An Excuse for Grown-ups to Play in the MUD!

Trip #26 was a smashing success! 

We rock 'n stuff.


It was 100F+ with no wind, no shade and little cloud cover, but we got busy.  Bitey flies be damned.


Here's where we started on Saturday morning:

 Penta-corral full of bottles and cans
Before:

After:

Almost totally empty!!!

Berm Wall

Before:

 

After:

Almost 5 Feet high!

Great success!


By the numbers, we used:
200 pounds of portland cement
45 gallons of water in the wall (plus 5 gallons for drinking)
3 pair kitchen gloves
and a boatload of bottles!


Other stuff:

The wife got to handpaint the hexapod :)

We took a walk up to the promitory for some nature and perspective.

That's the domestead:

Lichen

We also took a peek at the neighbors for a moment:  

We seem to do much better when we have a specific goal and decide to only work on that one goal while we're out there.  We get more done, and we feel more accomplished in the end, making our Wa much happier.  Lesson learned.

Still a lot to be done, but we're finally making visible progress.
