Day off, or work?

 7:01 am - Saturday - November 4th - GNHS - 51° F, humidity 46%, wind 3 mph out of the south by southeast.....crystal clear, blue, sunny skies today with a forecast high of 86° F.  On this date in 2015 we were in Minden, NV for a couple of nights at Silver City RV Park before heading to SoCal for the winter.....I guess we weren't moving south fast enough to escape the long arm of old man winter......lol....↴

We had two all day rentals which went out at 9 am Friday.  Initially Hunter was going to handle them, and be on call the rest of the day, but the spare tires finally arrived at COYNE Power Sports down in El Centro so Hunter was sent to retrieve them in the company van.  I'm glad he's here this year to make that 2 hour round trip drive!  I did it way too many times last year.  Anyway, since he was gone I was next up to be on call.  I busied myself installing the rest of the 2 ton scissor jacks on the remaining RZRs, as well as a few more fire extinguishers.

Next I installed my old LCD flat screen TV from the trailer (I replaced it last winter with a TCL Roku TV ) in the COA office.  It is not a 'smart' TV, so I ordered an Amazon Fire Stick to transform it into a 'smart' TV so we can stream offroad footage in the office when we are open for business.  We had left it in its box in the office loft last summer intending to do just this.  The Amazon Fire Stick was easy to install following on screen instructions, and the wall mount for the TV was equally intuitive. ....

My 'old' trailer TV became 'smart' overnight

....I think it came out well!

Around 1:30 pm we rented out a RZR to some ladies in the park for a couple of hours, and that was about the time Hunter returned from COYNE with the spare tires.  While he headed down to the GNHS shop to mount the spare tires on rims I began to wash one RZR after another finishing around 3:45 pm when the ladies returned, so I checked them in, and then washed their RZR so we will have enough clean ones for our Saturday rentals.  The all day rentals returned around 4:30 pm, so Hunter checked them in, and then I put them away until Saturday when I'll fuel and wash them while the other rentals are out.  It was nice to have a day without any equipment issues, and to see our customers return with smiles upon their faces.

I finally finished with everything around 5 pm, and was beat.  I hadn't expected to work at all Friday, but ended up with 8 hours on the time card.  After a quick shower I joined TLE, who was off work Friday, on the 'viewing deck' to see in another sunset, and the end to another day at GNHS.

We'll get temps in the 89° F range Saturday and Sunday, and then by Wednesday the temps will slide back into the 70's, or lower the rest of the winter.  Daylight Savings Time, aka: DST, changes back to Standard Time for another winter Sunday, and then the sun will be setting at 4:47 pm.

Thanks for stopping by!
