On the mend.....

 5:43 am - Tuesday - September 3rd - LPG&RVR - 44° F, humidity 55%, wind 1 mph out of the south....clear, blue, sunny skies today with a forecast high of 84° F.  On this date in 2015 TLE and I were in Bandon, OR having fish tacos at Tony's Crab Shack....some of the best fish tacos ever.....



I felt a little bit better Monday morning, and any improvement is always a welcome sign. High winds were forecast later in the day, so most of our golfers went out early.  In all we rented ust 7 golf carts, and 3 of those rentals came back early due to the winds being in the mid 20's.  I can attest to the ferocity of the winds as each time I made a round of the course I was buffeted to and fro.  It was difficult to keep my bucket had seated on my head.

As the day progressed I felt better and better, and by the time I headed home at 3:30 pm I was feeling the beast I had felt in 3 days.  I've continued to take ZICAM several times a day, and just as in the past, it is getting positive results.  

The folks in the large pavilion left Saturday so it was time to hop on the Husqvarna 2 bag mower and mow the grass around both pavilions, the grass between the Clubhouse deck and the putting green, the grass around the tee boxes at the 10th hole, plus the grass at the large group picnic/firepit area.  That's all I felt up to doing Monday, but I will still have the rest of the mowing at the other tee boxes for which I am responsible, as well as the tent sites, and the back in sites.  Not sure how much of that mowing I'll get done, but we'll see how I feel Tuesday.

By 3:30 pm 4 of the 7 carts had returned.  One of the carts not back at 3:30 pm was the #4 Club Car electric, which meant I would need to return at 5 pm to make sure it got washed, and connected to electricity.  When I did return all the carts where there.  It took me just a few minutes to wash, and stow them.

Jose, the course superintendent, set the date for beginning to punch the greens, and that will be September 16....just 2 weeks away.  It will probably take us 8 days spread over the final two weeks of September to get them all done.  Additionally, Dennis announced that LPG&RVR will not reopen until May 1st of 2025 giving us an extra 3 weeks before we report for duty.  The weather in April is almost always miserable, and we have very few customers then, anyway, so it makes sense to me.

Thanks for stopping by!
