Site bound.....

 7:46 am - Saturday - May 20th - LPG&RVR - 57° F, 52% humidity, wind 0 mph out of the west by northwest......crystal clear, blue, sunny skies today with a forecast high of 86° F.  On this date in 2012 TLE and I were camping at 'Craters of the Moon National Monument' in southern Idaho....one of my favorite Newell/trailer pictures......↴


After our whirlwind trip to Klamath Falls Thursday I was determined to spend some time watching the PGA Championship on ESPN, so for the first time this season I set up the outdoor TV for just such a purpose....


.....I began live coverage ensconced in my anti gravity chair....at some point I lost consciousness, and woke up just after 12 pm.  A nice way to spend a Friday morning.

I did spend a little productive time applying a systemic weed killer to the sprouting dandelions in the grass area next to our site.  It is an annual battle, which I won last year, but they are back, so I am trying to get an earlier start this year.

TLE likes to use the larger washing machines/dryers the park provides down in the restroom area to wash the bed sheets, so she actually left our site several times Friday, but I did not leave the site for the first time until late afternoon around 4:45 pm after the conclusion of televised coverage of the PGA.  In needed to practice putting for the upcoming putting contest on Saturday.  I've gotten to where I can putt the ball and it runs along the line I have chosen each time.  I still need to work a lot on putting each ball the same distance.  I can putt 6 balls in succession, thinking I am using the same exact stroke, but each ball goes a different distance.  I need to putt 6 balls and have them stop within a few inches, not feet, of each other....preferably near the hole....lol.  Over the hour I putted I was able to get 4, or 5 balls within 6-8 inches of each other several times.  The key to doing well in the putting contest is to put your first putt near enough to the hole that the second putt is easy.  If you make all your second putts the odds are you will win each match.  Of course, no one turns down a hole in one, of which I had several on Friday.

After returning from my putting foray I joined TLE on the 'lido deck' for a drink....the view to the west was pretty sweet.....



.....it was a pretty nice, laid back, pretty much do nothing day spent mostly within the friendly confines of our Newell encampment.....just the kind of day I wanted, and needed.

Thanks for stopping by!
