QZ - Feb 10th & 11th

Feb 10, Saturday
Breakfast again at the club house and then we left for Phoenix with Clem & Marlene. We had called Camping World to make sure they had the GPS unit that was on sale and had them set one aside for us so we wouldn’t be making the trip for nothing. No problems - picked up the GPS unit and, amazingly, nothing else. We stopped at a casino for lunch and played slots for a bit for a small amount of damage to everyone’s wallet.
We played pinochle in the evening and Terry won. There was karaoke going on at the club house so we sat outside and listened a bit after pinochle finished - until the singing got too bad!

Feb 11, Sunday
It was totally cloudy when we got up so we were lazy in the morning. Had bacon & tomato sandwiches for “brunch” and went out to get water and a few groceries. The water here is kind of flat tasting and supposedly “salty” so we buy water for drinking and making ice. It costs 25 cents per gallon to refill containers so we just have 3 plastic jugs that we fill since the store is nearby.
We went for a drive to a little town named Bouse - not too much there. We carried on to Parker and filled up with fuel - $2.39 per gallon for diesel, it went up from $2.29 last time. After we got back we were sitting outside having a beer and looking at brochures that we picked up in Bouse when Clem & Marlene came by. They were going out for dinner to celebrate their 46th wedding anniversary and asked us to join them. So we went to Black Rock Café at Brenda for dinner. Then Clem & Marlene taught us to play a new dice game. I really enjoyed it since I won both games! Just kidding - it was a fun game. It was really windy so we left them fairly early to rescue the lawn chairs that we had left sitting out.
Another good day with nice friends!
