6:53 am, and 6:53 pm......

 5:33 am - Thursday - September 25th - LPG&RVR - 48° F, humidity 37%, wind 2 mph out of the southeast.....partly cloudy skies today with a forecast high of 83° F.  Today the sun will rise at 6:53 am and set at 6:53 pm....exactly 12 hours of daylight, and 12 hours of darkness....COOL!  On this date in 2015 Vin Scully called his last Dodger home game....

.....we were at Tahoe Valley Campground that day.  The Dodgers won that game with a walk off homerun, and there is no one who makes a better home run call than Vin.  RIP Vin Scully!

As the days become shorter, and our time here at LPG&RVR does the same.  With the completion of the 3rd day in our four day work week we have just 5 more work days, and perhaps around 12-13 days before we haul anchor and begin our slow trek south.  Most every deciduous tree is now changing colors, and that chilly Fall crispness is in the air.  As I noted above the sun will rise and set exactly 12 hours apart today (9/25).  I'm wearing my hoody sweatshirt until after 10 am these days, but just a week ago I was shedding it before 8 am each day.  Seasonal changes are abrupt here just 70 miles from the Oregon border.

We only had one tee time reserved when we began Wednesday, but by the end of the day 10 carts had been rented....a slowish day to be sure.  I had some mowing to do before TLE's lunch break, and some grass to water, so I had plenty with which to keep busy.  Before I began to mow I headed up the hill to check on the new park model which was delivered for two of our members.....

....who've had a trailer in this site for a number of years.  I guess hey plan to stay a while....lol.  Its about 368 square feet, and should be ready for occupancy within a week, or so.

As I made my way around the golf course mowing around 'my' tee boxes I couldn't help but notice how many trees have completely changed color now....

.....I was finished mowing just before 12 pm, so I had time to blow the grass of the mower deck, and refuel it before I put it away.  Just as I entered the Clubhouse to give TLE her lunch break Claude arrived to let us know they had finished punching and sanding the sod farm, which is always the final job each year.  Claude and I spent the next hour talking about our summer here, and our plans for the winter.  By the time he headed home to get some lunch it was well after 1 pm, and almost time for TLE to return.  I answered just one phone call, and sold a bottle of Gatorade in 90 minutes.

By the time I headed home at the end of my shift only four of the 10 carts had returned.....our first golfers didn't tee off until after 10 am, with the final golfers going out after TLE's lunch break.  The temperature definitely hit the forecast high of 88° F, and that will be the last hot day this season.  Temps will slide back into the 70's by the weekend, and into the 60's for our final 4 day work week.

Thanks for stopping by!
