TGI Friday, March 18, 2011

Good morning, everyone,,

well, I survived St Patty's Day, without drinking even one green beer,, though I did stop and drink a few with my corned beef and cabbage yesterday. Which, of course was after my Cardiac Rehab appt, which I did happen to go to Thursday, LOL.. Then, I went home, to relax in the sun on the back deck, since I didnt have a key to the house (Nana had taken it out of my pants pocket to check the mail the night before, and Amanda had gone to pick Marisa up, at BSU, for a dr appt. )
When Nana called, she was with the elderly lady we help out, leaving the dr appt with her.. At which point, she could have been home in 20 minutes or so, if shed just gone ahead and dropped her off.. Instead, Nana came home to open the door for me, then decided I should go ahead and go with her, and then on to Walmart, instead of dropping her off and coming home to get me..

So, we go to Louise's house, get her in, (we are parking the RV at her house, so I went inside to check it out)  and I try to start the RV, and it is deader than I dont know what.. I believe it is the belts, keeping the batteries from recharging, or, like my pickup truck, has a ground somewhere draining the battery.. something is on, that should be off.. or something....Gary, Nana's brother, thought the refrigerator had maybe kicked on or something.. so I thought I had it unplugged,, evidently, the plug I pulled wasnt it.. ugh.. I was kinda hoping, to jump in it this weekend, and just go for a drive..

well, that isnt happening now.. we left walmart, after Nana wanted some pillows and carpet runners, to somehow blend all the ugly colors in together, and the draped to separate the front windshield behind the seats, from the living compartment,, I reckon shes afraid of someone looking in at a nekkid 63 year old woman, (other than myself, of course, lmao)  and a few blinds, without measuring anything, so it was  guesstimate on sizes.. I may go this afternoon, and see if I can get the belts tightened up, and perhaps pick up one of those thingys that you can start a vehicle with.. I think theyre about 40 bucks.. we'll see. lol..

So leaving walmart, we decided to head to Camping World, hoping to look  around and get ideas, along with picking up a few items, which, mainly I wanted the Dutch Oven Table. (Im really wanting to get into this dutch oven cooking,, I have hundreds of recipes to try out, lol),, So, once again, we get there, and the doors shut as we pull into the parking spot,, 2nd time (2nd visit, as well) this has happened to us.. So,, what do I do?? ask Nana (big mistake) casino or Gander Mountain?  and once again, we go to Indiana Live casino, and lose our ass. this is going to take me a couple months to recover from,, between the $800, 3 weeks or so ago, and 400 last night.. and we ate at the buffet they tout so much in their mailings,,,,,, Im telling you, if they made pizza for a living they would go broke,,, if they opened a chinese buffet, they may break even, If they do just fried chicken and those fries they had last night, theyd stay afloat,,, the chicken was about the best thing they had.. even the desserts werent very good.. Worst buffet I have ever been to.. and,, Im done with it, the casino, and anything down highway 74... we will go to the Horseshoe in Southern Indiana, or we wont be going anywhere.. if we had lost 1200 there, we would have had rooms, Paula Deen's buffet, a room, and an excellent time as always.. and earned a lot of rewards points,, and more money each month to come back.. there have been times, we have gotten 300 dollars a piece from them, to come back to play,,, and weve picked up the money stayed the night and came home,, lol... but theyve put a stop to that practice,,, you have to put the money into a machine and play it off,, cant cash out like we did before.. unless its winnings..

Really a beautiful day yesterday.. around 70 (I say cause I dont know what it actually got to) but it was bright and sunny.. just gorgeous.. today, is to be 65 or so.. its cloudy right now.. 20% chance of rain, but 80% it wont rain.. lol.. Its finally starting to warm up, but thursday, back down in the 40's,, at least thats what theyre saying now..

Gonna be tight with money the next few weeks, due to our stupidity (or mine for mentioning the casino).. didnt sleep well last night (we didnt get home til midnight or so, and I didnt go to bed til 230, then Nana was hurting, and awake, and we watch tv til 430 or so, and I turned over to sleep, and she had to get up at 5am,, so she is going to be beat when she gets home tonight..   oh, oh, oh,,,, the sun just broke through the clouds,, woohoo.. I may get moving a little faster than I expected.. lol.. Need to return some things to Lowes, get a couple extra set of RV keys made, so Nana has a set, I have a set, and then a spare set of keys.. and buy either the charger/starter thingy, or a set of jumper cables,, I think the former, and next month, the jumpers,, LOL..

Well, if Im going to get anything done today, I reckon Id better get started.. will be nice to get outside and do something anyways,, and havent worked on a car in a long time. so that should be interesting too.. LOL

Yall have a wonderful weekend,, I should make a post, one day or the other, over the weekend,, unless we up and take off somewhere..

Happy Farming
