Triple digits....

8:58 am - Wednesday - July 13th - Likely, CA - 77° F, humidity 25%, wind - CALM out of the north by northeast......mostly sunny today with a forecast high of 92° F.....an eight degree plunge from yesterday's high of 100° F....yup, our first triple digit day this summer......↴

.....on this date in 2020 TLE and I were dining at Red Water Kitchen in Spearfish, SD with good friends Claude and Gail......↴

The forecast high Tuesday was 98° F, so I went to work at 6:30 am so I could be off at 3 pm.  I had all the left over carts from Monday washed, and staged with the other carts by 7:15 am, so I headed out to take my usual morning run around the park.  I had my leather gloves sitting on the seat next to me, but noticed that one was missing.  I turned the cart around immediately, and found the missing glove almost immediately....what are the odds of it landing just like that?......

....I found a driving range ball in one of the bushes.....man, that would be a tough 'lie'......

......the rest of my day consisted of some weed whipping down in the 'meadow', or back in sites.  There are 10 sites there, and it was time they were trimmed, and mowed.  I finished the 10th and final site with the John Deere riding lawn mower around 12:20 pm.....TLE, by prior arrangement, agreed to take her lunch from 12:30 to 1:30 pm, after which I took my 30 minute lunch, and was back at the 'Cart Return' area by 2 pm.....just enough time to wash the 6 golf carts we rented on Tuesday......yes, only 6 were rented....it was just too hot for most people.  I had those 6 carts washed, and put away by 2:50 pm, and headed out to turn off the tree irrigation lines I had opened that morning.

On my way to do that I saw Richard and Kathy driving toward me in their Jeep Wagoneer.  They had a package for me they had picked up at the Likely P.O.......I ordered 5 cotton blend t-shirts with the Likely Place logo to wear on hot afternoons like Tuesday.  The logo, collared, golf shirts we wear do not breath very well, and feel way too hot.  I got permission to wear these on hot afternoons......

.....yup, I am very happy, and they are so much cooler!

It was still too hot to sit outside at 5 pm, but we did venture outside around 7:30 pm to do just that....amazingly it was already down into the high 70's by that that time, and quite comfortable.....we sat on the 'lido deck' until almost 10 pm before heading inside for the night.....

.....have I said we LOVE it here?  Even on our first triple digit day it was cool enough by 7:30 pm to sit outside.....the heat leaves the air so quickly here!

Thanks for stopping by!
