The Ides of March be upon you!
  Missed the blog post yesterday because the computer was having a problem.  Apparently there are some bugs in Windows 10, like the start button doesn't always work and other annoying things.  Marg went on line with the Ipad and found we could revert to Windows 8.1, so we did it but then the computer took its' own sweet time, so we had not access to it last night.  Gotta love this technology!
Monday
  Marg spent the day in and around the park model with that nasty sinus/cold thing she had going on, basically as sick as a dog.  I went for a bike ride with the guys first thing and we made about 5 miles.  That wasn't bad as the wind was blowing pretty good.  There were 5 of us and we stopped for Gary to feed the donkey again.  I need to remember to take a camera, it's a nice animal and as soon as Gary rides to the fence, comes right to him so it can get the carrots he brings.  Katie you know all about feeding donkey's carrots, don't you darling.  Then I did some stuff around here in the morning and went to the pharmacy to get some cold & flu stuff for Marg. Then after lunch went golfing to Encanto.  Pat & Diane from here went with me, so meeting Gerry there, we had a foursome.  The course traffic was not too heavy and we got our 18 holes in well within the 4 hours.  Traffic coming back was also light, seems spring break is impacting all these things, in a positive way.  They should let kids out of school every time I want to golf.  LOL  We got to travel in the HOV lane, so most of the journey was at 70mph plus.
  Supper was dining in with some brats Marg had put on in the slow cooker.  That thing comes in handy for many different purposes here and is invaluable.
Tuesday
  Miracle of miracles, Marg was feeling much better today.  She got out a bit, so we went to Walmart to exchange the Dr Scholls insert for my shoes as I am having a problem with my arch on one foot.  Then we went to the Superstition Farmers market where we got some oranges, plums and veggies.  Filled a shopping cart for $10 and it's all very good quality, very fresh.  Funny thing, the guy in the line behind us got chatting with us.  Turns out he lives in a place where there is not grocery nearby, so was stocking up on vegetables, had 2 buggies full.  He told us he came to get some oranges from a farm in the area and had a box in the parking lot.  When we saw his truck we had to laugh, he had the truck box absolutely full of oranges.
  When we got back, I went to play pool  I played with some guys who are usually quite a bit better than me, but I got on a hot streak.  The first guy I played, I beat in all but one game.  Then I played two other guys, both very good.  How good, well Dick used to play for $1,000 a game.  Anyway it was a 2 vs 1 situation, so whoever breaks plays the others and when I played by myself beat them.  Probably never happen again.
  While I was busy with that, Linda stopped to visit with Marg.  It seems one of the new people in the park created quite a stir at the pool this morning sometime just after water aerobics, I guess.  The story goes, they were kicked out of a neighbouring park and came here renting a year 'round site.  He was talking to other people in the pool about Wednesday night being a sex in the pool night and recruiting for other to join him and his wife.  A quick trip to the park manager's office by Marg & Linda and it seems that is not the intended use for the swimming pool after all.  Go figure.  Then while she was visiting around the park, she got a headboard for our bed from a friend.  Then she had a couple of ladies for cold drinks and gossip and one mentioned the reno they did on their Az room and that they had a door they were discarding.  Turns out it is exactly what we need for our Az room, so I had to go and pack that home.  Talking to Jim while picking up the door, it turns out he used to play a lot of golf, but hasn't much here.  I think he is considering joining in the Wed. morning play at Apache Sun, time will tell, but he was worried his game is not where it should be to play with us.  Told me he scored 45 last week on that course, sheesh, he would be in the top half dozen at that rate.
  Supper again at home, but tonight it was bbq.  We Had steak and roasted potatoes with vegetables.  It was very good, then off to bingo tonight.  We were very close, but alas the drought continues.  We could certainly use a win.  Gerry & Deb stopped in for coffee and cake after and we had a nice evening with them.  Well it's midnight, so better go rest up for golf tomorrow.
