I'm back on a regular 8:00 to 5:00 schedule on the weekends.
I did a tour of the campground at 8:00 to determine if we had any late nite arrivals. We have a "Who's Here" report that tells me what sites should be occupied. We had a rental RV in one site that was not on my list, so I reported that back to the office.
Today, my main chore was to strip the dirt and wax off the kitchen floor in the Chipmunk Cabin. Another new skill I learned. :)
Boy, I've learned lots of new skills over the past few years during our workamping stints. Of course, many of them won't go on the resume as I'm not so sure I want any additional practice. Floor stripping is one of those. :)
I finished that task just in time to go clean the bathrooms. The bathrooms were easy as occupancy is low, especially in the tent sites.
After bathrooms, I did a trash run. While doing that, I used our "Departure Report" to make sure everyone that was supposed to check out at noon was gone.
Linda went in for her shift as I was taking lunch. Another slow day for her.
In the afternoon, I put the furniture back on the two porches I painted yesterday, swept decks, finished up some winter prep on the pontoon boat, toured the campground, and did the fish parts disposal.
I took the opportunity of this slow Sunday afternoon to take some photos. I mainly wanted to see a comparison of the lake level today to earlier in the year.
That photo is from the campground boundary. The road you see was under water through June and you could only see the top of that bush. I had canoed there a little over a month ago. :)
Next, I decided to take the camera to meet the gulls. You see, whenever we take the truck or a quad to dispose of the fish parts, the gulls see us coming and flock to meet us on the shoreline.
I made them wait so I could get a shot of one in flight eyeing the prize.
Once I dumped the contents of the bag, it was like the movie "Finding Nemo" where all the gulls say "Mine, mine, mine, mine, ..." :)
They are mostly Herring Gulls ...
and Ring-billed Gulls ...
in various stages of development. The two shots above are breeding adults.
The gulls aren't shy at all and would probably eat from my hand. After I leave, the Ravens and Crows move in. Then the Turkey Vultures arrive. Finally the Bald Eagles come to see what's left.
By that time, the eagles are usually out of luck. :)
I finished up my day and watched the final matches of the Solheim Cup, the women's version of the Ryder Cup. Golf is a great sport to watch via TIVO. :)
Linda arrived after dark with another movie. We always have to pause them near the end while I make a quick quiet hours check at 10:00. :)
It was a little chilly and very quiet in the campground. The only time I have noise issues seems to be when there are large groups and we don't have any of those right now.
Back home, we finished the movie and called it a night. Only three more Sundays to go. :)
