Getting on schedule

We are supposed to be working 3 1/2 on, 3 1/2 off; I have worked the last 8 days straight. Today was a half day for me... well, kinda - I got off around 3:00. I did three cruise runs today, and the visibility was excellent. Nice people onboard, and the boat was mostly full. It was nice to be able to see the mountains all around the Lake. On one run, we were able to see from Mt. Washburn to the Tetons... that view didn't last long.

The Lake Lodge is opening tomorrow, and we participated in their shake-down for their cafeteria tonight. For the cost of a normal employee meal, we were able to get whatever we wanted. It was a good deal, and the food was good. In all the times we've been to Yellowstone over the years, we've never been inside the Lake Lodge... beautiful place; rustic, but classy. This shakedown allowed their food service staff to do a practice run before opening to customers tomorrow. After the meal, we had a marina staff meeting by the fireplace in the lobby area.

We are looking forward to the next 3 days off; hopefully the weather will cooperate and we can spend some time exploring the park.
