Thanks to everyone who came out.
CONDITIONS
Saturday was mostly cloudy with a little 5 min sprinkle. The rain completely missed and went around us. Temp was in the low 60s & perfect for disc golf.
Sunday was mostly cloudy with some misty rain in the morning. It cleared up quickly and the sun came out. Again the rain completely missed and went around us. Temp was in the mid 60s & perfect for disc golf.

See You Next Year,
Jesse
First I had to chuckle at the physical part of work. It reminded me of my framing days, a lot of thinking goes into framing a house. Physical is certaintly a part, but you need to have a good mind. I eat, sleep, drink Channahon & then I apply it. I mentioned in other post the brain storming that goes on. Thanks for the nice words Jesse.
Now about the help it, I tried throughout the year to post thanks. There was a Saturday morning that we picked up four trees from Green Glen. Thor was a big part of that because he had the trailer, & Randy Brummer picked them up. Carbo helped a few morning in the spring with tree rings. Keep in mind it's special when I ask for help. I had help one year painting the 10 meter circles, never again will I ask for help doing that without watching. Although many of the details are not noticed the overall picture looks good. As an example I dead headed the black eyed susan & cone flowers on #8's tee & pulled weeds. I know I mentioned this on another post, Shawn Harmon hauled the bed edger for me. Much is really not noticed, like pruning the paths for a natural canopy, or killing the broad leafs inside the 10 meter circle. Like I said eat, sleep, & drink, & next year starts next week. I really try to give kudos, but things are a blur & I forget.
Soooo, Thor, Randy, & Carbo gave of their time. Kevin Macuiba with watering the new sod & seed, he's a park employee. I also need to mention Brian let me use the cart, after park hours, so I was able to spread chips until dark.
