D Day

Tuesday was a nice day, sunny & hot. We went for a long walk around the area. The only way to get a walk in here is to leave the park, otherwise it is hard to get 100 ft. Played pool in the PM while Marg went shopping with Sue. Marg played bingo in the evening and won again. It's getting to be a regular thing with her & her bingo buddies. Today was sunny, not quite as warm & Marg declared it was DDay - Dave's day. Gerry came over and we played golf in the morning with the Carefree group. Had probably the best round I have played in many years and the weather was great. Gerry was closest to the pin on 7 for a while, but got beat out. Pretty good deal, $15 for golf & it's a nice course. After lunch I played pool & got in with a good group, lots of laughs. Marg went to pick up a few groceries & got some rainchecks from Safeway for Crown Royal [$13/750 mil bottle]. After we went & bought a new mouse, the old one was getting kind of wonky & a frustrating thing to deal with, so it was well worth the $30 investment. Stopped by Harbour freight [it is in the same centre] to get my free flashlight & they are not in yet. Ron has lots of coupons for free flashlights & between us we have been trying to find out when they get in. For dinner we went to the park function, it was baked potato night - jacket potato for the Brits. They were huge potatoes and you could add almost anything to them. A bowl of chili was optional and we both had one. It was really popular, they baked over 100 potatoes. Poker tonight, a couple of new guys came. Bob & Greg played, they are the guys contesting the pres/vp positions with the tenants assoc. On one hand ,when I called Greg, I told him I thought I was just making a donation to his campaign -LOL . Jerry & I were the big winners, I made $7.20 so was the object of a lot of jokes. Good time was had by all. You know - the old line: Winners tell jokes, Losers say shut up and deal; well even the losers seemed to be having fun here tonight.
