6:13 am - Friday - April 26th - LPG&RVR - 38° F, humidity 97% (raining), wind 3 mph out of the northwest.....raining with a forecast high of 49° F. On this date in 2021 I was spreading gravel with a small Kubota loader/backhoe at Sear Rocks RV Cove to level this site....

Guessing the weather.....
6:10 am - Thursday - April 25th - LPG&RVR - 41° F, humidity 80%, wind 2 mph out of the north by northeast.....heavy cloud cover today with rain forecast later this afternoon, and a high of 55° F. On this date in 2019 TLE and I arrived at Romona Oaks RV Resort where we would spend the next 9 months working.....
....we managed to up our 'game' by averaging 3.3 mph this time. To be sure, it was a cold blustery day with the portent of more rain in our future, but by the time we returned to the Newell we were both up to 'operating temperature'....lol!

Over 14 years now.....
7:25 am - Wednesday - April 24th - LPG&RVR - 44° F, humidity 82%, wind 1 mph out of the northwest....heavy cloud cover today with a forecast high of 62° F, and rain again later this afternoon. On this date in 2022 I played my first 9 holes of golf at LPG&RVR.....
.....we continue to average around 3.2 mph. Surprisingly, there is about 80 feet of elevation gain from the entrance to the park to the Newell....I would not have thought that....
.....not to mention how delicious it was....the salmon just melted in our mouths. And with that another LPG&RVR day came to a delightful end.

Finishing touches....
8:12 am - Tuesday - April 23rd - LPG&RVR - 47° F, humidity 46%, wind 1 mph out of the south.....partially cloudy today with a forecast high of 69° F. On this date in 2017 TLE and I had just arrived at Tahoe Valley Campground for our fourth summer....a lot of snow still on the ground.....
....and and then headed into Alturas to shop for the first time in a week. We made stops at all of our favorite haunts, Ace Hardware being the first. We bought a 2' x 4' piece of plywood for the table upon which the Sea-B-Que sits, to protect the table from the heat of the said BBQ....

Back to the 'lido deck'.....
6:53 am - Monday - April 22nd - LPG&RVR - 34° F, humidity 81%, wind 1 mph out of the east by southeast....partly cloudy today with a forecast high of 73° F. On this date in 2020 I was helping Glenn and Laureen (brother and sister-in-law) install their new solar panels on the roof of their 1984 Newell Classic.....
.....we set up the outdoor TV on the Rubber Maid storage unit, which is now over by the electrical pedestal, and it worked great. The sun screens we deployed reduced the glare from the sun completely! I ended up taking an hour nap in the anti gravity chair during the rain delay at the golf tournament....perfect!

7:26 am - Sunday - April 21st - LPG&RVR - 39° F, humidity 69%, wind zero mph out of the north.....crystal clear, blue, sunny skies today with a forecast high of 70° F. On this date in 2014 TLE and I were near Moab, UT visiting Arches National Park with David and Denise Zonker.....one of our favorite memories.....
....we've now four days off work before we return next Thursday. We'll spend more time finishing the 'dining/gaming deck', and setting up the 'viewing deck', and restart our walking routine. My back injury I suffered a few weeks ago has pretty much healed. I have a little residual stiffness, but the pain is pretty much gone now...thank God. When you get old it really takes a lot longer to heal, and I'm still trying to get used to that. Of course, the big take away from it all is DON'T DO STUPID STUFF AND HURT YOURSELF in the first place, right? TLE reminds me several times a day to take my time, and think about each action, and its possible consequences before proceeding. My brain thinks I'm still 19, and keeps telling me I can do things I used to do 20 years ago, and I just can't anymore. Memo to brain....I'm almost 75, not 25....stop it....lol!
Thanks for stopping by!
