Cool.....

 5:36 am - Friday - June 20th - LPG&RVR - 49° F, humidity 43%, wind 3 mph out of the northwest.....partly cloudy today with a forecast high of 63° F....23° lower than yesterday.  On this date in 2017 TLE and I were exploring the Lamar Valley in Yellowstone NP.....



.....there are large herds of buffalo there.

The temps are rapidly decreasing from the high of 90° F we had on Wednesday, and by Saturday the daytime high will only reach 59° F.  Kind of the last cooling spell we'll have before the 4th of July weekend.  The 4th of July is usually when the summer heat arrives, and we'll be getting a steady dose of temps in the low to mid 90's from that point to late August when it will begin to slowly cool again.  I know we'll look back fondly on this current cooling trend in a few weeks.

Thursday we returned to the 20+ golf cart rental phase in which we've been for the past few weeks; we had a total of 26 golf carts rented.  By the time I left at 3:30 pm 10 of them were still out on the golf course, so I'll have a lot of cart washing to do first thing Friday.  When I went to pickup TLE at 5 pm 8 of them had returned.

I did a little of everything Thursday including, but not limited to weed whipping, watering, mowing, and ball collection from the driving range.  From the time I staged the first 12 golf carts to TLE's lunch break I was going continuously.  After lunch Claude and I convened at the slope which separates the pull through RV sites from the employee sites to begin the annual  weed clearing chore.  The golf course superintendent, Jose Madrigal, thinks the weeds have stopped growing, so it's time to cut them down.  We weed whacked from 1 pm to 2 pm, and managed to clear half of the slope, and should be able to finish that on Friday afternoon.

I only garnered 1.5 five gallon buckets of balls from the driving range Thursday, which is what I would expect for mid week.  Monday's are the big days for the number of balls retrieved; Dave said he filled 6 five gallon buckets with balls on Monday.

Thanks for stopping by!
