6:10 am - Sunday - May 17th - LPG&RVR - 35° F, humidity 41%, cloud cover 60% (looks like 100%), wind 11 mph out of the north by northwest.....heavy cloud cover this morning with a forecast high today of 56° F. On this date in 2020 TLE and I were in Durango, CO with Glenn and Laureen ordering food from the only open restaurant....
.....as you will recall, this was at the beginning of the Wuhan Flu scare, and you could not eat inside restaurants....only take out. We found a table down the street and ate our food....almost normal, right? The view this morning....
.....in two days we have gone from idyllic weather back to winterish conditions.....it will only get to 56° F today, and there is a slight chance of SNOW! Winter will just not let go!
Saturday began cold, and remained cold all day long. I do not think it ever reached the forecast high of 61° F. I had visions of sitting outside watching The PGA, but they were quickly dashed when I stepped outside around 9 am to breezy, chilly winds. We spent the better part of the morning inside the warm confines of the Newell with the front electric heater running continuously.
I drove over to the Clubhouse around 12 pm to practice my putting for the upcoming putting contest at 4 pm, and it paid off to some degree as I made it through four rounds before being ousted. The previous two weekends I only made it to the second round, so this was a big improvement. On top of that I did not beat myself for a change....I lost to a better putter. Instead of my usual Hawaiian shirt and shorts I wore long pants, a long sleeve shirt, and a puffy jacket over that to stay warm. I wore the jacket for most of the putting contest.
TLE and I stayed until the end of the putting contest, which we don't usually do if I have lost, but she needed to be there to pickup the cash drawer as we go back to work for another four day shift beginning Sunday (we work Sunday through Wednesday this week). We were home by 5:20 pm.
Thanks for stopping by!
