February 1 to 5, 2012: Superbowl in San Carlos

FEB  1, Wednesday, San Carlos
The welder came back with my bike rack which he repaired and shorten to fit more snugly behind the “Bear”.  He did a great job and only cost $20 Cdn.  It was a hot day, 29*C so we looked for shade.  The park is filling quite fast.  7 rigs came in today, some from the North and a few from the South.  Friends we met last year were part of that group:  Mike and Marlene, Bill & Fran and Roger and his wife.  Good to see them all back here.  Val had to go again to Tai-Chi at 3 pm so I drove her then I went to EL CHEQUE for a hot dog and picked her up at 4 pm.  We came home and had Happy Hour and kept driving people away from our row giving them excuses as to why they couldn’t stay in the space where we had our fire pit.  We had a few good laughs over that.


FEB  2, Thursday, SC
I took Val to the Lot where she had her hair cut by Judy.  It was a quiet and hot day again.  We stopped at “Jacks Knacks” for breakfast and had a skillet of sausage and scramble eggs with just the perfect bite to it.  Steve, Lynden and Leo went fishing and Lynden caught one fish, Steve caught two and Leo had one give him the slip.  Val went for a walk on the beach with Lynn and Charlene then Happy Hour at Al’s place with the dogs getting their usual treats.


FEB  3, Friday, SC
I wasn’t feeling very good today; my stomach felt like I had heavy indigestion!??  I slept for a while but when I got up I felt dizzy...weird.  Of course, Val wants me to go see the doctor and I guess I have to stop being stubborn about it.
Val went to DECALI to visit the book store and came back with none...WOW, a first for her!!!  I went to TONY and bought some Carne Asada (BBQ shredded pork meat) and Chilli Renello (Chilli pepper filled with cheese and cooked over an open fire pit, very good).  We had a short Happy Hour with the gang then went over to Charly’s Rock at 5 pm to meet Joyce and Bill and Pat & Rick for a margarita.  We watched the sunset then came home, had dinner, watched the tube for a while then to bed early.  No fire tonight!


FEB  4, Saturday
A beautiful day, warm but windy to keep the heat down.  We went into Guaymas for lunch then to SORIANA, SAM’s CLUB, and Walmart for some shopping.  We borrowed Joyce and Bill’s member card for SAM’s CLUB where we picked up cookies for Tucker, the only place in town that sells them.  We got home at 3 pm, Happy Hour at 4:30pm, Joyce and Bill joined us, then dinner after walking Tucker.  There are different Happy Hours happening all over the Park, kind of fun to watch!


FEB  5, Sunday, Football SUPERBOWL
We drove to the Lot to drop off a bottle of wine to Judy and chatted with the group.  We made arrangements to meet at the Golf Club for the game as they have the cheapest beer in town.  As we drove out, we thought on checking out the Club and find out the times for the game.  While there, we asked and made reservations for 18 of us then left and stopped at EL CHEQUE for the customary hot dog and coke.  We came home and read for the rest of the day.  At 3:30 pm, after walking Tucker, we went to the Golf Club; the kick-off was at 4:30 pm.  It was a good thing we made the reservations as the place was already very busy.  The waitresses had set up a row of table and chairs for us.  We ended up with 12 of us: eight from the lot, Pat & Rick and us.  We had fun, good food, cheap but cold beer and the Giants won!  We got home at 8:30 pm and were in bed by 9:30!
