Monday - Feb 3rd

A cooler day, I think the high was 60F/15C, well that feels chilly to us snowbirds.  No short pants today.
  Went out to the post office this AM & Marg complained about the line up.  Seems everyone mails off their packages on Monday morning.  Then to the bank after that and the place was packed.  Everyone must bank on Mondays. Marg said the line ups in there were long.  Well maybe it was the folks got a package of money from home and then went to the bank - could be, well for some anyway.
  Then it was Walmart for some groceries.  Marg found the lime/beer combo that she had a Tortilla flats & got a dozen, so it looks like the gals will be party hardy again.  While we were in there we came across a couple from Ohio down here, the lady is a friend from a while back.  The result was we went out to lunch with them.  Went to hackers and the food was pretty darn good.  It was our first time there this winter, but it had been pretty good in previous years.
  In the afternoon I played some pool.  Have not been playing much and it showed.  They took it easy on me, so we had fun.  One of the guys is from Minnesota & we always have a few laughs.  It was the first time I played him as he has been having problems with his shoulder.  One of the other guys is a rated player, level 7 I think, but he goes pretty easy on us.
  When I got back, the Mediacom guys were stringing some cable, so who knows we may get cable tv before too much longer.  I think they must have got their act together because Marg tore them a new one after we sat around all day Saturday and they never showed.  Marg had gone to the Superstition famers market for a few things.  We buy most of our fruit and vegetables there, as it is so much fresher and cost less.  The oranges there are just like they are fresh off the tree & lettuce so firm she says it is more like cabbage.  Anyway all she could carry for $8.
  Supper was cooked by my charming wife and was very good.  A pasta & meatball dish.
