While we were in Louisville this past weekend we were thinking it would be nice to do something special next weekend for Josie's birthday. It happens to fall on Saturday this year, and it is a day off for us. As I researched different places that would be exciting, I discovered that just across the river from Louisville - in southern Indiana - there is .... a Casino! It is called Horseshoe Southern Indiana and is part of the Caesars chain of hotels and casinos. So, we made reservations to go Friday night and visit another attraction in Louisville while there - the Louisville Slugger Museum and Factory. That is something that has been high on our list of places to see ever since we came here last year. We will definitely take the tour and see everything there is to see while there. So, the weekend is shaping up and all we have to do is put in 3 more days of work this week.
Once again we had rain during the night while we were working. It wasn't much (.11") but it didn't cool things off much either. It is cloudy, hot and humid again today so it must be the normal summer pattern. There is no mandatory overtime this week - at least not yet - so we will have our normal 3 days off. We are considering signing up for voluntary overtime for the following week since the money is just too good to ignore. As our bodies get more used to the schedule, it makes sense to sign up.
It is very different working the summer here vs the peak season. The regular, full time employees even comment on the difference in the way the warehouse is run. Everybody is happy to see the workampers show up because the treatment of all employees seems to improve. It is a big deal here when the peak season people arrive as they really do create a boom in the local economy. It is a mixed bag for us to have more people around. We like the quiet campground but are also anxious to see old friends and new faces at work.
With only a little time before leaving for work today, we have a couple things to get done, so we'll call it a day for now...
