It’s cool out
I was thinking of going to Monte Rio to kayak today, but a little rain shower came in while I was thinking about it. I took some stuff out to my car to get ready to go, but the little shower was a real cold one and it was cold after it stopped.
I went outside a couple times to think about going kayaking, but each time I came back in the house to get warm.
Too many people out anyway
With the holiday on, I finally decided to just stay home were I could get warm. There were likely people out everywhere today, so the best bet was to do something at home.
Repairing the driveway
I had some driveway repairs to make so I thought this would be a good day to accomplish that.
The driveway goes under this redwood tree.![]()
Here’s another view of the redwood tree and the driveway that goes by it were I’m going to do some work. The sun finally came out and warmed things up a bit too.![]()
There’s some low spots in the road that fill with water when it rains and they are getting deeper, so I want to fill them up with some rocky gravel.![]()
Only ten thousand dollars for this pile of rock
I plan to use the rock from the 300 foot deep well that didn’t have any water. Here’s the pile of rock from the well drilling. All I have to do is load it in the wheelbarrow.![]()
It took more loads than I thought it would, about eight of them. I spread the rock out in the low spots.![]()
Rolled with the golf cart
It looked like a roller would be nice, so I went over and borrowed my brother’s golf cart as it’s real heavy with all the batteries in it and rolled it out.![]()
The cat followed me over with the golf cart and supervised while I worked. Cats aren’t so dumb. :O) ![]()
I sprinkled some redwood leaves on the new rock and it disappeared and looks like this.![]()
Another spot to repair
I noticed this other spot when I got the golf cart so I fixed this one up too.![]()
A couple loads of rock filled these one up.![]()
I filled a couple other small ones up and that pretty much beat me so I took it easy for the rest of the day, mostly sitting around enjoying the yard.
And that was my day.
