Milestones......

5:41 am - Monday - September 9th - LPG&RVR - 48° F, humidity 43%, wind 4 mph out of the south by southeast......clear, blue, sunny skies today with a forecast high of 87° F.  On this date in 2020 TLE and I were cruising through the Olympic Peninsula toward Forks, WA when we pulled up behind a 1969 Newell....small world.....

You can see our '82 parked just behind the '69


.....love serendipity!  Oh, and by the way, HAPPY BIRTHDAY to The Lovely Elaine!  Today is the 35th anniversary of her 39th birthday.

I always say how tough the first day back at work after 4 day off is, and when you are getting over a cold, well that just adds another layer of tough.  Thankfully, it was a Sunday, and Sundays are more laid back than most days, however, we did manage to rent 18 golf carts over the course of the day.  Apparently, we are not the only ones who have come down with colds...I would say half the staff here at LPG&RVR have colds right now.

I spent most of my time Sunday circling the golf course as marshal, but did manage to rake two of the four sand traps during my rounds.  While we were off work the prior four days the golf course took delivery on six new to us 2020 Yamaha EFI gas powered golf carts, which we were expecting.  I'll take pictures of them Monday.  During the past few weeks we've been selling off five of the older 2010 Club Car gassers, and actually sold the last one ($2,600 each) on Sunday.  Who knew 14 year old golf carts were worth so much?

It only got to 87° F Sunday, but it felt much warmer than that to me.  By the end of my shift I was feeling better.  All but 6 of the rented carts had returned by 3:30 pm, so I'll have those to wash first thing Monday morning.  After a delightfully long hot shower I settled down in my recliner to take a much needed nap.  Sunday also saw me hit another milestone in my weight loss.....the scales showed that I have gotten down to 178.2 pounds....I haven't weighed that little since the early 90's.  It took me quiet a while to break that 180 pound barrier, but I have finally done it!  Congratulations to me for that, and for keeping off the weight I lost earlier in the summer!

Thanks for stopping by!
