I did not see that coming.....

 5:53 am - Wednesday - July 15th - LPG&RVR - 54° F, humidity 36%, cloud cover 24%, wind 10 mph out of the south.....partly cloudy today with a forecast high of 90° F.  On this date in 2019 TLE and I were in Carlsbad, CA....

.....we were working at Ramona Oaks RV Resort that summer, and took a day trip to Carlsbad...one of our favorite Coastal California towns.

I initially staged 10 golf carts to begin Tuesday....4 Club Car electrics and 6 EZ-GO's....why only 4 of the 5 Club Car Electrics?  Well, #5 would not move.  It would try to move, but then stop....HMMM?  After staging the 10 carts I opened up the seat of the Club Car electric to see if anything obvious was wrong.  I had just topped off the distilled water in its six 6 volt batteries the day prior, and it had been charging all night, so it should move.  The tops of the 6 batteries were quite dirty, so I decided to clean all the terminals with a solution of water and baking soda.  In doing so I discovered a connector on one of the wires connecting two of the batteries looking a little sketchy, and when I attempted to wiggle it to see if is was solid, it broke off in my hand.  Okay, that must be the problem, right.....

.....I then removed all of the defective connector from the wire.  I then retrieved a new copper connector from the 'Caddy Shack', trimmed back the end of the wire, then crimped on the new connector....

....once it was reinstalled I attempted to move the cart, and it moved!  I love it when the problem is so obvious, and can be fixed quickly.

Around 10:45 am I hopped on the 2 bag Husqvarna and headed out to mow around those tee boxes for which I am responsible, returning back to the Clubhouse around 11:50 am to put away the Husqvarna, and give TLE her lunch break.  I rented one cart to a couple for 18 holes, and answered a few phone calls while watching the semi final FIFA World Cup match between France and Spain.  France was the heavy favorite to win and advance to the final on Sunday, but that is why they play the games.  Spain dominated the game defensively, while scoring 2 goals to win 2-0 in regulation....I did not see that coming.

After lunch many of the 15 carts we rented began to return, and then I heard thunder in the distance, and then a few minutes later it began to rain quite hard....

.....the torrential rain hitting the metal roof of the cart shack was deafening.  Another thing I did not see happening Tuesday.  The rain stopped in time for me to wash all 14 carts, dry them, and put them away before 3:30 pm.

Thanks for stopping by!
