Saturday, October 28, 2006 thank goodness the winds weren't as bad last night like the night before. We leave here tomorrow and head for Lake Havasu where we are suppose to spend the winter, but who knows, we haven't stuck with any of our plans so far. Here is a recap of the last few days. Boring, I'm warning you now.

Tuesday, October 24th, we had rain in the morning so while Dave had phone calls I watched TV and read my book. The rain quit about 10:30 a.m. so I took Valley for a walk around the park. When I got back I dropped Valley off and I walked to the mall that is near by. I checked out the mall for about an hour then walked back to the coach. Dave finished work about 1 p.m. then decided to defrost the freezer; it has really been building up lately. He took the stuff out of the freezer and got a towel and my hair dryer and proceeded to defrost the freezer. It worked pretty good and fast, now no more ice/frost build-up in the freezer. Tuesday night we went out to dinner to the Prime Rib Room at the Riverside Casino. What they have is a salad and potato bar then they come around and slice the prime rib or chicken cordon bleu right at your table. Not bad and the price was alright too. After dinner we went gambling again, we played some slots, then I decided to go back, while I still had some money, Dave went to the tables to play some Black Jack. I walked back to the coach got Valley and started walking her around and next thing I know I see the shuttle bus in front of our coach dropping Dave off. He said the dealer took his $40.00 in a wink of an eye. That was our Tuesday.

Wednesday, October 25th, Dave took off for a bike ride at 6:30 a.m. and I left a few min. later to walk Valley. Valley and I walked the whole block that the campsite, employee parking and mall are on. We were gone about an hour and when we got back Dave was showering. We drove the route that Dave had taken the bike on and he rode about 8 miles or a little more. In the early afternoon I laid out in the sun and read my book, napped too, then about 2 it started raining again, what is up with this weather. The rain lasted about an hour then the winds hit again, damn it’s windy here. After dinner we walked over to the casino again, gluttons for punishment, and played slots again. Then we went to the Losers Lounge for a while to listen to the group playing there, pretty good band with a good mix of music. Then we walked back to the coach.

Thursday, October 26th, the sky is perfectly clear and the wind is blowing but not as hard as it has been blowing. Dave had work to do early so he couldn’t go riding his bike, I took off and took Valley on her hour walk. In the afternoon Dave and I decided to go walking the river walk again and visit all the casinos and see what kind of games they had. Some of the other casinos have $1, $2, and $3.00 Black Jack tables so Dave decided that he wants to start going to those casinos if he is going to go gambling because the Riverside Casino has been taking all of his money. Thursday the wind really started picking up again and it sure makes it hard to sleep.

Friday, October 27th, the wind was blowing so hard I kept thinking it was going to push us right off the hill we are on. In the morning we drove to Wal-Mart and had a pedicure. When we got back Dave started polishing the rig and I did laundry and cleaned the inside. In the afternoon when Dave turned the TV on we had sound but no picture. Dave called the manufacturer they said it was out of warranty so then he called Holiday Rambler and they said take the TV out and take it to a store and have it checked out. So come next Monday we need to find out where to take it to, luckily we have my old computer screen which is a TV too so that’s what we have mounted now and the screen is a lot smaller, looks a little funny but it works. Friday night we went to Colorado Bell Casino and had the Seafood Buffet then did our gambling there. Dave played black jack on a $1.00 table then went to craps, when we left a few hours later he had the money he had come in with, so he was a happy camper. I just played slot machines and left my money behind but I did have a good time doing it.
