A bridge too far?

5:53 pm - Wednesday -  2nd - LPG&RVR - 85°  F, humidity 19%, wind 15 mph out of the west.......partly cloudy, and the high of 89° F has been realized.  On this date in 2020 TLE and I visited the grave of my mother, Virginia, who died in April at 90 years of age.....↴

TLE and my sister, Hilary, lay flowers at the grave....no headstone yet

Tuesday started slowly, and ended that way, but the time in between flew by quickly.  I staged 5 golf carts initially, and we ultimately rented out 7, so another slow day on the course.  Since it was the first day of my four day work week I headed out to weed, and rake all four of our sand traps, and had them done by 9 am.  On my way back to the Clubhouse from the sand trap at the 18th hole I found the owner, Dennis Tate, working on repairing the bridge we must cross to get back to the RV park, and Clubhouse.  We were having to drag the bridge almost every day as it became washboardy after just a few hours.  The solution was to remove all the gravel, lay down 2 x 4's side to side, then lay down 4 x 6 pressure treated boards length wise to provide a level surface on which to transition the bridge.....below is the final result, and it is so much better.....

.....it has been a while since either Walt, or I have gone way into the forest on each side of the driving range to retrieve errantly hit golf balls, so since it was a slow day I decided to do that.  Walt and I call it 'deep cleaning' the driving range.  In all I retrieved around 4 gallons of balls, some of which I think have been out there since last year.....lol.

By the time I returned to the Clubhouse with the golf balls 4 golf carts had been returned to I first washed the balls, then the four carts before giving TLE her lunch break at 12 pm.  After lunch I made a round of the course to see how play was going, but, not too unexpected, I found no issues with only 3 carts still on the course.  I also mowed the grass around the large Pavilion, as well as the large grass area next to site #30 before it was time to wash, and put away the final 3 carts, and head for home.

Today.....Wednesday.....we just returned from Klamath Falls for TLE's pre-surgery appointment and are excited to tell you that she will have a new lens put in her right eye next Tuesday (August 8th), and we hope a new one in her left eye one later in the month, if not the first of September!

Thanks for stopping by!
