Feb 8th to 10th - San Carlos

Feb 8th - Fri - San Carlos
Rick had another dentist appointment at 1:00 so Rick, Pat, Terry & Craig planned to play golf. Unfortunately, Rick had to wait 1 ½ hours to see the dentist and didn’t get back until 3:10. So Terry & Craig played golf and for the first time continued on and played 18 holes. Terry was pretty tired as they played a fast round and were walking.
I cooked my half of the shrimp that Pat had ordered and she provided the side dishes for another good meal. Pat & Terry then proceeded to be extremely lucky with (wild) card draws and beat Rick & I at Canasta.

Feb 9th - Sat - San Carlos
We went with Rick & Pat to the lot to set up a dinner date with everyone. There were engagement conflicts so we ended up deciding on Valentine’s Day.
All the “lot people” were going to an open house offering a barbeque lunch so we decided to check it out as well. There were actually 5 model homes that were open in a new development. They are built so close together that the view from some windows is only the side of your neighbor’s house. One house had 2 small bedrooms with windows opening to the garage. It is fun to see what is offered for sale here and we had a hamburger for lunch as well!
At 5:00, Pat, Terry & I went to a casino night fund raiser for Rescate which is the ambulance company in a lot of Mexican towns. Rick stayed home as he is not a gambler. It was very well organized. You bought chips and could play 21, roulette, craps and poker. There was a silent auction and a live auction at the end of the evening so you could spend your winnings. Pat & Terry put their winnings together (I did not end up with any winnings!) and we got a glass bottom boat margarita cruise for 4 in the live auction. We also had a roast pig dinner that was very good. We got back at 10:20 and woke up the park slamming the truck doors. We figure it is payback for the people talking outside the window at 6 AM.

Feb 10th - Sun - San Carlos
To use Terry’s words, this was a lazy-ass day! Even though I had some stomach pains this morning, we loaded up to go kayaking with Rick & Pat. But by the time we got to the water, I figured it was not a good idea for me to be in a kayak and maybe having to make a quick exit on a gimpy foot. So Rick & Pat took off and Terry & I went for a little drive and then came back to the park.
My stomach continued to bother me the rest of the day so I spent most of the day in the recliner with my foot up reading a book. Terry has rediscovered Sudoku (number puzzles) so he spent time with that and trying to set up the satellite dish after some neighbors said they could get Dish network. Not so! Then Pat beat Terry at Canasta but Terry is getting very good lessons from their 2-handed games.
Pat & I both had steaks for dinner so got together once again and then watched a couple of movies that a new neighbor lent us. We saw “The Long, Long Trailer” with Lucille Ball (not Terry’s choice but he didn’t fall asleep) and “Wild Hogs”.
