A man can't just sit around...

Monday morning at the office involved a piece of rental equipment called a "dingo." It worked like our heavy bobcat, but since it is smaller and has tracks to distribute its weight, we felt it the better choice to begin installing line posts.

Here's a challenge for you dear reader. What's different about this picture than all the other pictures you've seen up to this point in the process?

Give up? It's the short sleeve t-shirts. Yes, finally we were blessed with a beautiful warm and not too windy day in which to work. We did apply sunscreen but all of us suffered a touch of sunburn by day's end. But after this winter, we didn't care. It felt GREAT.
With the dingo and a bit of perseverence, we completed line posts for 6 rows. In case you wondered, that 78 posts sunk in one day. Only 130 to go! (Not counting the 16 telephone pole-like endposts that go in at an angle on the south end.)

Too tired for words...















Tomorrow, we begin again...
