We do not mind the heat. Paul will probably lose five pounds in water! We played 14 holes yesterday and are going to try again today!
It will be 100 again today! Last of Summer is here!
We decided to play only nine holes after checking the temperature at the turn. We could see a lot of “weather activity” over the high desert as evidenced by the large cloud formations over the mountains to the north of Old Ranch.
We played golf and could see the clouds built-up over the high desert
We spotted an odd looking duck on the sixth hole. James figured out it was an Egyptian Goose. The Egyptian Goose (Alopochen aegyptiaca) is a member of the duck, goose, and swan family Anatidae. It is native to Africa south of the Sahara and the Nile Valley.

Common sense took over at the turn (9th hole) and after examining the GPS and determining we had walked 1.7 miles in the heat, we went into the clubhouse to cool off!
We did nine holes walking 1.7 miles and it got hot!
Paul went to the parking lot to put the golf bags in the car and he noticed a definite change in wind direction and speed. Trees were moving quite a bit and there was dark clouds to the east of Old Ranch. Looked pretty stormy.
Looked like a storm was coming our direction
Within a few minutes it felt like rain! What was odd was the temperature went back up and pass the century mark! Storm weather!
When we went into the clubhouse it was 101 degrees and wet with humidity
We stayed inside for 90 minutes drinking ice water and diet cokes! We texted Lisa to see if she and the “fleabag”, Jeffery, wanted to come over and get out of the heat. She did and we had a good visit.
We decided to freshen up at home and go to Patty’s Place in Seal Beach for a cocktail and perhaps a bite to eat! Paul, being on his diet, only had a ribeye steak and he shared the potatoes with Sue. Lisa was at our house so we brought her a steak and two desserts! She is a growing girl!
Patty’s Place was decorated for Fall (and Halloween). Looked great!
We went to Patty’s Place and Paul downed a steak!
Curious, we checked our weather on the iPhone and the radar indicated there was rain over our location. What? No! We went to the door and looked outside. It was raining! Never doubt the radar.
The iPhone radar view was spot-on!
The car was getting a bath so we ducked back in for a few more minutes until the cell had passed over us. Well…. At least we did not have the car recently washed!
When we looked outside it had rained!
We headed home to feed Lisa and then we watched two movies. Jeffery liked all the attention! Sue did the treadmill! We all crashed!
