I had to come to San Antonio for a few days to pick some of this giant okra crop this year. I have never grown okra this tall.
                                                           Current Activities

- Assist with Pest control in opening and closing of doors - sending a note to owners regarding keys and codes to entry doors - one of the owners advised us to get in using an old credit card. Need to reschedule for units that did not get sprayed.

- Coordinated with Tony who is painting the railings on the 400 building - terminated him on the 4th day for performance not promised.

- Monitored the 501 stucco project with Randy Edwards.

- B&R changed out the photo cell for the pier lights with a re-adjustable one to eliminate if the cause of the pier lights not coming on is a faulty cell.  If that doesn't work, they believe the flood light is causing it to malfunction and will move the cell else where.
 
- Requested for all management signs to be taken down within the gate areas. All have done so except for KBM.  Linda from KBM said she spoke with owners and said it was up to them on whether to have signs in the window or not. 

- Contacted Tel Hailey regarding the grass being cut - he is short handed and said he will be out on Tuesday to cut it.  I notified Nick to let him know that Tel has not cut the lawn and he shouldn't be issuing a check.

- Replaced a broken sewer pipe along the driveway

- Followed up with GLO to make sure that the pier project enhancement is on School Land Board October agenda

This weeks agenda
- Continue to monitor the foundation project
- Follow up with barge contractors regarding breakwater
- Start prepping for painting the railings on 400 building

We had lift station plumbing problems last week. The project got to be more than Lina and Jerry could handle so the crew from the foundation project took over and got the tough project completed.
A number of oversized reds have moved into our marina and mitigation site. Here Ken(606) shows a 34 inch red had caught and released back for someone else to catch later.

Lina and Jerry had their hands full today with plumbing problems. Lina does know how to use a shovel.

Work began this week on replacing some of the stucco with hardiplank. This end of 501 shows how rotten the plywood is behind the stucco. If this project goes well, the end of 601 will be done next.

Here are some things being worked on.

- Went over with Area Foundation the confirmed start date, what parking areas is needed near the 500 building, where they are starting first - 508 side, removal of existing cardboard over sonotubes - Start date is confirmed 09/14/2016

Our Labor Day guests got to see what happens when we have a high tide and a little wind comes up. The last picture even shows tiny white caps on the water on the beach. It has been pretty impossible to keep sand on our beach this year.

Last evening I had a fox come up on my deck looking for crumbs to eat. When he didn't find any, he went over to 108 and checked that deck for any food.

I did hear of two keeper trout and one flounder being caught in the mitigation site this weekend. That could be a good sign.
