Monday, Monday....

5:49 am - Tuesday - July 23rd - LPG&RVR - 62° F, humidity 63%, wind 1 mph out of the east......crystal clear, blue, sunny skies today with a forecast high of 98° F.  On this date in 2013 TLE and I were driving along 'Going to the Sun Highway' in Glacier National Park....we drove all the way to Lake MacDonald where we had lunch....

 

....we were able to spend the previous night in the parking lot of the Saint Mary Visitor Center at the east entrance.  Over the next month we entered the park from every U.S. entrance, and hiked many miles.

Every once and a while our four day work schedule lines up with a Monday being our first day of work, which is the case this week.  Being a Monday, the park is pretty empty right now, but we've had a lot of folks coming to golf from offsite.  In all I staged 15 golf carts Monday morning, and 11 went out....not too bad for a Monday during the 'dog days of summer'.

On my first round of the course I found far less goose/duck leavings at the #3 tee boxes, but am not sure whether, or not I am being 'punked' by the geese/ducks.  I raked 3 of the four sand traps, and was back at the Clubhouse a little after 9 am.  Around 10 am I hopped on the 2 bag Husqvarna and began to mow.  I mowed all four water electric pull through sites, 6 of the 10 back in Meadows sites, 9 of the 10 full hookup sites, all four employee sites, and the large grass area next to site #30.  I did that in one hour!  Why so fast?  Well, since I was not having to dispose of grass clippings (the two bags were removed from the 2 bag Husqvarna last year) it went quite fast.  The grass has stopped growing as fast as it had been, so there is no need to collect the clippings.

After giving TLE her daily lunch break I made a round of the course as marshal, then got one of the 'duty' carts and hooked up the screen to drag the usual cart paths.  It's been at least a month since I've done that, and they were long overdue.  By the time I returned to the Clubhouse it was 3 pm, and time to wash the final 6 carts, and put everything away.  The temperature at 3:30 was 99° F, and was I ever glad to be able to head for home, and take a nice, long, cool shower!

Thanks for stopping by!
