The End - of February

  The last day of February, where does the time go?  It was a beautiful day, the temp got up to 84F/29C but there was a breeze that made it pleasant.
  Got out and worked on the place in the morning.  Did some rebuilding on one of the walls and sanded & worked all the patches I put on yesterday.  Did some work on patching the floor and I think I am done with that now.  Unpacked my new power saw and went around the park borrowing tools, skill saw, drill, level, etc.  Marg cleaned the driveway with the vacuum as there was lots of stuff from the carpet and underlay.  Then she cleaned the floor in the place, the little shop vac I bought is getting a good workout.  Probably had a dozen visitors today checking the job out.  One lady I didn't even know, she just wanted to see what you get for the price we paid.  I told her this is probably the lowest priced unit that will sell this year.  Then she told me how great some other parks are & I felt like saying - why are you here?
  Marg went to water aerobics at 11 & they had their regular bunch out doing the thrash & splash.  After that she brought me lunch to the job site.  Nice sandwiches. 
  In the afternoon I cut some plywood and put in the first piece of underlay.  By that time is was mid afternoon and I decided to quit.  Had lots of tool problems today, some of the tools people lent me, well I'll just say I wouldn't own them if they were free.  Marg brought me some things and I had my first shower in the unit today.  Works just fine, better than in the motorhome.
  Got back to the rv in time for a beer and bbq'ed the sausage.  Marg's water group had a pool party

later in the afternoon and as with all things here it included food.  She took the sausage all chopped into pieces in the slow cooker and made some ham thing on mini-toast with either gherkins or olives in the center, oh yeh cheese sprinkled on.  There were a couple dozen people there as spouses were included.  A couple of ladies who are real characters showed up as Amigos and created quite a stir, lots of laughs.  Some great food and a couple of husbands had a margarita machine that they poured very freely from.
  Barely got done there and we had to go to the animal races.  Oh yeh, the elephant finally won one.  We are exhausted, going to bed early!
