The IDES of March

What a gorgeous day, I think I saw 85F on the car thermometer today. Well not the car, the truck as the car is still at the dealership. They said they are replacing the left front axle and have been waiting for the part. It arrived late in the afternoon and he expects the car to be ready tomorrow. It's pretty neat, the dealership is huge and they have a service consultant that is like your personal contact. We are really enjoying the truck, lots of room. This morning we went to coffee & donuts where the park owner spoke to the group. Nothing too serious, although he did tell us about all the internet/wifi improvements. After I went up to him and said the wifi was either good or terrible, so they still seem to be having problems with managing the allocation of resources. He speculated that it is netflix that is causing their problem, seems to me that should be an easy fix - don't give that much bandwith to the users. Went out to Total Wine, that's the mega booze store. Kenny & Doris went with us and had never been before. They just went to have a look, but ended up needing a shopping cart. The prices are really good. For a laugh Kenny bought 2 bottles of Molson Canadian. $5 for a six pack, that's less than they sell for at home & we are 3,500 km's for delivery. Go figure. When we got back we went to a patio party at Almyra's. She is leaving next week and wanted to cook everything in the freezer, so had a BBQ. The only problem is - she doesn't bbq, so Kenny & I got volunteered to do it. Oh yeh, Kenny doesn't bbq either, so yours truly was the grill meister. There were half a dozen couples and everyone brought a dish, a nice supper & fun event. We had a few wobbly pops, can't bbq without a beer in hand. A fun in the sun day. We are just so busy, looking forward to going home for a rest. We have lots of company down here and are having trouble getting our schedule aligned with Krupka's to see them again. Missed poker last night, missed pool this afternoon - oh well, that's the price of popularity - LOL.
