Thursday - a bit late

Had a long day yesterday, so never got to the blog post, so here I am on a Friday morning getting caught up.
  The day started chilly again, but my Canadian friends are still in shorts and tee shirts.  Me long pants and a hoodie in the morning.
  We both went down for coffee and donuts.  The donuts were free, well someone paid for them, but a nice surprise.  We had a guest speaker, he runs an entertainment business and provides musicians, comedy acts, etc. and does a bit of it himself.  He was really funny and did some magic acts [leger main] for us that were very good. The entertainment committee were in touch with him and he came to speak for 10 minutes, although I am sure it was longer.  After the meeting ended the entertainment committee met to discuss the act as well as plans for Pub nite on Saturday.  I think they found him a bit expensive, but have not ruled out trying to strike deal.  As Marg is on the entertainment com I walked back to our place rather than sit around for more meeting.
  The guys went bike riding, there were 5 of us.  We took our traditional route to Idaho again, with the shortcut.  That gave us about 4 1/2 or 5 miles.  The odometer said 5 1/2, but I am not certain Larry had it set for the right size of bike wheel.  A good workout for me anyway.
  I wanted to look for some corner brackets and thought the selection would be better at a larger store, so we went to Home Depot.  I got enough options there to deal with my sagging shelves [there are two now].  I also got a couple of small size metric wrenches.  They are kind of rare here, so don't show up at many garage sales and they are two commonly needed sizes.  They were only $2.50 so not much more that the dollar or so at garage sales.  Oh yeh, a bigger plastic container for recycle stuff as the current one is too small.
  When I got back I fixed the two cupboard shelves and they seem fine now.  Then we opted to leave the liquor where it is, so got a bunch of stuff re-arranged in the now secure top shelf.  We have so much less cupboard space here we have to work at managing it.  I know we should be minimalists, but that doesn't seem to be in our nature.
  A ride through the park to check the mail and we stopped to visit Mickey. He bought a second park model from Canadian lady who will not be returning.  He gave us a bit of a tour, nice unit.  He is going to be living in this one and already has renters for the other for the months of Feb & Mar.  At $1,500 a month, if he can get 4 or more months rent every year, it will be a decent investment return.  The unit has an Az room with stacking laundry, that should be OK once he gets the electrical in it figured out and he is not handy at all.
  On the way back we chatted with the Blanke's for a bit saying we were going to Casino Arizona to play bingo, why not join us.  Well they jumped at the chance, so we had six for the evening.  Marg had already arranged with 2 of the gamblin' gals to go tonight.  We had heard how good the food was, so opted to have the shrimp dinner for supper at the casino.  It was mostly close, but no cigar, except for Lynett who won $200 at one of the first games.  The gals did lots of kibitzing, so had a good time.  This was the same place I had my previous big win, so you can imagine how disappointed I was to not cash in.  We had to drop Cindy off, so never got back to the park until a little after 10.
