An eye for an eye.....

7:58 am - Thursday - July 20th - LPG&RVR - 68° F, humidity 27%, wind 1 mph out of the south by southeast....crystal clear, blue, sunny skies today with a forecast high of 95° F.  On this date in 2014 I was mountain biking at Mammoth Mountain with good friends.....↴

Well, I finally cracked Wednesday under the daily pressure...lol....of putting out content.  I'm now in the position of playing catchup, so this post will be about Tuesday's shenanigans.  I was on the job by 6:30 am for the third consecutive day.  I staged just 10 golf carts, and we sent out 8 in total for the entire day.  We're kind of in the 'dog days' of July, and the park is a tad empty right now, but that can be a good thing for those of us who toil daily in the fields of LPG&RVR.  When things are not so busy 'we' (Walt & I) can get other things done for which we do not have time on busy days.  For one thing I can knock out the tee box mowing in one session, unlike the past few weeks when we've been putting out 30+ golf cars per day.  

Tuesday was also the day the TLE had her first eye appointment in Alturas to begin the process of having her first cataract surgery.  Her appointment was at 10 am, so at 9 am Walt arrived to take my place for 3 hours so I could drive TLE into Alturas.  If they were not going to dilate her eyes she could have gone by herself, but it is not a good idea to attempt to drive with fully dilated eyes.  The appointment went well, and at the end of the appointment they sent a referral to the eye center in Klamath Falls, who in turn will call TLE in the next few days to set the appointment for her first surgery.  She's going to get both eyes done over a couple of weeks.  Her follow up appointments will be kept in Alturas.

We were back at LPG&RVR by 11:30 am, so I went back to work while TLE went home to wait for her eyes to get back to normal.  Lynn, one of the workers here, took her place in the office from 9 am to 4 pm, when TLE finally returned.  In the interim I gave Lynn her lunch break at 1 pm, and after that I continued working until 4 pm.  I was able to get the tee boxes at #3, 15, 16, 17 and 18 mowed, dragged a few cart paths, as well as all the golf carts we rented washed and put away before the end of my shift.  I worked until 4 pm to get in my 8 hours.  TLE finished out the last hour of her shift to close out the books on another LPG&RVR day.

Thanks for stopping by!
