Tuesday

Almost missed posting today, in fact the timing is Wed AM.  Pretty tired last night, probably the weather.  It is above average by a few degrees, but still cooler here with day time highs in the 60's.
  Went for a ride with the guys this AM.  It was cool, but good weather to ride.  Right off the start one was having problems with sore muscles from yesterday and about half way another was having the same with his foot or ankle.  The end result was we quit after 5 miles, which was fine with me as I consider that a good ride anyway.
  Put some meat on the bbq to brown and then Marg made a stew in the slow cooker. It naturally turned out great and there was enough that she sent some home with Lynette, who is one of her buddies [one of the gamblin' gals].
  I spent much of the morning cleaning out the shed.  I had odds and ends everywhere, from last spring and my recent work on the fence.  Some of the stuff I brought with me is jammed in there as well & its not that large, so very crowded.  Managed to get it so I can move around in there anyway and took a bunch of garbage out, some of it stuff the former owner left for me. 
  Marg had made up Christmas cards and some small jars of Saskatoon jam, so we walked around the park and delivered them.  A few new people have shown up in the last two days and anyone who was home resulted in a visit, so it took a bit of time.
  After lunch I went to play pool.  There were just 3 of us and all claimed to not have played since last spring.  Actually all three of us played pretty well and had a few laughs.  Marg went out to the bank as we were running short of cash and then made a few other stops.  On was at Safeway where the had Tullamore Dew on sale and she brought a bottle back.
  By then it was happy hour and it seems the women out number the guys about 2 to one.  Supper was stew, naturally and then off to bingo.  It was a bit smaller crow, lots of people going home for the holiday season.  The airlines here are forecasting the busiest travel season, perhaps ever.  Other people here are not travelling because they can't get flights.  No winners at our table at bingo, but someone has to donate.
