The last day.....

 5:52 am - Thursday - May 1st - LPG&RVR - 35° F, humidity 72%, wind 1 mph out of the east by southeast....crystal clear, blue, sunny skies today with a forecast high of 74° F.  On this date in Ashtabula, OH at the Elks Lodge.....

.....we chose to stay east of Cleveland to be out of the city, and then drove back to Cleveland to tour the 'Rock & Roll Hall of Fame' the next day.

Wednesday was our last free day before we begin working the summer season here at LPG&RVR.  On my menu was to complete, or at least make a big dent in the conversion of the trailer into a garage for the next 5 months, plus install our water filters system, change hoses from the heated hose to our regular fresh water hose, and finish setting up our 'dining/gaming deck' since the plan was to grill a steak for dinner, and eat outdoors for the first time at LPG&RVR this summer.  Just enough to keep me busy most of the day, but first we needed to take our second 2 mile out and back walk of the summer.....

.....we were able to complete the 2 miles in just over 39 minutes this time breaking our very slow time from the day before of 40+ minutes.  It was a nice morning for a walk.

Once we were back TLE headed over to the Clubhouse for a 10 am meeting, and orientation, and I headed out to 'lido deck' to install the aforementioned filters, and regular fresh water hose.....

.....as well as TLE's brand spanking new garden hose....I actually bought it just after we arrived at The Wilson Wilderness, but we never used it there......

.....once that was done I headed over to the Clubhouse to putt for the first time in over six months.  The putting green is still a little 'fuzzy', and needs a little closer mowing, but it is in good shape after the winter.  I did surprisingly well.  About the time I finished TLE was also finished with her meeting so we rode back to site #55 together where I got busy putting some more touches on the 'dining/gaming deck'.....

.....and then turned my full attention to the trailer interior, which was total chaos.....but looked much better a couple of hours later.....

......by the time I finished it was after 2 pm, and time for a nap.  I got way more done in the trailer than I expected, leaving just another hour, or so of work before it is officially a garage again.  Having so much less stuff to organize has made the job much easier.

We grilled our steak, and my good friend's (Claude Banker) steak a little after 5 pm....I failed to memorialize the dinner in pictures, but suffice it to say, it was great.  Claude is going to be one of the 'Course Marshals' this summer.  He made the trip out from Kansas about 2 weeks ago, so he could take a side trip up to Oregon to visit his 105 year old mother before beginning the summer season, and just returned on Sunday.  He is staying in his 1984.5 Blue Bird Wanderlodge, which has the same Detroit Diesel 6v92 that our 1982 Newell has.

Time to get ready for our first of four workdays, so thank you so much for stopping by!
