June 22 - June 28, 2020 Hail Storm and More Fun

Monday- Jun 22
After our routine chores we went to town and did our laundry. We also cleaned the Bigfork access and picked up a mail package from Hazel. We had lunch at home and a short nap. Later we walked the dogs around the loop and sat outside. I fixed chicken and rice for supper and we also had yogurt and fruit. After some TV we let Logan drive us around on the back roads where we saw some deer! Then we went home.







Tuesday- Jun 23
This is WW Zoom meeting for me. So we walk the dogs and do the chores after that. I talked to my sister Pam and made calls for medication refills and a doctor's appointment. After lunch we drove to the forest and went to Peterson Creek, where we walked up a trail. It was kinda warm so we returned to the RV. For supper, we went to town for Pizza and stopped at the grocery store. Then Logan drove again.













Wednesday-Jun 24
Most days start with the same routine. After that, a rain came up this morning and we had to hustle to cover our firewood. After lunch, Steve was able to weed eat some because the rain stopped and it warmed up outside. Then we came inside and rested. Every time we tried to walk today it rained on us. We had a simple supper of turkey burgers, salad and beans. For dessert, we had a fiber one brownie. Later we had more RAIN! and A HAIL storm!  Wow that is an experience in the RV. The hail sounds so loud inside the RV.











Thursday - Jun 25
Today, in addition to our routine chores, we also hauled our trash off. Then we went to Kalispell and stopped at the FWP office to pick up gloves and a volunteer agreement for Logan. Next, we went to Walmart for groceries and other sundry items. I noticed more masks were being worn by the shoppers! Yea! After we got back to the RV and put away all the stuff, we rested. Later we went to town and cleaned the access site, the hardware store for weed-eater string and more groceries (to get stuff that was not in stock at Walmart). We ate fajita chicken, tortillas, salad, berries. Yummy. We finished our evening with TV.











Friday - Jun 26
We finished our routines and sat outside. I talked to both my sisters (Pam & Marsha). We had started lunch and Tony (our boss) showed up and measured the boat ramp. He may add some more concrete there. Then we finished our lunch and Tony was back to talk to an engineer guy. By 3 or 4 PM it got really packed with boaters, floater, fishermen, etc. I napped. Steve messed with the jack and the black tank. Then we went to town to eat Mexican food, because there was no room to park at the Flathead Brewing Co. Then back to the RV, we picked up the dogs and let Logan drive us on the back roads.






Saturday - Jun 27
We got up late - like about 10 AM. It was a deep clean for the outdoor latrine this morning, including dragging the hose over for a good wash down. The lake was busy but not totally crazy and slammed. We hung out at the RV til about 3:00 or so then drove to Holland Lake to sightsee. After checking it out, we went back to the RV. The guys picked up a BIG log from the loop and brought it down by the fire pit. Ste we ve is going to fix the bench with this big log. For supper we had steak, potatoes and beans. 







































Sunday - Jun 28
Today after finishing our routine stuff, we also picked up trash on the road leading into the access site. Later we hauled trash to the container site and stopped at grocery store. After we returned to the RV we did more weed eating. I took a nap in the afternoon. Our supper was smoked turkey sausage, hash browns, salad and berries. We cooked on the Blackstone griddle. We have been trying to use it when it's not raining. Later we watched Yellowstone on TV.

Saturday - June 8
We got up late, had breakfast then walked the dogs. It rained and rained today. We drove to Gardner RV for a pressure valve for the hot water heater.  Lunch was at the RV and then the guys went to Bigfork for plumber's tape. It rained some more and was pretty chilly. I'm resting with the electric blanket. Finally the sun came out, yea! We walked the loop road and sat outside.

It was routine stuff this morning - breakfast, walk, chores. We hosed out the latrine today. Next we worked on the fire pit and put up the rope around our site - so people don't walk through. Steve & Logan straightened up the shed. We also had to return to town for  Hamburgers, Buns and S'mores. Tonight we cooked over the fire pit!  Food tastes so much better cooked outside.

Monday - June 10
Tony (our boss) called about 9 am - a little after we were awake and said he would see us soon. So we rushed around and checked the latrine and parking lot. He showed up about 10. We signed the volunteer agreement. Next we did some weed eating. Steve re-organized the back of the pickup so we could fit the laundry in. Then we had our lunch and rested a bit. After sorting the laundry, we were off to town. When we finished the laundry - we checked the fishing access site in town and almost got hit by a car!  I honked at them and we avoided a wreck. We stopped at the store for milk and while we were there  - Steve had an asthma attack and of course - no inhaler.  He made it through it - but it was scary. We got home and put away the laundry and Steve recovered. I put an inhaler in my purse in case that happens again. I guess there was something at the access site in town that affected him. I fixed hamburger helper for supper. We walked by the lake a little and then watched Yellowstone (TV show).

We got up late this morning and after doing our routine chores we ate junk for lunch. We walked around the loop road. Then I rested because my back hurt. I even put heat on it. The guys put up our sun shade and wasp attractants. Then a guy came by and talked about a project his group is going to do this summer at the lake. They are going to try to educate people about the aquatic invasive species, wake and noise rules. We showered and then went to town to eat at the Mexican place next door to the Laundry. We had poor service - and don't plan to return. We will try another place next time.
Wednesday - June 12
Today we were up earlier - 8:30 AM. This was better than yesterday. We did our routine morning duties.  We went to Kalispell Walmart for supplies. Lunch was at McDonald's. When we got back to the RV - there were lots of people here at the lake. I took a short nap and we just snacked for supper. Justin, the Game Warden came by tonight and we had a few people on the dock.
Thursday - June 13
We got around slowly, but got everything done. Steve straightened the RV. This afternoon we went to Bigfork and got duct tape, went tot he post office and mailed a wedding card and gift to my nephew Landon and his bride. We checked the access site in town. Then I bought a few things at the drugstore. After supper we walked the Krause Interpretive Trail and went up to the Strawberry lake road. It was a nice night.

After the routine duties and breakfast we did some weed eating. We are trying to make the place look good. Tony (our boss) is coming down again and bringing us a couple of new T-shirts. Logan and I got in the lake - wading. I slipped and got wet almost all over, then Logan swam.  He thinks the water is COLD!  I agree.
