Lobster!

Yeserday was a relaxed day for us. I did some computer work (for myself), took Snuggy for a bike ride around the park while Rich was doing a boy-ride on his road bike. Just as I was getting ready to set out by myself, Rich had come home, had lunch and was ready to join me. We rode to the RV parts store, 3 miles up the road. And when I say, "up the road", that was literally....3 miles of uphill. We broke it up by popping into 2 RV parks along the way to check them out. By the time we got to the top, I was bushed. It was a nice ride back though. I maintained 22-25mph. without even pedaling until we got to the road to our park.

Last night we had a very early dinner. Rick & Sue took us to the Spa casino in Palm Springs for their weekly lobster buffet. For $19.95 you get all the lobster (and other stuff, but why eat anything else when you have lobster?) you can eat. In order to get to the buffet in a timely manner, another couple from the park, Vern & Caroline got to the casino at 3:15 and took turns waiting in line (the buffet opens at 4pm) and gambling. Apparently Rick & Sue got to the buffet at "normal" dinner time last week and found a 1.5 hr. wait! Since we got there a little after 4, Vern had already secured us a table and had bought our buffet tickets, so we just waltzed in and started eating. The lobsters were the spiney ones, so a bit smaller but the were split down the middle, lengthwise, so you just dug out the tail.

After dinner the 4 of us did a little gambling. Rich and I each played $2 and lost. At one point Rich was up $38, but lost it all on one machine. Susan was the big winner of the night, winning $151 on the penny slots, starting with $20. She said they have not left a casino in the Coachella valley with a loss all season.

Once we got back to the park, Rich, Rick, and I went to the hot mineral tub hot tub for a relaxing end to a wonderful day.
