Drainage pipe cleared

 I went over to Cathryn & Bryan's this morning to finish clearing the drainage pipe opening. It doesn't look like much of a hole from the road.

 I uncovered the opening last week, but there was a lot of rock debris in the mouth of the pipe and I couldn't get it out with the shovel alone.

 Today, I also took the pick with me to help convince the rocks to break up and move. While they didn't break, it got them to shift and move so I could get to the edges and leverage them out.

The hole is deeper than it looked like it was, about 5 ft. to the bottom of the pipe. It should drain a lot better now.

Lake yesterday, cutting firewood today

  

Yesterday, Heather and I went to Grayson Lake for some fishing. We had a blast. I went for a swim at one of the waterfalls before we came back home. The falls were still ice cold.

Today was a working day. This limb came down at Cathryn's during one of the spring storms. Our best guess is sycamore for the wood type, but we're not really sure.

 My little workhorse was there to help pull the limb up out of the ditch it ended up in. Our plan worked very well and made it a lot easier to get it all cut up.

 Lisa and Jim got a load of firewood out of it. They still have a rack or two left to fill up.

Everything all loaded up and ready to head back home.
