A cold, blustery day.....

 5:51 am - Monday - June 29th - LPG&RVR - 39° F (!!!), humidity 43%, cloud cover 64%, wind 8 mph out of the north by northwest.....cloudy this morning with a forecast high of 72° F.  On this date in 2013 TLE and I made a quick stop at Devil's Tower on our way north to Alberta, Canada....

.....this was our first time visiting there....we were there again in 2020 for a couple of days.

Sunday began cold and cloudy and pretty much stayed that way all day long.  I wore my hoody sweatshirt all day long, and as has been the case the first two days of this four day work week, I wore long pants, and a long sleeve shirt.  I was greeted by 16 unwashed golf carts at 7:30 am.  Thankfully, no one was scheduled to tee off until 10 am, so I took my time washing and detailing them, then put them away.  By 9:00 am I was staging carts for the day, and by 9:30 am people were showing up for their 10 am tee times.  I enjoyed being able to take my time cleaning the carts, and even had time to refuel some of them, and used compressed air to blow the dust out of the engine compartments.

Once I was sure TLE had enough carts for the next hour I spent time rolling up the numerous hoses we use to water the dry areas of the parking lot grass, and then the 4 very long hoses we use to water the entire 'Night Office' grass area.  There are two hose bibbs down there to water about an acre of grass, so two of the hoses are close to 200' long, and take quite a while to coil.

By the time I returned to the Clubhouse TLE needed more carts so I staged 10 more carts.  By the end of the day we had rented 25 carts, and by 3:30 pm only 7 of them had returned, so I will have a boatload of carts to wash Monday morning.....it is what it is.

I was home relaxing prior to returning to the Clubhouse to give TLE a ride home when I got a call around 4:40 pm from her advising one of the Yamaha gassers had quit running out at the 10th hole.  The 10th hole is about 700 yards from the Clubhouse, so I called Claude, who was also off work, and asked him to meet me out there so we could tow the disabled cart back to the Cart Return area.  In all it took us about 30 minutes to get the cart towed back to the Clubhouse where I hooked up a charger to the battery for just 5 minutes.  Sometimes the something weird happens in the electrical system, and they act as if the battery is dead, when it is not.  A little extra 'juice' for a few minutes is enough to get them started again, and reset the sytem, and that was the case this time.  This happens once, or twice a month with different Yamahas.  Not quite sure what the issue is, but it is rare, and fixable.

By the time I put away the charger, and extension cord TLE was ready to head for home, and thus ended another LPG&RVR day.  Just one day left in our four day work week, and then the four day weekend begins!

Thanks for stopping by!
