Good Morning from the 45th
Posted: Sat May 07, 2011 5:51 amA cloudy, chilly morning here at the 45th. Supposed to be a nice day later on though. Highs into the 50's and low 60's. Spring is on a roller coaster aruond here. Been more cold and wet than nice and sunny. Wednesday we were working in shirt sleeves or sweatshirts, in 60 degree weather and yesterday, bundled up in jackets, gloves etc., as it barely made 50, with a stiff wind blowing. Needless to say, the growing season is behind.
Making progress in the park every day. Grounds are looking good, still picking up leaves and sticks and so forth. All the campground buildings are cleaned and ready to go as is our mini cabin and beach day use building. Two of the bathroom/shower buildings are now open and we had about 7 camps in the park as of quitting time yesterday. Morel mushroom hunters start coming in this time of year. Not finding very many though. Too cold for them to pop out.
My grass is growing like weeds. Well it is mostly weeds
. Will be out cutting it this week on my days off. My TT is back from the dealers, all set and ready to hit the road. Now I can get inside and finish installing my cupboard doors and get that project done. Been too cold to glue the extra wood strips in that I have ready to install. Will be doing that later this weekend or Monday on my day off. Can't go anyplace anyway, as I have appointments on my day's off this week. Am hoping to go the following week, but of course weather is looking chilly and rainy again, so shall see what happens. The parks won't be really busy till Memorial Day weekend and that's just for the weekend, till after schools are out next month. So I can pretty well just go on spur of moment right now.
Today is our annual staff orientation day. So will be sitting in a meeting all day. Always new things to learn and find out about, plus some interacting among ourselves to show the new people how to handle certain situations that can crop up, a few team work games etc. It can be both boring and fun. Then tomorrow I have to work my regular scheduled day. This weekend I start working weekends.
Sounds like everybody's busy this time of year. Some are starting to haul out on the roads, others are wishing. But have a great day everyone, no matter what you are doing.
