That was a busy one....

 6:32 am - Friday - April 21st - LPG&RVR - 44° F, humidity 70%, wind 3 mph out of the west.....heavy cloud cover today with a forecast high of 57° F.  On this date in 2012 TLE and I were at Noccalula Falls, near Gadsden, AL.....↴

As we approached our golf cart Thursday morning we saw frost covering everything, including the golfcart seats.  Fortunately, we cover the seat with a vinyl cover every night after work so we don't have to deal with wiping frost, snow, dew, or rain off the seat before we head to work.  Unlike Wednesday, though, the forecast high was to be in the mid 50's so it appeared work would be done this day.

All of the work left over from Wednesday would be done, for sure, on Thursday.  There were no names on the tee time sheet, so I decided not to stage any golf carts until the putting green in front of the Clubhouse was clear of frost, and that would not be for at least an hour, or around 9 am.  My first task of the day was to head out to tee #3 to throw 8 packets of blue dye into the ponds flanking the tee boxes.  Turning the water blue impedes the growth of plant life in the ponds for a few months.  Once that task was completed, I cleared more duck/goose poo from the four tee boxes....it wasn't as bad as Saturday, but it was still bad.

I had only been able to rake one of the four course sand traps (#18) on Saturday, so I headed next to the 12th green to rake that one, then to #4, and #15. I always take time at #15 to take in the amazing 360° view from this high point on the course.....

....by the time I returned to the Clubhouse TLE needed a couple of golf carts staged for later in the morning so I did so, then went about pulling all of the Club Car Electrics, and all of the Yamaha gassers out so I could rearrange them in numerical order.  TLE likes them staged in ascending numerical order (1,2,3,4, etc.) so I oblige her.

One of the tasks I was assigned to do on Wednesday, which got postponed, was to repair a broker sprinkler head at site #33 (a water and electric only site).  You never really know what is needed to fix the sprinkler until you dig it up.  Once I had removed the turf from around the broken sprinkler it became obvious it was a rather simple fix, and within a few minutes I had completed the repair.  It was almost 12 pm when I finished, so I headed directly to the Clubhouse office to give TLE her hour lunch break.  It was a rather uneventful hour with only one RV arrival.

After taking my 30 minute lunch....I prefer a 30 minute break as I can be off  by 4 pm (we start work at 7:30 am).....I headed over to the 'Caddy Shack' to pickup the Husqvarna riding lawnmower to mow as much grass as possible before 4 pm.  I managed to mow the grass around both pavilions, the grass which separates the two parking lots, another large patch of grass over near employee row, then all but one of the pull through sites before it was time to put everything away.  That was a busy day!

One of the two Club Car electrics had been returned, and the Husqvarna needed washing, so I cleaned them (refueled the Husqvarna), and put them away.  I was home in a couple of minutes, and by 4:15 pm had taken a shower, and was relaxing in my recliner while I waited for the fresh water tank to be refilled.  We've been operating off the fresh water tank since we arrived as our heated hose is not long enough to reach the hose bibb.  The tank was down to 40 gallons from the 150 I put in Sunday.  Fortunately, we have much better water pressure here than at GNHS, and it only takes 20 minutes to add 11o gallons of water to top off the tank.  As soon as we are through the sub freezing portion of April I'll connect the regular water hose, and things will be back to normal.  I think this is the most we have run our fresh water pump in years.

I picked up TLE at 5 pm, and gave her a ride home, but not before putting away the second Club Car electric which had been returned between 4, and 5.  The electrics need to be plugged in at the end of each day of use.  Oh, by the way, our new Trailer Valet XL arrived via FedEx (right on schedule), so I'll be using it to move the trailer to its final position on Sunday, probably, when we begin our 4 day 'weekend'.  It is much more substantial than the original one I bought back in 2015.  Since it will not be permanently mounted like the original, it should last longer not being exposed to the elements 24/7.  I'll have TLE take video of the new one when we use it for the first time on Sunday.

Thanks for stropping by!
