The Pavilions.....

 6:27 am - Wednesday - June 1st - Likely, CA - 40° F, humidity 57%, wind 3 mph out of the southeast....partly cloudy skies today with a forecast high of 78° F.  On this date in 2020 we arrived at our boondock site on the Teton River replete with a view of the Grand Tetons....will will return there some day......↴


After a very chilly few days Spring agreed to a return engagement, and the temps got up to 68° F....a decided improvement.  On top of that we had an almost windless day, which we seem to be getting more of as time passes.

Somehow over the four days I was off work the carts in the shack got parked kind of askew, so I pulled out 16 of them, and staged them even though we did not have that many golfers signed up Tuesday.  After a little rearranging of the older Club Car gassers everything fit as it should once again.

I then spent about 40 minutes going through all 30 six volt batteries in the Club Car electrics to check the water levels in each cell, and added distilled water as needed.  We haven't had that much warm weather to date so not much water was added, but I can see as the temps get steadily warmer we'll need to check them more frequently.

Next up I needed to mow the grass at both Pavilions as both became empty Tuesday.  We usually have a short window of opportunity to do the mowing as new groups are usually arriving later in the day.....



....of course, no mowing job is complete until you've run the Husqvarna weed whipper around the edges.  From there I moved over to a large grass area near the pull through sites to mow it.....


....the Husqvarna riding lawnmower does a great job, but I need to empty to grass out of the catchers  quite frequently.  The little trailer into which we dump the grass can only hold two loads of grass, so I made a few trips to the cattle pasture to dump the clippings.  The cows love fresh cut grass, and they always come running when they see us coming with a load of clippings.  I managed to mow one of the pull through sites at the request of the customer in that site......


....we don't normally mow sites when they are occupied, but if the customers are staying a week, or two the grass can get long, so we're happy to oblige them.

I did a lot of mowing Tuesday, including the tee boxes on hole #10.  Right now I mow a number of tee boxes on a weekly basis, but I can see that the grass is growing much faster, and we will probably have to increase the frequency.....


....I don't I stopped moving all day except for giving TLE her lunch break, and then mine, otherwise I was doing something all day long, including washing, and putting away both riding lawnmowers, and washing all of the golf carts which were used.  My last cart came in at 4:55 pm, so I was able to get it washed, and put away before picking up TLE and heading for home.  I was one tired puppy!

Thanks for stopping by!
