Stow, stow, stow your boat.....

6:35 am - Thursday - March 28th - GNHS - 57° F, humidity 70%, wind 3 mph out of the east by northeast......partly cloudy today with a forecast high of 79° F.  On this date in 2014 TLE and I were touring the old ghost town of Jerome, AZ.....very cool place with great alfresco dining.....

We were on the job a little after 8 am, and ended up having two all day rentals on Wednesday.  One customer arrived for their rental at 8:45 am, and the other around 9:10 am, so they were both on their adventures by 9:30 am.  We only have four RZRs available for rent right now.  Of our original 12 units 5 have been prepped for return to Polaris, 1 was totaled a few weeks ago, and the other two have been out of action, awaiting the arrival of parts for at least couple of months.  I say that to say this.....we rented half of our available fleet on Wednesday.  Normally we are not open on Wednesdays, but this is the beginning of Spring Break, and people are here all week, which is not the norm.  We have bookings for Thursday, Friday, and Saturday so far, but nothing for Sunday yet.  Since Hunter has friends from Colorado visiting this week we've taken all of the hours, which is nice as we haven't really had a big payday for a long time now...not that anyone is complaining, but it is always nice to earn a little extra cash here and there, especially when not much actual physical labor is required.

Since there was nothing else to do until our customers returned I spent some more time in the trailer stowing stuff, and managed to get quite a bit done....

Two of the bikes, which are now stowed, used to be back there....

.....and now they are now in their travel positions up front, under the work bench....

....but before I could stow the bikes I had to stow the Black and Decker Workmate workbench (above), and the Ancheer back machine (below), which are both collapsed and stowed against the front bulkhead of the trailer

....now I only have my Haibike eBike to stow, take down the two tool tables and stow them, stow the Adirondack chairs, stow the umbrellas, stow the Ozark Trails dining canopy, and I'm pretty much ready for turf and VW insertion.  I always think it will take twice as long as it does, and didn't expect to finish until Tuesday, but now it appears I will be done by Sunday....yay!  On Wednesday I'll dump our waste tanks for the final time, turn around the trailer, and Newell, drop the trailer on the hitch, and we'll be ready to leave when we return from Los Algodones on Friday afternoon.  Time is short, and confidence is high!

Our two all day customers returned at 4:05 pm, and 4:35 pm respectively without any damage.  After the second customer returned TLE and I drove the two RZRs down to the fuel station, filled them up, and parked them.  I'll wash them on Thursday when we only have one 1/2 day customer who is not leaving until 1 pm for their 4 hour adventure.

Remarkably, the temps are still in the 70's this late in March, and with the exceptions of 1, or 2 days currently forecast to be in the low 80's, every other day will be in the 60's and 70's, and we may even get some rain on Saturday if the weather guessers have anything to say about it.

Thanks for stopping by!
