A day behind.....

 7:27 am - Thursday - May 21st - LPG&RVR - 55° F, humidity 30%, cloud cover 16%, wind 1 mph out of the east by southeast.....crystal clear, blue, sunny skies today with a forecast high of 78° F.  On this date in 2020 TLE and I were in Telluride, CO....




....with Glenn and Laureen Parker....found a place serving food with alfresco dining....a rare find during the early days the Wuhan Flu fiasco.

I owe you a post about Tuesday.  I had good intentions Wednesday morning to write the post when I got home from work, but I took a nap instead.  So, before I write about Wednesday I will give you that Tuesday post.  The problem I have as I add one year upon another to my total trips around the sun, is that if I don't write about the prior day the next morning the things I did on that day get mixed up with what I did that day, but I'll do my best to recap Tuesday as accurately as I am able.

I began Tuesday staging the six new EZ-GO golf carts (all gassers by the way), then another four Yamaha gassers.  By the end of the day we had rented 14.  After that I headed out to do a round of the course finding minor goose/duck leavings.  I also found a lot of goose feathers which indicates they are molting.  The four sand traps still looked untouched from Monday, so I was back at the Clubhouse within 40 minutes.

We've been down to one string trimmer since the end of last summer, and since Claude uses the only one we have quite a bit I was having difficulty getting any trimming done around the Clubhouse.  There were a couple of string trimmers in the Caddie Shack, which had not been used in the four previous seasons I've worked here, so we all thought they were inoperative, but we thought wrong.  I pulled out of of the two and found there was NO fuel in the tank, so that was a good sign that it hadn't been hung up with gas still in the fuel system, which would gum it up.  I added fuel, and after a few pulls of the cord it started running....WOW.  I then lubed it, and proceeded to get a lot of trimming done.  I guess one should not assume anything, but I get caught in that trap on a pretty regular basis.

By the time I finished with the trimming it was time for TLE's lunch break.  I was kept very busy during the lunch break checking in 10 RV's, selling a hat, and a golf bag towel, answering numerous phone calls, and sending a few people out to play golf.

I did a lot of watering around the park Tuesday, and spent some of my last two hours moving sprinklers, and then washing/stowing the carts which had been returned, and was off by 3:30 pm, as usual.  I returned to pickup TLE early (around 4:45 pm) to find more carts had been returned so I washed/stowed them finishing just as TLE finished closing the office for the day.  So far I have not worn shorts, or a t-shirt this four day cycle as it has been too cold.  Maybe I will be able to do that on Wednesday.

Thanks for stopping by!
