Same old, same old.....

 5:52 am - Sunday - May 3rd - LPG&RVR - 55° F, humidity 37%, cloud cover 93%, wind 9 mph out of the northwest.....very cloudy today with a forecast high of 70° F.  On this date in 2017 TLE and I were in Lake Tahoe for our 4th summer working at Tahoe Valley Campground.  The snows from the just ended winter were epic, and the result was the flooding of the Truckee River in Tahoe City....

.....the river was so high the bicycle path was covered, and would remain so for another month.

Since one of our customers had scheduled an 8 am tee time TLE and I were at the Clubhouse by 7:30 am.  I initially staged 10 golf carts, and we ended up renting 11....not bad for our second day.  The weather was delightful with temps in the low 70's and very little wind.  After staging the golf carts I picked up the two barrels of hoses and distributed them around the park, then began watering the grass around the 'Night Office', and the parking lot grass for the first time in 6 months.

Around 10:45  am I fired up the 2 bag Husqvarna and headed out to the golf course mow the tee boxes at 3, 10, 15, 16, 17 and 18.....

.....after finishing the tee box at 15 I snapped a couple of pictures....the golf course in in wonderful shape right now.  I was back to the Clubhouse around 11:55 am, and sent TLE on her lunch break.  The hour passed quickly, and soon I was back on the Husqvarna heading up the hill to the three residential lawns which haven't been mowed in 6 months.  Over the course of the afternoon I continued to move the sprinklers I had running, and washed 5 of the 11 carts we had rented (the Club Car electrics).  Soon it was 3:30 pm, and time to head home to change clothes and return for the weekly putting contest.

I putted well in the first round winning 3 out of the 5 holes, and I putted pretty well in the second round, but after 5 holes we were tied so we went to a one hole 'putt off' where each person takes one putt at a designated hole, and whoever is closest after the one putt advances.  I putted first (about a 35' putt) and left my ball about 2 feet from the hole.  My opponent then putted leaving his ball 18" from the hole...doh!  Ultimately, last year's over all champion, Rich Samco, won.  As always it was a lot of fun.

TLE and I were home around 5:20 pm.  Our second day was very smooth with no glitches, which is always nice.  Saturday night was 'hump night'....just two more days left in our 4 day shift.

Thanks for stopping by!
