Philosophically speaking.....

6:16 am - Saturday - July 9th - Likely, CA - 50° F, 48% humidity, wind 1 mph out of the east by northeast......mostly clear blue skies today with a forecast high of 84° F.  

We've reached the midway point in our 6 month stay here at LPG&RVR, and as is often the case, the days seem to all meld together, and it begins to be difficult to make them interesting, so I'll get philosophical today.

Although there is a sameness about each 8 day rotation, it still feels fresh to us 90 days into our stay here.  We love how the heat leaves the air each day around 5 pm, and cools down nicely.  We rarely run the A/C, and then only for a few hours, or less.  We love the freshness of the air, the lack of air and noise pollution, the scenery, the remoteness, the people.  I love that I can go out and hit balls on the driving range, putt, or play golf anytime I wish on my days off, and am beginning to enjoy playing the game again.

Each day a I ride around the property in Club Car #20 I stop and just take in the view before me.  Most evenings now we sit outside on the 'lido deck' enjoying the evening air, and chatting with fellow employees, and/or customers as they walk by our site.  We are so far removed from the reality of life in 2022.  We're not driving the Newell everyday, so we are not suffering from the high cost of diesel ($7.59/gallon locally), and only fill up the VW every 3 weeks, or so, and it only takes 9-10 gallons to fill the tank, so that's not too painful.  We do feel the inflation when we go grocery shopping, or when I buy a piece of wood like I did Thursday, which I used to pay about $5 for, but now costs $11.99 per board (1" x 2" furring strip).  Otherwise life sems quite normal here in Modoc County.

After 3 months I can see why customers and employees come back year after year......life here is intoxicating, and magical. And with that I must get dressed and head to work at 7 am....by the way....I love getting off work at 3:30 pm!

Thanks for stopping by!
