Monday

HOT HOT HOT, it was 93F today, that would be 34C for my Canadian friends.
  I went for a bike ride with Larry today, there were no others willing to brave the early morning heat that was already building.  It was unusual in that the roadside was full of running water.  The line into the park to the east of us apparently sprung a leak and they must have lost a huge amount of water, anyway the birds and critters around here seemed to enjoy it as a bonus today.  We made our 5 miles and when we got back they had it down to a trickle, so it was a short lived treat for the critters.
  Marg went to water aerobics and they had about a dozen ladies today.  She said the water temp was much better and it was very refreshing.  The pool must cool off quite a bit at night with the drop in air temp around here.  It actually gets chilly after dark and often see folks with a jacket on.  I guess that's just another reason why the early settlers found the area so difficult.
  We had a nice lunch on the patio and enjoyed a very welcome breeze.  We are just about ready to go for water again, that 5 gallons only lasts us about 5 days and it is strictly used for drinking, so we are keeping well hydrated.
  I made up a memory stick with pictures from the wedding ceremony and ice cream social yesterday for Larry & Sue.  Then we took them down to Walmart where I got prints made 17 cents a picture, how can you beat that.  I also bought a small memory stick and put all of them on it so that Sue can make more, alter them or do as she pleases.  Then we went to a dollar store where Marg got some treats for the bingo table.  I don't bother with them, but the rest seem to enjoy munching while daubing, multi-tasking for seniors I guess.  After we went to Walgreen as they had a good sale flyer and Marg picked up some goodies.  Well mostly she got stuff for around the house, like Melatonin & Aleve which was a real good deal.  She has been sleeping much better since she started taking it in the evening.  She is experiencing better results with Aleve than the Tylenol and what not.
  When we got back we dropped off the pictures and memory stick for the newlyweds.  It was right across the street from the happy hour location tonight.  Sometimes we move around and tonight it was at chez Binger.  There was quite a group there, I would estimate 15 - 20, but the noise level was not nearly as high as usual, probably because the guys were doing most of the talking, LOL.
  Supper was a great breast of chicken, baked potato, yam and a new kind of pea called Green Pigeon Peas.  They were not like the ones we normally have, they were actually more like chick peas or garbonzo beans [not sure about that spelling].  They were good, well not as good as garden peas at home, but still fine.  After we had a few visitors and then took a walk around the park.  While sitting out on the patio we heard a few noises that sounded like gunshots, 3 I think, but they were quite far away.  Usually this is just some guy chasing off coyotes or critters like snakes, but you never really know.  Oh yeah booked an oil change for Thursday, it is advertised at $15.95, I opted not to go for the $19.95 one where they do a tire rotation.  Will let you know how it turns out.
