'Lido deck' day......2 month 'anniversary'......

8:01 am - Monday - June 10th - LPG&RVR - 60° F, humidity 54%, wind 1 mph out of the north by northwest......crystal clear, blue, sunny skies today with a forecast high of 87° F.  On this date in 2013 TLE and I were in Salem, Wisconsin at an RV park near the La Crosse River.....parked in parkland....



 I had one goal Sunday, and that was to watch as much of the final round of The Memorial Tournament as possible.  It is held annually at a golf course designed, and built by Jack Nicklaus, perhaps the greatest golfer ever to play the game.  Jack, and his wife Barbara host this tournament each year, but I get ahead of myself.

The temperature dropped into the low 50's overnight, and a lower high temperature for Sunday of just 81° F.  We've run the A/C the past few days as temps hovered in the high 80's, and low 90's, but on this day there would be no A/C, and no heaters.  This was the first day since we arrived 2 months ago that neither heat, nor A/C were required at any time during the day, or night.

We were up a tad before 7 am, and by 8:30 am we were beginning our 2 mile out and back walk, the 20th installment of this season.....



.....we've been stepping up our game the past couple of walks, and averaged 3.4 mph again, finishing the 2 miles in just over 35 minutes.  Kind of nice to take a walk wearing a t-shirt (moi) for a change.

Once we were back I turned on the outdoor TV to begin watching The Memorial.  Scottie Scheffler began the day with a 4 stroke lead at 10 under par, and would need every stroke of that lead to finish on top at the end of the day.  The average score on Sunday was 75, or 3 over par....it was that tough!  As they finished the 72nd and final hole Scottie was at 8 under par (2 over par for the day), and Colin Morikawa was at 7 under par (1 under par for the round).  That is Scottie's 5th victory in his last 8 appearances, and I believe there was a second place finish over that stretch, as well.  

During the afternoon I took a couple of naps whilst ensconced in my anti gravity chair, but that was the extent of my activity, other than the 2 mile walk and dumping the black tank, for the day.  Spending the day in the cool confines of our 'lido deck' made it a perfect Sunday for me, and with my boy Scottie playing clutch golf down the stretch to win, made it even better.

Thanks for stopping by!
