End of First Week Working at Lodge

Before heading to work for our final day of the first work week, we went looking for bikes. Our neighbor and co-worker here in the park - Harvey - purchased a bike in Jackson in 2010 at a local pawn shop for $50. Josie and I thought we would check out the pawn shops to see if there were any deals. There weren't. There were several bikes available, but we weren't going to spend $400 on one, nor are we going to acquire a bike that needs another $100 in work before it can be ridden. We surfed the web and found that there are many choices of good bikes that would satisfy our need at Walmart online. They also include free shipping which means we don't have to travel to the nearest one in Idaho Falls. We will study the reviews on the various models and probably get a couple bikes delivered from Walmart. Before that, we will look at the selection at our local Kmart in Jackson.

It was spitting rain off and on all morning yesterday but we decided to mow the lawn anyway since it was getting very high. On the way back from our bike search, we stopped at the maintenance shed here at the RV park and picked up the mower and trimmer. Josie said she wanted some exercise, so she mowed while I trimmed. It didn't take more than about a half hour to complete the whole job:

Our first work week is in the books and it really did go fast. We received our schedule for June yesterday and, as we hoped, we will be working the afternoon shift (3PM - 11PM) from Saturday through Wednesday each week. We will also be working with Donna most of those days which is fine with us.

It's still raining this morning so our plans for the day are still undecided. There is a spot in the northern section of the Tetons where bears are common that we may try if the sun peaks through, so our fingers are crossed...
