MAR 7, MONDAY; Bike trouble and Insurance meeting
Cloudy
and windy and cooler this morning! Feels
like rain in the air. I took off on my
bike this morning but I only got outside the Park and my main gear for the
pedal ceased up so I took the bike to the shop and found out that the gears
inside had come loose. Got that fix and
brought the bike home. Val went for a
walk on the beach but soon came back as the tide was way up which made it
difficult at places.
A
quiet afternoon and as it progressed, the temperature began falling some and
the clouds moved in. Very few people out
for HH so we stayed home. As we were
watching TV after dinner, it began raining so we rushed out to bring our shoes
under the canopy and close the windows in the Jeep.
MAR 8, TUESDAY;
It is
quite cold this morning, only 12*C at 8 am and the sky is covered with black
clouds but there are blue holes in them.
We had quite a rain fall overnight and a gusting strong wind. This morning, the papers covering the paint
areas are shattered and half is gone.
There is one section left at the back and I don’t think it will be done
today although the guys showed up and spent their time removing all the paper
coverage then went home. We went to town
to get some groceries as we were driving to Guaymas it began raining. We shopped at Walmart then I stopped at a
garage to buy a new windshield wiper for the jeep on the driver side. When we got back to San Carlos, we decided to
go to JJ’s for a beer and tacos as it was still raining. Then it began pouring really hard. The roads are half flooded and it is colder
too, probably around 15*C. Once home,
the rain abated and we quickly got our groceries inside.
Quiet
evening at home, the sun finally came out as it went down on the horizon
MAR 9, WEDNESDAY; Haircut, final day
for painting
I was
up at 8 am, breakfast then out for my bike ride. The painters arrived as I was leaving and he
tells me it will be completed today. Val
went for Yoga with the ladies across from us; she enjoyed it and will go back
again. Once I got back, I showered then
went for a haircut ($10.Cdn with tip).
The warmth came back too, 24*C at 12:30 pm. The painters were all done by 1pm and after
inspecting the work, I paid him out the balance owing. It looks great!
Val
wanted to go to SOGGY PESOS on the far side of town so we went. It was somewhat windy there but where we sat,
it was ok! We met Al and Brenda there
along with the crew camped across from us so we sat with them and had a nice
visit. We came back at 3:30 pm.
For
dinner, we went to the Yatch Club at 5:30 pm where they have a special every
Wednesday for 150 pesos which includes a hamburger, a beer, free popcorn and a
movie. “Spotlight” was on tonight. A movie about the sex abuse scandal in the
Catholic Church and how it was uncovered in Boston. When we arrived, we met a few people we knew
including John and Karen so we sat with them for dinner. The movie was interesting and we liked
it. We were home by 9 pm. We had quite a wind storm until about
midnight when it finally abated
MAR 10, THURSDAY; Surprised visit
The
park is getting emptier and emptier. We
had two rigs from our row leaving this morning.
One jerk had his diesel Dodge running the whole time he was hooking up
and saying his goodbyes at 6 am this morning.
I could have killed him!!! Sunny
and warm with little wind. Val went to
play piccoball with Elise and I went for my bike ride.
I was
having a snooze outside when these guys came over and woke me up; here was
Dennis, a good friend that we hadn’t seen in over 5 years. What a surprise!!! So I went for HH at Al & Brenda with
Joyce, Bill, Leo & Lynn and Marilyn, Dennis’s wife, came over so big hugs
were in order. Of course, HH was spent
catching up and the nice thing, everyone knew Dennis and his wife. They spent the winter in Mazatlán and are now
on their way north, back to Canada.
MAR 11, FRIDAY;
Hot
and quiet day! Very little wind. Cycling and yoga for us this morning. We had HH at our place tonight to accommodate
neighbours of ours who wanted info on a trip north and things to see. Our neighbours across the way and beside us
joined us until dinner time.
MAR 12, SATURDAY;
Went
cycling this morning and Val decided to oil the wood inside the Beaver. We went to EL Cheque for a hot dog then came
home after I picked up carne asada at TONY’s and ordered 5 packages of Chili
Renello. We also bought shrimps from a
road side vendor and it turned out to be a mistake, they were much smaller than
it looked and we didn’t get a full kilo…lesson learned!
I
copied all the necessary papers for our auto insurance refund and as I was
doing this, I discovered that our Mexican Insurance for the Jeep expires Apr 2
so that means we have to leave earlier so I bought two days for the Motorhome
for noon 2nd to noon the 4th so now our departure date is the second
instead of the third which is fine by me, I am due for a change.
We
went out to BOYES, a hamburger joint in town that we heard a lot of good
reviews. We each had the special (which
I didn’t particularly liked) and when we asked for beer, we found out he wasn’t
licensed but he ran across the road and got us two beers; amazing!!!
MAR 13, SUNDAY; Rest Day
No
biking, no Yoga this morning. We went to
visit the Holder’s at their condos and the girls decided to walk the beach to
the end. After a cold beer, Steve and I
drove to the Pillar condos, parked and walked the beach to meet the girls then
walked back. A few people on the beach
but not many in the water. We saw Lorna (our
neighbour) as we walked out and said hi!
We all drove back to the condo and visited for a while then we came home
and joined the gang for HH. Chicken for
dinner then watched more of our recording; we’re watching “BANSHEE” right now,
interesting gangster series.
MAR 14, MONDAY;
Biking
and Yoga this morning! Our neighbours
across the way, Darryl and Lorna, left this morning for Arizona then home to
BC. We are now down to 4 on our
row. More people are coming up from the
South and more people are leaving every day!
The exodus has begun.
We had
a quiet HH by ourselves
MAR 15, TUESDAY
Val came biking with me this morning. We went to the first “turn-about” then came
back. We stopped for breakfast at Mr IGUANA
then came home. Val did laundry and we
hung outside to dry which it was within 2 hrs.
HH was at Al and Brenda
