Aspirations revisited.....

 7:54 am - Saturday - July 15th - LPG&RVR - 68° F, 39% humidity, wind 2 mph out of the east by southeast......crystal clear, blue, sunny skies today with a forecast high of 101° F.....the first triple digit day of the season.  On this date in 2013 TLE and I were having lunch at Killarney's Irish Pub in Aird↴rie, Alberta, Canada.........↴


Okay, after deferring our aspirations for Thursday, we needed to get down to business and finish installing the balance of the wood trim pieces, and then caulk around the areas where our trimming of the vinyl flooring was not perfect......

Quarter round trim piece under kitchen cabinets

Quarter round trim piece under bathroom cabinet

Quarter round trim piece just outside bathroom

Brown caulk in kitchen

Wood trim piece under driver seat

Brown caulk in salon

Brown caulk around center console between driver and passenger seats

.....I didn't take pictures of every single trim piece, or every place I caulked, but you get the idea.  All of this took us about 3 hours, and then the heat of the day was upon us....granted it only got to 93° F Friday, but that's hot enough for me.  By this time the rear A/C had been engaged to keep the Newell interior hospitable, and it was time to begin watching Stage 13 of Le Tour.  It will get to 101° F on Saturday, so Friday's 93 will fade from the memory quickly.

The new flooring project has taken way more time than either of us expected, but like I said....'it will take as long as it takes'....that it would consume the better part of 2 four day weekends is a tad longer than we expected, but the results speak for themselves, and we are both extremely happy with the transformation of the interior living space.  TLE is still searching for the rest of the throw/area rugs, and there are a couple that are in transit as I speak, so the final touches will 'take as long as they take'.  We're going for a smaller footprint for the throw/area rugs so that more of the 'wood' flooring is visible.

By 8 pm it had cooled enough for us to make the short drive over to the Clubhouse so I could retrieve TLE's new putter from our locker, and so we could putt for a few minutes on the newly mowed putting green.  The reason for the retrieval of TLE's new putter was for me to remove the old grip, and install a new one more to TLE's liking, plus shorten the shaft about 1.5"....here is the new putter with the new grip installed.....


....it is a 'mallet' style putter, and she is really putting much more consistently....I'm trying to get her to participate in the weekly putting contests as she did last year, so I'm hoping this new putter, and her improved putting with it will give her the confidence to begin putting competitively again.

Thanks for stopping by!
