me, Jody and Sue kicked ass, no one could touch us, Tom Pirone from TP engineering then took over as dealer and things got good.

Sue was wining every hand! Paul Tetuel Jr. even had to get in on the action, (hey Jr. Don’t quit your day job, you suck at black jack, and you make to much money to leave anyway.) Joe Pro finally came over to try to get in the game but could only manage to yell “wooohoooo” every 5 minutes or so. Kory found a mascot to hang around his neck and by the end of the night had enough signatures to some day get a few bucks for it on EBAY.

A challenge was made at the end of the night, who’s 4 cylinder rental packed with people would get back to Spearfish first, Liberte’s or Paul Jr’s. So we piled back up into the rental and had a cannonball run back to Spearfish, um of course we won! Another fun time with my pals the P’witz’s.
