Day 44 Sat Feb 25 - slight overcast, sun breaking through. Temp - Hi 70’s

I had to put gas in the car & prices here are hitting $4:00 & up per USG. I looked up Coquitlam online & Costco was $1.30 per litre which would be $4.92 a USG so the price difference from Canada to USA is only around 22 cents per litre not taking exchange into account.
After the volleyball game & hot tub I sat in a lounge chair by the pool till around 1:30, watching Sheila swim lengths. Back at the RV the thermometer was reading 78F, (26C). I think the thermometer outside is a more accurate measure of temp than the forecast because I don’t know where they take the Hemet readings. One place they sometimes quote is March Airbase which is a distance away. Sort of like using downtown Vancouver for Maple Ridge temps, it won’t be accurate. A lazy afternoon, I “rested”, Sheila puttered around & went out to the grocery store. For supper we had Swai, that’s a fish that we got at Winco here. It looks like the Basa Fillets we buy at home. It had a mild flavour & is quite nice. It comes in individually wrapped frozen fillets, 2 lbs for under $3.00! This evening there is a dance at GVP, “Ricky B & the Stingers”. We got there late, 8:30, so only had to pay ½ price - $6.00 for both of us. They were a rock band, quite good and had a good crowd right up to the last number at 10:00. Endre & Joan had planned to join us at the dance, but Endre had a sore hip from a fall off his bike, & Joan hadn’t slept well last night, so was tired.
