Friday morning, Becky played some pickleball, while I finished up setting up our rig and doing some minor chores. I also ordered a new wheel from the Forest River people to replace the one that was destroyed by the blowout caper, and had a brief discussion with the repair people at the factory regarding a new problem we were having---constantly blowing the fuse that controls our slideouts. Apparently, the problem can be solved by putting in a higher-amperage fuse. We'll see.
Friday evening, we met the Wheelers and Van Dusens for dinner at the Souplantation in La Quinta. It was fun and the food was surprisingly good. It was nice to see them all again.
On Saturday, after we made a Costco run, we ended up having dinner at Sam's Sushi. The place was mobbed and we had to wait to get a seat at the sushi bar. But it was worth it.
Sunday, we met Donna, David, Meghan, and Emily (again) for lunch at the Elephant Bar Restaurant in Palm Desert for lunch. (They are staying at David's parents' place in the desert for the weekend.) As usual, I had the Five Spice Shrimp Chicken Stir Fry, which was delicious. Becky rode there on her bike---28 miles roundtrip. We all arrived within two minutes of one another. Pretty amazing.
Monday morning, I played several games of Pickleball. I was not very good, as usual, but the competition was not that great. Even so, whatever team I was on lost every game. That should tell me something. It seems the rest of the day was spent shopping.
Tuesday, New Years Day, was mostly football for me, of course. Also, we watched Trouble With The Curve (a Clint Eastwood movie, not directed by him for a change), from the Redbox, which was very good.
Before the movie, Becky went on another bike ride---this time to Lake Cahuilla, a 20-mile round trip. Otherwise, we prepared to leave Indio and head for Palm Desert the next morning. Dinner was from our favorite---Panda Express. Yum.
