back in the hole

Sooner or later, lots of little holes will add up to one big hole.  45,65,41,0,W

living on a rock...

Found almost half of the hole today.  I forgot how much fun this is (NOT).  At least it wasn't 110° all day.  Really wasn't too awful - took my time to get this far - 4 1/2 hours.

My friend Ron Dame sent me this link today.  www.suncalc.net  Brilliant site - shows the sun's angle for any location...for all seasons using google maps.

looking for a hole

Using just a broom, I found where the hole is supposed to be.  I'm afraid I will have to use my hammer drill, pry bar, and shovel to find the hole for the solar panel mounting post.  54,66,36,0,B

eke, a hole...

Eked out 8 more holes from the ailing hammer drill this morning...just enough to hit bottom of hole 3.  Cut, drilled, prepped, planted, plumbed and ready to pour tomorrow morning.  95,105,74,0,B

hole number 3...

3 hours drilling and chipping in the shade this morning and almost done with hole #3.  Got some nice big chunks out of this one.  96,107,75,0,B

hole in one (day)

No distractions today - tricked myself into finishing hole #2.   Worked the 2 shade shifts.  93,108,72,0,W

Diggin for oil...

Was able to work layer 4 of the battery house in to today's schedule between drizzles. Had to skimp on the portland cement in each mix to finish up. The hole I have been digging my clay out of is getting deeper and deeper - hoping to find 1. water 2. oil 3. dinosaur bones. Lots of sun this afternoon so took a run in the dune buggy to check the road. All pretty good except for the worst spot that still keeps me from civilization.

Just as I was doing my dinner dishes I notice a major downfall coming from the south. Just as I finished closing everything down it started to rain at 6:15 PM. Had white out conditions with super heavy rain and wind for about 5 minutes. 15 minutes and .21" of rain later it was sunny again. So much for my almost dry road...Good news is, hurricane Ike is planning on missing us here. Bad new is, someone else is going to feel the brunt of it.
