Well, here I am again two days behind in posting my latest missives.  So what did we do Monday?  Monday was shopping day, and we left the Newell around 8:30 am to make the 20 minute drive into Alturas.  Our first stop was Rite Aid for adult beverages, and then on to Holiday Market to buy another week's supply of produce, dairy, meat, etc.  We were home a little after 10 am.

I changed clothes and headed over to the driving range to hit a bucket of balls to warm up for a round of golf.  I was back at the coach about 10:50 am to pick up TLE, and head to the first tee for our 11 am tee time.  Monday was actually  a good day for me.  I managed to hit all 18 tee shots well, and was really hitting my fairway woods crisply.  I was within 150 yards of all four par 5 holes after three shots, but my short game failed me somewhat.  I managed to par one of them, bogeyed two, and double bogeyed the other one.  I actually missed a birdie on the 18th by an inch, but did par it.  I also bogeyed three of the four par 3's, just missing two par putts.  

I had originally only planned on playing the front nine, but I was feeling so good after 9 I decided to play the back nine.....TLE opted to have me drop her at home so she could finish another load of wash.   My back was a little 'tired' after 18 holes, but I recovered quickly.  Certainly my best 18 holes in years.

Lying 2 on the 18th hole....just missed the birdie putt

Monday was a mostly chilly day......only 81° F, and we were able to sit outside for a couple of hours in the early evening for a change.  We headed inside around 8:30 pm as it was getting a little chilly.

Can't believe it is already August.....just two months to go before we roll our wheels once again for parts as yet unknown.

Thanks for stopping by!
