Weed whack Tuesday.....

 5:48 am - Wednesday - July 31st - LPG&RVR - 56° F, humidity 66%, wind 1 mph out of the east by southeast......partially cloudy skies today with a forecast high of 94° F.  On this date in 2018 TLE and I were in Southwest Harbor, ME eating lobster rolls, and drinking Allagash White (Belgian White) brews at Beal's Lobster Pound.....

Back to work we go for another 4 days, which will see us leave July in the rearview mirror, and embrace the month of August.....just two months to go in the season!  The forecast high for Tuesday was just 86° F....anything under 90° is nice this time of year, and it was a very pleasant day.  On my four days off Dennis and Bob mowed practically every piece of grass, and now that we are into the part of the summer where the grass growth begins to slow we are only mowing everything once per week.

When I went down to flip the sign there were three deer grazing on the grass behind the Night Registration office

After checking the tee time sheet I staged just 5 golf carts, and I think we actually rented 6.  For the first time since we arrived in April there were ZERO goose/duck leavings.....ZERO!  I did, however, rake three of the four sand traps before returning to the Clubhouse.  With all the mowing pretty much done I had time to get out the Stihl string trimmer, and trim all the mowed areas, which included all 15 upper pull through sites, the small Pavilion, all four employee sites, all 10 pull through sites down the gravel section, the entire Meadow area around trees, and a dozen, or so electrical pedestals (the pedestals were installed years ago to accommodate large 'Stargazer' groups which come here for the 'dark skies' each year to power their telescopes), the group fire pit area, and tent sites 1-3.....that's a lot of weed whacking!

I finished just before 12 pm, and it was time for TLE's lunch break.  After she returned I made a marshaling round of the course, then hopped on the Husqvarna 2 bag mower, and headed out to mow around the tee boxes for which I am responsible (3, 10, 15, 16, 17 & 18).  I'm only mowing them every 10-14 days now as that grass growth has also slowed way down.  I was back by 2:30 pm, and all that was left was to wash, and stow the rented carts which had returned.  By the time 3:30 pm rolled around all but one of the six had been returned

As we enter the month of August the golf courses, and RV park are looking their best, and the work is is getting easier to maintain it.  The smoke from the Park Fire is lessening day by day, mostly because the wind direction has changed.  I think the fire is less than 20% contained, so it is not as if the fire has been quenched.  Tuesday was the clearest day we've had in over a week.

We had dinner with Charles and Phyllis again, and watched a movie before bidding our adieus.  Hard to believe there is only one more day left in their stay before we say our 'until next times', and look forward to seeing them this winter.

Thanks for stopping by!
