Wed 4 Feb Day 25

Another sunny day blooms.  Sheila slept in till 9:30 or so.  We made a scramble of eggs & asst. goodies for breakfast that turned out well.  Then I took off to the noon water VB game while Sheila took a pail of clothes to the two giant wash tubs beside one of the washrooms in the dry camping area and washed them.  After which, Sheila went off her line dancing class from 1 to 2:30.  It ended ½ hour early so they could set up for the Casino Night tonight.  Sheila is going, I’m not.  For your $7.50 admission you get $3,800.00 in play money which you can use at the end to bid on items they auction off or you can buy stuff from a little odds & ends store they have set up.  I went last time we were here but I do find that playing Blackjack or Poker or any gambling card game for play money defeats the purpose of the game.  So while Sheila was in her line dance class I stayed by the pool in the hot tub and sat in the sun, (& shade so as not to burn). After her class Sheila went back to the RV around 3 PM and reported that it was 80 F in the shade & 85 F in the sun, (that’s about 27 to 30 C), and it was 85 F in the RV with all the doors & windows open.  Sheila arrived by the pool in time for the 4 PM game.  I played but looking into the sun makes it difficult & I miss balls as I can’t see where they are and that’s on top of balls I just miss anyway. After the game we went to Freddy’s for supper, they serve a very nice meal complete with soup or salad, main dish, and dessert for between $7.50 & $9.50 depending on the dish.  Tonight it was Egg Flower soup, (which was excellent), Teriyaki chicken, rice, an egg roll & dessert, (a grilled pineapple slice, topped with sauce & flaked almonds).   After supper we drove back to the RV where I stayed & Sheila went off to the Casino Night.  She was very tired so she didn’t stay the whole 3 hrs.  She bought one item in the store—a pump for a 3 or 5 gallon water jug and played Blackjack a bit.  She figures she won 1000 dollars play money doing that.  When she left, she gave her unspent money, $2200 to Les & Dorothy to play or bid with.  She brought home a huge piece of apple pie for us to share which only cost $1.50 real money.  I had been charging the computer for quite a while using our 300 Watt inverter plugged into the dash 12V outlet.  It turns out the inverter draws more current than I realized, at bedtime our batteries showed zero charge.  Of course that was from the indicator lights because the interior lights were still working, but dim, and the water pump worked etc. but the batteries were very low. Deal with that in the morning when I can run the generator, even if I have to jump power from the car to the RV to start the generator.
