Big Cold Snap Hits Corning...............

and we've been freezing our butts off! Didn't get out of the 50s today and it's breezy making everything seem like it's below zero!! Well, maybe I exaggerate somewhat.

The Junior Rodeo was held this weekend and since it's held a few blocks away we could hear the loudspeaker blasting away on Friday and Saturday. Must be over with 'cause I haven't hear a thing today. Kinda considered going over; but, weather cooled down and I'm not that much into the "cowboy" scene. Maybe next year.

Friday I saw a Suzuki Vitara offered for sale in Paradise, about 40 miles down the road, the price was right...........actually very good. So away we went to have a look at it........ran out pretty nice and it had A/C; but, the check engine light was on and it wouldn't pass SMOG. Finally decided that it wasn't for us. Anyway, we checked out Paradise, got lost once, stopped at Costco in Chico so the whole day wasn't a total loss. Still looking for something with air conditoning so guess I will continue to look.

Made a few runs to the casino, lost some, won some so came out about "even" in our gambling. The casino is giving a $10.00 promotion on your player's card if you bring in a gas receipt for more than $10.00. Been filling up the Jeep and Honda a little at a time so Becky has about 4 entries in the daily drawing. They give away $100.00 a day in addition to putting the ten bucks on your card. What a gimmick to get you to stop by..............which is no biggie for us as we seem to make a daily run out there anyway. Being 10 minutes away doesn't help. So far no luck on the daily drawing.

Got pre-op appointment at the hospital tomorrow afternoon and still scheduled to go in for surgery on Wednesday. Other than that, nothing much happening here. Later. W&B
