Two cabins checked out today so I went into them and turned off the refrigerators. I also took out the dirty laundry, made the bag of clean laundry, and got the 2 cabins cleaned thanks to a lot of help. Then John and I had to prepare for the Spina Bifida Group who were going to fill all our cabins today.
We went around and turned on all the heaters, hot water, refrigerators, pilot lights and whatever else needed to get them ready. Then John noticed that 2 heaters needed to be cleaned out. We have old propane heaters in some cabins which are vented outside. Propane is dirty and leaves a black soot in the burning areas of the heaters. So John took out the air compressor and vacuum. The then blew out the black soot into the vacuum cleaner hose when it was turned on. He's a pro at this. This keeps the soot from blowing all over the cabin. Now the heaters should run perfectly, in theory.
I inspected and fixed a couple cabins issues with things that we missed while cleaning. I did 3 loads of laundry and put away all the professionally cleaned laundry.
After a few telephone calls I did a bunch of paperwork and answered a bunch of e-mails. I got a lot done in the office. I was going to go outside and mow the rest of the lawn, but just then I heard John start it up. There was only the area in front of our living room and private entrance that needed to be mowed.
My son, Joey stopped by after work today. He just moved into an apartment and needed a lot of stuff. We gave him a sofa sleeper, sheets, blankets, pillow, towels, and his mail. He has it all sent here because he's not sure how long he's going to be in his apartment. Next time we see him he will get some cooking utensils and dishes, etc. The poor guy has nothing right now. I gave him some food, plastic wear and plates today too. What kind of mother would I be if I let him leave without feeding him? He needed to go right away, so I couldn't cook for him. We will need to find him a double or queen bed soon too. Does anybody in northern Wisconsin out there have a real cheap mattress set?
After he left a lot of our customers arrived. It was fun to see them again. The kids all grow up so fast.
John and I are very tired so it is nice that this group mostly does their own thing. They will be trick or treating amongst each other's cabins this weekend for fun. I told them to come to the lodge too and I would have something for them. What fun!
