5:34 am - Wednesday - September 24th - LPG&RVR - 42° F, humidity 23%, wind 2 mph out of the east by southeast.....clear, blue, sunny skies today with a forecast high of 88° F. On this date in 2018 TLE and I were riding the Island Line Rail Trail along Lake Champlain.....
.....in Vermont. Good times!
It's been a while since I checked the water levels in the 30 six volt batteries in our Club Car electrics, so I didn't stage them Tuesday morning. We were expecting to rents 15-16 carts Tuesday so I initially staged 10, then went to work checking those batteries, adding distilled water as necessary.....
....it became apparent pretty quickly that I did not have enough distilled water to complete the task at hand, so I drove into Likely to visit the Likely General Store to buy four gallons ($2.89/gallon....still less than regular unleaded...lol), then returned to finish the job. In all I used 3 gallons of distilled water to top off the 30 batteries. It was only 11 am at this point so I decided to head out to the 2nd green to help the green punchers scrape sand off the green. I worked with them for about an hour before heading back to the Clubhouse to give TLE her 90 minute lunch break. About half way through TLE's lunch break they began to punch the putting green in front of the Clubhouse, and by the time lunch was over it had been plugged, and sanded....they move quickly!
There were four returned carts awaiting me at the 'Cart Return' when I exited the Clubhouse after lunch, so I began washing them, and that it what I continued doing for the next 90 minutes as one cart after another was returned until it was time to end my shift. I got all but 4 of the 16 cart rentals washed and stowed, so I'll have them to finish first thing Wednesday.
Tuesday evening was 'hump night' so only two more days left in this 4 day shift, then there will be just 4 more left before we begin preparing to haul anchor. This season has passed by so quickly. We arrived here at the very end of Winter, went through a longish Spring, then a short Summer, and now it is Fall. I love living where the four seasons are distinct, and obvious.
Thanks for stopping by!
