150 feet tall!

 5:48 am - Saturday - August 29th - LPG&RVR - 48° F, humidity 33%, cloud cover 2%, wind 15 mph out of the west by southwest.....clear, blue, sunny skies today with a forecast high of 81° F.  On this date in 2013 TLE and I were in Coeur d' Alene, ID.....

.....walking along the floating dock at The Lake Resort on Lake Coeur d' Alene.

Friday the temperature broke into the very low 80's.  The cloud cover was quite significant, and there was a delightful breeze blowing all day long.  TLE was still putting away groceries from Thursday first thing Friday, and I was putting away some stuff we bought in the trailer.  

By 10 am I was done with my outdoor activities, and TLE was all but done putting away groceries.  I pulled out our outdoor TV from the through bay and set it on the Rubbermaid outdoor storage box on the 'lido deck' to watch the FedEx Cup Championship being played in 'Hotlanta', GA this week.  This is the final event of the regular PGA tour this season, and features the top 30 golfers in the world.   I haven't just sat and watched a entire golf round in from beginning to end in a long time.

Claude stopped by to welcome us home, and let me know Jose had finally been able to fix Club Car Villager #20.  After replacing the fuel pump (me), and Jose replacing the coil, it finally came down to the RPM limiter (governor), which we believed had gone bad.  We happened to have one in stock, so he was able to install it while we were gone to Klamath Falls, then drive it all around the golf course a couple of times to confirm the repair was good.  Claude also related that Thursday morning before we returned a giant dust devil over 150' tall had run through the Clubhouse area lifting my freshly repaired Club Car off the ground and moving it 50 feet to the 'Cart Return' area from the 'Caddy Shack' area before setting it down.  It also ripped several parts off our John Deere riding mower and deposited them out on the driving range.  Whoa!  Glad we missed that!  Around 2:30 pm I drove my loaner cart over to the Clubhouse to move my stuff back to Club Car Village #20, and drive it home.

Scottie Scheffler began the 2nd round of the FedEx Cup Championship at 5 under par, and three strokes off the lead.  He promptly bogeyed two holes in a row on the front 9 to drop to 3 under par, but then went on a birdie spree to get to 8 under par, and that is where he finished round two, 2 strokes behind the leader.  Should be an interesting weekend of golf!

Well, it's time to begin another 4 day work cycle, so thank you for stopping by!
