Time is slipping away.....

6:55 am - Tuesday - July 18th - LPG&RVR - 90° F, humidity 16%, wind 12 mph out of the west.....partly cloudy today with a just past high of 94° F....one degree less than the forecast high.  On this date in 2018 TLE and I were having lunch at the Asticou Inn in Northwest Harbor, Maine......↴ 



Monday saw another 6:30 am start for me.  After staging just 15 carts I headed out to use the weed whipper on the four sand traps.  I was back around 8:30 am to find just 7 carts gone, but we would end up renting 12 in all.  Monday's, of course, are 'clear the range balls off the driving range' days, but before I did that I needed to get started on mowing the tee boxes I do every week. Over the two summers we have been here that task has increased to include large swaths of grass too narrow for the big Jacobsen mower DeWayne uses to mow the rough.

I was back from mowing around the 10th tee boxes, and the grass behind the 11th hole around 10:30 am, and got out on the driving range immediately to clear the few balls which had been driven there over the past 4 days.  I finished in record time....just 35 minutes beginning to end to collect about 1/3 of a barrel of balls from the range.  I mowed a little more before giving TLE her lunch break at 12 pm, and then at 1 pm was back out for my final 90 minutes washing carts, and putting them away.  The days seem to pass by quickly when I go to work at 6:30 am, and I like that!

By 2:50 pm I had showered, and was in my recliner relaxing, and taking a nap.  I headed back over to the Clubhouse around 5:10 pm to retrieve TLE, and another day was in the books.

Thanks for stopping by!
