RAIN, RAIN, RAIN!

WELL!!!! IT RAINED!!!! That is good news because the dirt has been so dry lately that when it rains it just soaks up the water and is dust dry the next day. It actually poured all night and most of the next day. I went out today and did some "clean up" with the dirt that had fallen off of each take off and landing, then put that dirt on the take off of most jumps. I finished building up a landing and left. I went back to get a shovel to go do some work at another little place that I have been wantin to fix up and found out that the top layer of dirt that put on everything was drying out already. So I decided to stay and pack all of the work that I had done earlier.

Everything looks 10 times better now because there isn't loose dirt laying around each jump. Tomorrow when the pits dry up a little I think I will go scrape them out and make everything a little steeper and deeper. My buddy Glen helped a little today and I told him how I need some more carpet to put over the jumps when I leave so they don't dry out and fall apart. So I take him home and he shows me all of the carpet out of his house that is laying in his garage and says he'll help me take it out there tomorrow! This will help cut down on maintenance and help keep everything nice and smooth!

Pics when I remember to take the camera with me. Maybe tomorrow or the next day, but sometime soon.
