summer workout

[shooter]

As long as it's dry, working the inlet to the back line.  Last year got the outlet so it quits flooding the yard, mostly
So far 2ft wide, 16" deep, 25ft long.  3ft of progress is a good day since I have 12 other things going!

You digging that by hand with a shovel? 

[shooter]

 
yep!!
black peat and gray clay all the way!!
the drought finally broke, we're over 8" in 7 days and more on the way. 
I'm building a deck to placate the insurance gods.
Laying tile for the back-up wood stove
I'm ready to go back to paying work, this retirement thing is hard work!!

Uhh, yeah! 

How in the hell did I have the time to work anyway?   My days are booked solid.

We're coming up on 5" in 30 hrs on top of the fore mentioned
system is working;  the inlet "main channel" is the darker water, left
the spillover goes in a relief ditch, right

Looks like frog heaven.
