Note to self: Next time take Aleve BEFORE going over to rake.
I spent just under an hour at the CG, raking grass and rocks – lots of rocks. Within 10 minutes I was out of my jacket and sweating pretty good. I found a lot of pretty large rocks and did have fun trying to skim them across the asphalt. (Really, I did that just so I could give my back a break from bending and tugging). The only company I had was the lonely dog behind the big fence barking incessently and the two guys in the Code Compliance truck who parked and watched me for five minutes. I do believe they were laughing.
I managed to make three pretty good sized mounds and I must say, when I stood back to admire my handiwork, the area I raked was somewhat noticably smoother looking. When I got in my car to leave, I swear I could hear my muscles screaming at me, just that quickly. Oh man, tomorrow’s gonna be tough.
Note to Mr. Nickerson: I did not bag the mounds because a) they looked kinda nice in a rustic sort of way, b) I needed a shovel and forgot to bring one, c) even if I had bagged the mounds I wouldn’t have been able to lift them anywhere by myself, and d) there are only two bags left.
Can’t wait to go tomorrow!
Three pretty nice mounds of earth
And all the treasures the mounds held
