Home Brew

Not much going on in the park.  Yesterday was the "ladies lunch" at Halpaska's Bakery and Restaurant.  The soup and salad I are were wonderful.  Somehow I found the will power to avoid the bakery part of the place.  The cheesecake and cherry pie were screaming "eat me" but I just kept walking. 

We had been desparately trying to lose weight this winter, and had each managed to lose 7 lbs.  Unfortunately the cruise came and went; the 2 extra pounds have not.  Thus, I skipped the dessert at lunch.

Speaking of losing weight, we're still walking, biking, swimming, and now water aerobicsing in an effort to lose.  There are no snack foods, ice cream, etc. in the trailer.  Mark must now snack on Rice Krispies.  Ugh! 

After two golf outings in a row, Mark hung around the park today, at least until lunch time.  All of our friends in the park have recently purchased new trucks to pull their trailers.  This got us wondering about our next truck in a year or two.  Do we really need a one ton when the three-quarters works just fine?  Today we went in search of this info by visiting the local Ford, Chevy, and GMC lots.

For a mere $53,000, this bad boy could be ours.  None of the lots had what we plan to purchase in a year or two:  four door, diesel, 8' bed, 2 wheel drive, 3/4 ton, and no dualies!  The GMC salesman was extremely pushy- wanting Mark to test drive one of the two trucks he had; we finally just left.  We did, however, get brochures from every dealier because Mark wanted to research the towing capacity on all of them.  Now if we could just win the MegaMillions!

Tonight we sat up at the fake fire (propane) with the park's owner, Erik.  Mark and Erik were trying Erik's new beer he had made.  I took a sip because they assured me it didn't taste like beer - they were wrong!   I think this beer was 6.5% alcohol.  They each had 3 large glasses, and Mark is now in bed.
