forget about it

So after the last post I went out to see what kind of "damage" the rain had done. It was a slop fest getting to the river. This gave me happy thoughts. However, once I got to the tree line and started my hike back there it was wet, but not very wet. I got out the shovel and was checking to see how far down the water had soaked. It was moist for about 2 inches......and then DRY! It did get the much needed water on the jumps though, so that made some clean up work very, very easy.

I shaved out a lip and presoaked it so I could pack it the next day. Well, last night I realized that I never went back. Instead of going back to finish packing the lip I went and played 18 holes of golf. So besides shaving a lip out I cleaned up all of the pits and shaved them a little deeper as well. The big event of the day was removing the "tree" that had begun to grow up out of a landing. I'm not sure how the roots got so thick so quick without any rain, but it did. So this put a hole in a landing that I had to patch up.

Summer school started yesterday, so that means that I will have even less time to even think about trying to get out there if the weather ever cools down. It's so hot and dry that the builder of our house just told me that we will not have any grass when we move in due to the lack of rain. They are going to leave the dirt and put the grass in when we get some rain.

Also, I think Pete will be back in a month. That will get me back out there for sure.
