Saturday, Mar 9th

Got up and went to breakfast in the hall: sausage, eggs &; pancakes.  Jerry was making the pancakes, so had to go and check him out.  Sat with a bunch of bachelors, LOL, guys who like me have a wife that don't do breakfast.  It was a good way to start the day, most important meal of the day!  It seems Jerry was splashed by a passing car so bad he had to go in to shower and change.  We had lots of fun with kidding him about it.  Funny for everyone else, I guess. 
  After we went out for lunch to the 5 &; Diner.  I think I described it before, but it as road-side diner with décor out of the 60's and they play old rock & roll on the juke box.  The waitresses wear poodle skirts and period clothes.  Food is good too, especially the milkshakes & the service is usually great.   Although we never had a shake, I think they have over 100 flavors.
  Stopped and got some water.  We are buying water for coffee now.  It's 15 cents a gallon, so no big deal, but the water here doesn't make good coffee.  There are water stations all over the place here, you just pull up and its all self serve.  The tap water is fine for most other things, but we are fussy on how our coffee tastes.  Also picked up some propane cylinder for the bbq, they were half the price I paid last week.  All this at KMart where we went for the first time, in Mesa.
  Supper was a shrimp stir fry in the motorhome. Had a couple of drinks of scotch tonight as the prescription is finished.  Almost forgot how good that stuff tastes.  LOL
  Kind of a cool day, so we didn't do much other than that bit of running around.
