June 16-30, 2024 The Calm Before the Storm!

16-Sun-My weather notes are windy and cool. We did all the same old things. The game warden was here today. We also got a video call from Kristi and the great grand baby. 

17-Mon-Today we were inside most of the day due to crappy weather. It was rainy and chilly. The temperature was 43-45°. 

Poopsie joined us on our walk and almost got away! LOL

18-Tue-After doing our chores we gathered up the laundry and trash. We have to haul our trash to the container center. Then it was back home to put away the laundry. It rained from 1:45 to about 6:00 PM. I made chili tonight. Yum!

19-Wed-The weather improved today. We walked the beach and picked up trash over on the DNRC side. After lunch we did weed eating on the road and by the shed. My sister called and I tried to help her with Facebook market place. But I am not too knowledgeable about it.

20-Thu-After doing chores and checking the bathroom, we were off to Walmart. We got home by 12:15 and unloaded our stuff and put it away. Next was lunch. I put the tens unit on Steve for most of the afternoon and evening. His back is giving him fits. I monitored the lot to make sure everyone was behaving. 

21-Fri-Steve got up early and did a lot of weed eating. Now he is trying to fix the check valve on the RV back flush. Next we went to the chiropractor and then Bish’s and S & S Camper. We finally found a part he could use at S & S Camper. Then it was back to the RV and he installed the check valve. Our boss called for an update. 

22-Sat-Sydney was by about noon. We monitored the parking lot and kept a check on the bathroom. It was a busy day.

23-Sun-My weather note for today is Windy. The beach had to be picked because there was trash on it. It was busy here, a lot of boats launched today. We had hamburgers and chips for supper. 

This is a lily pad that floated over. It was gone the next day.

This is the parking ticket we give!

This guy said he would only be here to load. But it took him I long time.
When I saw him I told him he lied to me. And he needed to get his truck moved. It is blocking the wide swing area needed for the boat trailers!

24-Mon-Well Steve’s back is not improving. I made him rest while I picked up trash on the beach. Later we took the dogs on a ride to Horseshoe Lake. We had supper in town at Rosa’s Pizza.

25-Tue-We did our usual things this morning. Tony P called and arrived here with a case of toilet paper and the no fireworks signs before we finished our walk. We did the chores and put up the no fireworks signs.

26-Wed-Today was a little adventure day. We finished our chores and loaded up the trash. Then we took the dogs and went to Hungry Horse MT to the Huckleberry Patch about noon. We were home about 2:30 PM. I wanted to get some birthday presents purchased to mail home before this whole area becomes crowded with tourists. 

We found out there was a storm at home. We had some damage and learned later there was more damage than first discovered. Anyway a new roof and gutters are in order when we get home. 

Thought about getting this for our boss! LOL

27-Thu-We were inside a lot today because it rained. We did not walk until 4:30 or so. We picked up trash on the road to keep things looking nice. Later we took the dogs on a short drive. 

28-Fri-We did our morning routine and took a walk. Steve’s back is still giving him trouble. I walked the beach and cleaned the outdoor toilet. Tony was here and pulled out the dock. He had me sign the stipend paper. Later we listened to a podcast while sitting outside. 

29-Sat-Today we did a good washout on the bathroom floor of the outhouse. Later we went to town. Then I monitored the parking lot pretty closely. 

30-Sun-We had some more rain today and it was not too busy. I did some reading in bed today. The stopped about 10:30 then we took a short walk and did the chores. Tony P came by about 12:45. The electricity was off about 4 hours. We are so glad the generator works great! One of the reasons we love our little volunteer job here is that we see deer almost everyday. Sometimes they pose really great!

Found in the outdoor toilet. A little surprise. At least they had it stacked neatly!
