When Friday is really Friday....

 7:03 am - Real Saturday - June 11th - Likely, CA - 60° F, humidity 39%, wind 5 mph out of the south by southwest.....mostly sunny today with a forecast high of 80° F.....NO heaters are being run this morning......suweet!  On this date in 2014 TLE and I were hanging out at the beach in South Lake Tahoe......↴



Friday was actually our Friday for a change.....lol!  We're in the middle of a 'warm wave'....I hesitate to use the term 'heatwave' at it hardly seems appropriate when the temps are in the mid 80's.  I began to pull out the carts around 7:55 am, and within 5 minutes the first five electrics were gone.  In all, including the electrics, I pulled out 26 carts, and they all got used at some point during the day.  When TLE and I left at the end of the day I think there were still 4-6 carts out there on the golf course.  I forgot to mention that when I arrived at the Clubhouse at 7:40 am there were 6 carts waiting to be cleaned, and returned to service.

Once the carts were staged.....

Look how straight those lines are!

.....I headed out to do some mowing with the Husqvarna riding lawn mower, including the big pavilion, and 4 pull through sites, which pretty much took the rest of the morning.  In the afternoon I took the small, slow John Deere riding lawn mower down to the tent sites to mow, and by the time I returned there were 10 golf carts waiting to receive their daily spa treatment.  Every time I'd get two washed, two more would arrive, and it seemed like I was treading water for about an hour before I finally began to make a dent in the long line of carts.

I was about to tackle the final two carts awaiting their spa treatment when TLE came out to tell me Jose (greens keeper) had run out of gas out on the 15th fairway, and would I take some gas out to him.....well, of course.  By the time I returned it was almost 5 pm, and I still had a lot to do before we closed the doors for the day.  By the time I washed those final two carts, put them away, and locked everything up it was almost 5:30 pm, and was I ever tired!  As TLE and I drove home I thought how nice it was that I now had 4 days off work to relax. 

TLE and I sat out on the 'lido deck' until almost 8 pm, and frankly, could have stayed there as the weather was so nice, but we hadn't eaten yet, and I was hungry, so we called it an evening and headed inside.  It is impossible for me to convey in words how much we like it here at LPG&RVR, especially now that winter has finally released its iron grip, and spring has been allowed to take hold for good.  Looking forward to many more  balmy evenings spent on the 'lido deck'.

Thanks for stopping by!
