After breakfast and saying goodbye to Liz and Luke I drove p to the Mountain. I met Dillon and his buddy “Rat” at the job site and loaded up some logs, and talked with Rat about a little backhoe work. I had to run to the cottage but returned and got to work about 10:40. It was a muddy mess but I still got a lot of work done. Branches hauled to the burned pile, stumps as well, more logs cut, and some topsoil graded off. The mud kept me from doing everything I wanted to, and I’m not sure if tomorrow will be any better. I took an afternoon break and went to the Goat Market for a drink. When I returned there was a deer at the first lot. I worked until about seven and was turning onto the highway next to the Goat Market when I saw serious clouds. They reminded me of the “Derecho” in Columbia last year and I was a little nervous. I didn’t even know it was supposed to rain. The wind and rain really picked up, but it didn’t last terribly long. I watched an episode of Magnum PI on my phone and did a little internet surfing this evening. Hopefully the rain won’s make too much more of a mess but I’m not confident.
