Notes:

  • Rain, rain, rain.
  • Chris to Poocham AM to finish prep for landlord review, Cass chores at yurt, regroup/assess weather upon return
  • Rain stopped and sky seemed much clearer, got prepped and did footing work. Worked later than scheduled to get third footing done.
  • Rare relax n watch Simpsons. Shouldn't have watched third episode though... Got to bed too late by time we had coordinated and such afterwards.
