Mowing and trimming.....

 6:23 am - Thursday - May 29th - LPG&RVR - 48° F, humidity 39%, wind 10 mph out of the north by northwest.....clear, blue skies today with a forecast high of 83° F.  On this date in 2017 my son, Tim, and his fiancé, Laila, came to visit TLE and I in South Lake Tahoe....


....I wrote about that here.

Wednesday, the final day of our four day work week, was another busy mowing day for me, but not before I staged 14 golf carts to begin the day.  Once that was done I made the first of three rounds the golf course checking on the goose/duck leavings at tee box #3, and the four sand traps.  Upon my return I fixed the hinged lid for our 'Key Drop' box where returning golfers deposit the keys to their carts.  The lid split a few years ago, and at the time I chose to glue it, but time, and weather undid that repair, so this time I retrieved three very long wood screws, some drill bits, my Porter Cable drill, then drilled holes into the front of the lid, then inserted the screws.  I think this repair will last....I'll take a picture later and add it to the blog.

By the time I finished it was 10 am, and time to begin mowing.  You will recall I mowed the tee boxes at #10 on Tuesday, so I only had the ones at 3, 15, 16, 17 and 18 remaining.  The mowing went smoothly, and I returned around 11:15 am; thinking I had enough time to mow the grass around the 'Night Office' I headed directly there.  I finished with that large grass piece around 11:50 am, and headed for the Clubhouse.  As I was passing pull through sites 21, 22 and 23 I noticed they had been vacated, so I made a right turn and mowed them quickly.  By the time I parked the 2 bag Husqvarna it was exactly 12 pm, and time to give TLE her lunch break.


I took a few phone calls, and checked in one arrival, but that was the extent of what happed from 12 pm to 1 pm.  Once TLE was back I headed out to the 'Cart Return' to begin washing the four golf carts which had been returned while I was in the Clubhouse office.  Once done with that I retrieved a Stihl string trimmer and trimmed around the small gazebo which I had mowed Tuesday, then down to the 'Night Office' to trim what I couldn't mow, then back to the Clubhouse to trim along the wooden deck.  

I had some time on my hands before the final influx of golf carts arrived, so I made my final round of the course to see where the remaining carts were.  There were only five, and I found one on the 7th hole, two on the 17th hole, one on the 16th hole, and one on the 15th hole....

Another spectacular day at Likely Place Golf and RV Resort

.....by the time I returned all but one of those five carts had been returned, so I washed them and stowed them in the cart shed.  It was just after 3:30 pm, so I headed for home to take a shower, and a nap before returning at 5 pm to give TLE a ride home.  Time for our four day weekend!

We're off (Thursday morning) to make the drive down to Reno for my orthopedist appointment in just a few minutes.  We'll make stops at COSTCO and Trader Joe's while we're there, and hope to be back mid afternoon.

Thanks for stopping by!
