Way ahead of last year.....

 7:36 am - Wednesday - May 10th - LPG&RVR - 42° F, 66% humidity, wind 0 mph out of the west......crystal clear, blue, sunny skies today with a forecast high of 62° F.  On this date in 2018 TLE and I were on a train into Boston for a day of sightseeing......↴


For the first time in over a week we awoke Tuesday to clear, blue skies here at LPG&RVR.  The overnight low got down to 27° F, and we knew it would in advance, so I disconnected the Newell from 'city water' for the night.  There was frost on everything, but the day promised to be much better than Monday.  Even though the high was only 59° F, there was no wind, no breeze, so it felt warmer.  I found myself wearing flip flops, and a short sleeve shirt....still too soon for shorts, but getting there.

By 10:30 am I was outdoors sweeping off the artificial turf on the 'lido deck', and under the picnic table.  Oh, by the way, we now have a piece of turf under the umbrella for when we watch the sun set....


.....when I'm in the middle of our 4 day work week things begin to stack up on the work bench, because I don't always have time to put them away, so my first task Tuesday morning was to restore some order to the trailer interior.

We haven't walked in a while due to the cold, rainy, windy, snowy conditions much of the past two weeks, so TLE and I took our 2 mile out and back walk around 2 pm.  We managed to cover the 2.04 miles in 37 minutes, 41 seconds averaging around 3.3 mph......



....upon return I headed over to the Clubhouse to work on chipping, putting and driving.  After such a long layoff I was pleasantly surprised that my chipping was pretty consistent, and my putting was coming right along, but the biggest surprise was how well I hit my driver, and #3 wood off the tee, and my mid range, and short irons were extremely good.  The big area I need to improve upon is my fairway woods, which are, and were very inconsistent.  All that being said, I am way ahead of where I was this time last year, so I'm planning to play at least 9 holes on Wednesday.

By the time I returned home it was after 4:30 pm....where did the day go?  While I took a shower TLE prepared dinner....a nice dinner salad with croutons and bleu cheese dressing.  We've been watching a new crime series on BritBox called DCI (Deputy Chief Inspector) Banks, and are now in season 4.  There are so many very good series of all genres on BritBox.  The writing, and acting is exceptional.

Thanks for stopping by!
