Day 48 Tuesday March 4

Another sunny hot day, although with the wind they have in the Yuma area it helps to make 80+ degrees F feel nice.  Sheila phoned her dentist to confirm 11:30 appointment still OK and she headed out.  I went over to casino to check out buffet times & check out the bar poker machines, (& complimentary drinks too), didn’t do well, I couldn’t get more than 1 or, once, 2 pair so I slowly went down & quit after $10.00 loss. Back at the RV I cleaned front windshield and then I just vegged out.  About 2:15 and no Sheila I started the gen for the A/C unit in the bedroom figuring she would be hot & tired and would appreciate a cool room to lie down in. The RV isn’t heating up that much due to the breeze blowing in the open windows up front. It still gets up to and over 80 F but with the breeze it is comfortable.  Sheila got home about 2:30 and has one more appointment to complete her dental work either Thursday or Friday, and then she is done.  After running the gen an hour the speedometer showed one less mile to empty so looks like the gen burns 1 mile’s worth of gas an hour, (the RV gets about 6 or 7 mpg to US gallons), which is around 50 cents.  Depending on gas prices, that’s not too bad.  Sheila wanted to try one of the PPA, (Passport America), ½ price RV parks so she made the dental appointment for Thursday and we will get a spot for Thurs. and Fri nights and head back to Hemet & GVP on Saturday morning. We went to the Quechan casino supper buffet which was $13.95, a little high, but we can celebrate that her dental work is going well. And it was a great buffet, nice lean prime rib sliced to order.  I came back to the RV after supper & Sheila stayed to gamble.  The video poker machines have been much kinder to her than me.  She’s not winning big, ie. Jackpots, but she is winning.
