Sunny and Julie

I put up a blog post earlier this month saying I needed some short time help at the lodge and a lot of people responded. Thank you. Sunny Todhunter showed up and spent fou or so days here working and it helped a lot and was pretty fun. Sunny is good people. She wouldn't let me take her picture.

Back in the 80s I opened an indoor soccer facility in Salt Lake. I was doing a soccer clinic there with some pros and we went across the street to eat at Pizza Hut. I said "I got to find somebody with work ethic to work at the facility." Then a guy came over and took our order, prepared the pizza, rang it up, delivered it to us, while everybody else that worked there was just standing around. One of the pros, I think it was Juli Veee, said, "Hire that guy. He does everything." When we finished and went to leave I went over to Loren and said "Want to work somewhere and be appreciated." He said "I do." I said when you get off work, walk across the street." Loren Brobeck came in, I hired him and he has worked at Let's Play since then until this year. I also hired his wife Julie Brobeck and she was just as good until illness slowed her down. I went to Julie's funeral last week in Salt Lake. I met her brother who gave her a kidney so she could live 15 more years, but she made it for 30 more years. I miss you my friend.

The Garage

Finally got the garage cleaned so I believe that mostly finishes up all the damage from the wind storm a month or two ago. What a mess. Tree is back up and Base Camp sign is back up.

My Friend Kobae

Kobae spills the drinking water for critters on the front porch pretty much daily.

He finally went on a hike but the sun came out, it got hot, and he turned around and came back, not like the old days of daily three to seven mile hikes.

A week or so ago Kobae saw a warped reflection of himself in the refrigerator door and has been ramming it daily since. Teresa left him a message to delete his reflection and it appears to be working.

Kobae also has some issues with the third and fourth drawers down in the cabinet and he yanks them with his beak out on to the floor. Sunny who visited when I had a work shortage of people put this towel over them and this appears to be working also.

Then Kobae came out to help me clean the garage after he peed on the kitchen floor twice. What a treat.

Hiking the Property

First Hayduker

This is Josey. First Hayduker of the fall season. I'm thinking 2nd female hayduker that came through who said her dad named her Josie after Josie Wales.
