Tues Feb 19 Day 41    45F/7C @ 8AM,   50F/10C @ 11AM sprinkles,   47F/8C @ 1 PM  

We got up & made the Breakfast Club at DJ restaurant. We decided not to play water volleyball today.  On route home we checked on the Super 8 motel, (for Ross & Judy), & ran a couple errands.  They had the health fair on at GVP so we went over, got a glucose, (blood sugar) check, I was 1.11 – OK – a blood pressure test, - I was a bit high – and they did a grip test, I did great for my age, the aver. is 75 lbs. & I pulled 90 with my right & also with my left hand. They said, usually the dominant hand is about 10 lbs. more.  A lot of the booths were giving out pens so we have our year’s supply of ball point pens plus we got note pads & post-it notes.  They also provided hot dogs & potato chips for lunch and chocolates at most booths.  Not exactly healthy—but they were free!  We also picked up some assorted medical/health information.  Then Sheila went to the mall across the street & got her hair trimmed.   I came back to the RV until time to go out to the Horse Racing event this evening. How the racing works is, for your $1.00 entry, you get $130,000 playing money, plus betting slips and a line up sheet for each of 8 races. They also have the bio & race history on the horses.  The races are on DVD and you bet up to 3 horses per race, then they play the race on the DVD, and the 1^st 2^nd 3^rd   winners come up on the screen with the odds multiplier so you can figure out your winnings.  Then they roll a multi-sided dice and the number that comes up gets scratched.  After 8 races I had $880,000, Sheila had $485,000 and the big winner in the room had $27,400,000.    The doors opened at 6:30 PM, races started at 7 PM and we finished up before 9 PM.  It’s pretty hectic once the races start.  We had some light rain during the afternoon & it stayed quite cool, cold almost, all day, then this evening about 9:30, it began to rain heavier.   Hopefully the sun will return tomorrow.  I checked my email & I had a statement from “Treo”, (the Port Mann toll collectors).  It said I had a credit of $28.50 and they had deducted $1.50 from my $30 credit, (that I got for joining early).  The charge was for Jan 10 when we went over Port Mann with the RV towing the car. The $1.50 charge seems lower than it should be, oh well, my gain, their loss.
