Post Mexican Rummy

Here are the game rules, as I understand them, for the card game played at the November rally in Yuma. It was fun and a nice change.

Mexican Rummy

Card Count:
10 – King 10 points
2 – 9 5 points
Jokers & Aces 100 points
Wild Card 100 points

The dealer starts with dealing one card face up to the person to his left, then deals that person, that many cards…….a 3 = 3 cards, a jack (or any face card) = 10 cards, a Joker = 10 cards (a 2 is put back in the deck). The dealer then does the same for the next person until all players have their hand…..all will have a different number of cards. When the dealer deals to himself, his first card is the “wild” card for that round.

Play: Players must draw AND discard for each time played, including if they can play all their cards. They may take the top card on the discard pile OR as many as needed to complete a set or run. If taking more that one card, they must play the bottom card picked up. Play is with “runs” of the same suit, or “sets” of three or more cards. Jokers are wild and whatever other card the dealer receives. The first player to play all his cards wins but must have a discard.
You may play on other players’ runs and sets but place the cards in front of you for counting at the end of the hand
You may only play the number of wild cards as there
are naturals already played.
“Extra” wild cards can be played on other players’
runs or sets if the above rule applies.
When someone “goes out” there are no “last turns”.

Scoring: Count the cards left in your hand and subtract (if necessary) from the cards played, using the point count at the top of the page.

    The Webb Update….

    Hey fellow GMCSJ’ers! Barb and I wanted to say hi to all of you from Europe! We’re having a wonderful time seeing all of the magnificent historical sights :) Have yet to come across a GMC motorhome. Europe’s idea of an RV is a bit different than ours and the largest we’ve seen is about a 25′ class C with nary a slideout to be found :( Must be something to do with all the narrow roads and $9 a gal gasoline!

    See you this fall !!!

    Just some news here. Don’t know how many of you know it but Jim and Adell’s 26 footer is at the GMC CO-OP in Orlando getting a facelift. You can watch the day by day progress here: http://www.gmccoop.com/dailypose.htm

    Got this from Carol & Gordy: Howdy and Happy Thanksgiving!
    We FINALLY got permission to start “thinking” of coming home! Now, we have to see if we can make it happen. It will involve setting up continuing wound care, another month of daily antibiotics and weekly wound vac changes. Things have started improving and the wound is looking good. He can’t put any weight on his ankle but we’ll manage. Our son, Craig will come out and help with the drive so we’re looking at about two weeks away. We never thought we’d be here this long but besides the discovery of valley fever, we’re also dealing with MRSA in the wound. We’ll need a wheelchair (looking for something light weight as I’ll be lifting it in and out of the car) and hoping it will get through the bathroom door! Thanks for all your prayers. Thanks.
    Carol

    Just a suggestion: It wo9uld be nice to have a more complete rally schedule on the website. We will not be able to attend the Jan. Rally this year due to some family issues, but are trying to plan ahead to Feb. My recollection is that there is a Rally at Distant Drums RV Park, but I don’t know the dates. A few of us still work and have to make arrangements to get off work in advance. Maybe include the WS rally in Amado as well.

    Hi Jetsetters,
    Just a quick note for any of you who have Norcold 1200 series refridgerators in your coach. There is a recall currently in effect. Get to a dealer and take advantage of this recall. – Steve

    This year’s Bluegrass Festival had 11 coaches. Two nights of good weather and bon fires and good company. The rain sort of kept us in the main building most of the time but it was sure worth it. I only recognized one group from previous years and the gap between the almost great groups and the best groups was non-existant. Fantastic Bluegrass music. Next year, however, you can be sure that I am going to secure all the “high” ground sites for the Jetsetters just in case it decides to sprinkle again. See you all at Lazy Daze next month.

    For all of you in the GMCSJ that still own a GMC. All of the club owned GMC tools have come home. I have them, and I will post here (from now on) who has them on loan. Check out and return day.
    We own the following for use by our members:
    Engine pulling hoist – you can use this to pull the engine out through the coach, or drop it out the bottom if you have the nose of the coach high enough.
    Thoma bearing tools – Complete with seal installation tool and the jib to drill your knuckle for a grease zerk.
    Ball Joint removal tool
    Torsion Bar Unloader (2) This takes a lot of the effort out of setting the ride height after replacing the ball joints, bushings, or to compensate for age.

    Hey Jetsetters, check this out. A new attempt at the land speed record for Class A motorhomes. The current record is held by a GMC at 102 mph. Click here for more information plus pictures: http://palmerdesignsltd.com/
