This Week at Grand Lake - May 13, 2024

Stormy Monday

Good Stormy Monday Morning!

I think all that clean livin’ is paying off, because we had a BEE YOU TEE FULL weekend, and are now following that up with a stormy Monday morning.

Feels like it is often the other way around, with a poopy weather weekend followed by beautiful weather during the week - so, yea, we’ll take it!

Speaking of weather and weekends… early look says upper 80s next weekend. You ready for summer?

Also, I appreciate all the responses in last week’s poll, and if you replied and said you’d like to only receive the Friday emails (well over 90% of you said you want to receive both - awesome!), I don’t have that set up, yet.

Sorry about that, so you are getting today’s email. But I’ll get it dialed in.

And, finally, THANK YOU to all of you who take the time to read these emails.

Whether you are sitting in your nook at the lake with a coffee reading this, or in your office in Grove, OKC, Tulsa, Wichita, KC or beyond (hello Omaha!!), or just catching up on things during your busy day - I appreciate YOU.

And now, here is what you need to know for the week ahead at Grand Lake!
