Almost predictable.....

 5:37 am - Monday - July 21st - LPG&RVR - 57° F, humidity 44%, wind 3 mph out of the south by southeast......cloudy today with a chance of rain this morning, and a forecast high of 80° F....YAY for my team!  On this date in 2020 TLE and I were having lunch at Tamarack Brewing Company in Lakeside, MT.....




.....on the shores of Flathead Lake about half way between Kalispell and Poulson, MT.  Still, to this day, the best micro brewery in our almost 14 years of travels.....amazing brews, and food, and this was during the Wuhan Flu scare.

Sunday we were back at work, but it was also the 4th and final round of 'The Open', so I didn't stray too far from the Clubhouse TV during the morning.  Scottie Scheffler began the day with a four stroke lead, which he increased to 7 strokes at one point on the front 9.  By the 72nd hole he still had that original 4 stroke lead.  That's his fourth Major, and 20th win in the past three years.  Almost Tigeresque, no?  It's almost becoming predictable that if he is in contention, the winner, more often than not, will be Scottie Scheffler.

While Sunday seemed kind of slow, we actually rented 20 golf carts, and hosted over 50 golfers.  Most of the golfers were finished by 2:30 pm, and by 5 pm all the carts had been returned.  I'll have two carts to clean first thing Monday, so not too bad.

I spent the better part of the day setting and moving sprinklers at the Clubhouse between the deck and the putting green, the large grass area in the parking lot, and down at the 'Night Office'.  In between runs to the 'Night Office' I cleaned and stowed golf carts as they returned.  The temp only got to 88, or 89° F, to which I am now acclimated.  I really don't do too bad when it gets a little over 90, but I will never get used to those triple digit days....NEVER!

I was home by 3:30 pm, took a shower, then settled in to watch the 15th Stage of Le Tour. At the end of the day Tadej was still in first place by four minutes and 13 seconds, and still wears the yellow jersey, so nothing changed in that regard. What has changed is that including Stage 15, there are only 7 of the 21 Stages left in Le Tour this year, and by this coming Sunday it will in the history books, and we will be less than a week from August 1st.  Where has the summer gone?  

Thanks for stopping by!
