Wednesday, Mar 11th

Another gorgeous day in the valley.
  We were both up at a reasonably early hour [well for us anyway] as we both had commitments.  It was golf day for the park at Apache Sun and Marg was going with the gamblin' gals to the Fort.  By the time we got out and about, it was starting to warm up.
  Gerry got here in good time and we left at our regular 8 AM.  The road was clear and the school zones were not in effect, so it must be spring break here.  We made it to the course in good time and ended up playing with the organizers, so were in the last foursome.  Gerry is pretty much getting over his pneumonia and played well.  I had a decent game, but the putter wasn't working as well.  How bad is that, well on #3, I putted for a bird, then a par and settled for a bogie.  It was a 4 turtle day, very ominous and just when I thought we beat them, Terry put her drive in water.  She claimed I jinxed her.  Then on #6 her husband Gary put two balls in the water.  I knew it would be bad, never having seen 4 turtles before.  All in all a great game.
  Marg did well at the Fort, came away only losing $10, so that's like winning.  I think she had big expectations after winning at the hall last night, but alas did not break the bank up there.  Sounded like the girls had a great time and they came back all smiles, so that was perfect.
  After making a sandwich, I went back on the drawer project.  This final drawer was one that had to be fabricated.  It was sure made easier with the use of the table saw.  Lynette seemed pleased that it was working so well as Bud was pretty particular on who could use his tools.  She told Marg that he had said he trusted me to use them, I guess it was kind of an emotional moment for them.  The drawer project is not done, but there are now 4 of them, so the bank is full and they just need to be finished now.  It was pretty warm by the time I go on to the project, especially out on the patio where there is no shade.  Not sure how hot it got in the sun, but in the shade in our breezeway you can see how warm it was.  Another funny thing, the neighbour left their sprayer on the patio with a note on how it operates.  Lets see - what's wrong with that picture?  Don't get it-- their sprayer, their weeds [well some of mine], starting to get the picture!
  After finishing the drawer project I went to happy hour.  Marg and the gals showed up shortly after, as the driveway where we gather is Nancy's [aka one of the gamblin gals].  Shortly after it was time for supper, pulled pork at the old homestead.    After supper is was cake building time for Marg.  She needed on to take to the ladies tea tomorrow.  Get this she is wearing a hat tomorrow, now there is a first.  I went to play poker, we had a full table.  I have been on a losing streak, but really turned it around tonight and came home with a full bag of change.  Must sign off, busy day tomorrow.
