It will be there tomorrow.....

 6:26 am - Thursday - April 20th - LPG&RVR - 25° F, humidity 78%, wind 1 mph out of the southeast......partly cloudy today with a forecast high of 55° F....warming back up!  On this date in 2013 TLE and I were at Hyattsville, MD having dinner at Franklins Restaurant, Brewery and General Store......↴


It was so cold Wednesday....how cold was it you say?  Well, cold enough that my hands kept getting numb, even whilst wearing gloves.  It wasn't windy, just this penetrating, cold, damp air surrounding LPG&RVR.  I delivered TLE to the Clubhouse office at 8 am, then sat drinking coffee with Dennis, John, Jose, and DeWayne.  That's what the outside guys do until it is either warm enough go back outside, or  the decision is made to call it a day.  The day was called around 9 am as it was snowing again....not hard, or for long, but just as a reminder that Winter still has her long, bony fingers clutching at the land.  She's not willing to let go just yet.  At any rate, we all just went home....no work to be done today.  As Dennis says, "the work will still be there tomorrow", and, indeed it will.

For a change TLE got in a full 8 hours of work, and I just a couple.  There were things I wished to accomplish outside, but there is really no point in confronting Mother Nature head on....she always wins in the end.  Fortunately, the temps will jump back into the mid 50's Thursday, and by Saturday, and Sunday we'll be back into the high 60's....much more civilized weather, and much more conducive to outdoor work.

I ventured out to the Clubhouse office around 12 pm give TLE her lunch break, and was back home by 1 pm.  I spent time catching up on some of my YouTube subscriptions, and took at least one nap, maybe two, before 5 pm rolled around, and it was time to head out into the cold once again to retrieve TLE from the Clubhouse office.

TLE prepared Spinach Scrambled eggs for dinner, and then we watched the final two episodes of The Mandalorian, Season 3.....we had watched the first 6 episodes Tuesday evening, and might have finished Season 3 in one sitting, but TLE couldn't keep her eyes open, so we went to bed early.

Life in Likely, CA is cold, but good!  Thanks for stopping by!
