yard and garden. hauled and spread another 55 wheelbarrow loads of mulch, moved a couple very heavy landscaping rocks, cut and hauled more branches and weeds.

Event: ICO Annual Paddle-O
 

Eagle Creek Canoe O meet. 4 hour score course; 18 of 25 controls, scoring 37 of 46 possible points. Partnered with Brennan Hertel. Mostly canoeing with about an hour of running / walking. Sunny and pleasant temperatures, light to moderate winds early on, that eased off as the day went on. We missed the mass start by a few minutes, due to helping the threesome below back to shore after their first tipping episode, which happened as teams were lining up for the start.

Mpage, Skyler, and Jordan tipped 3 times but still got a few controls, ending up with an unreadable dissolved map.

Priscilla and Salinda started out struggling to control their canoe, but soon became master paddlers, getting several controls and covering a lot of the lake.

Event: CNYO Regaine - Letchworth State Park East
 

Shovel and wheelbarrow. Moved and spread 30 loads of mulch.

Yard and garden. Chainsaw - cut down several dead ash trees and a honeysuckle bush, and a couple other low hanging branches. Then hauling to burn pile. Dug out an ash tree stump, transplanted a baby walnut tree.

Assisted by Brennan. Cleared trails at Union County. Mix of lopping, dragging off cut branches (left from chainsaw work a couple days ago) and weedeater.

Yard and garden. Weedeater, digging, etc.

Yard and garden. Shovel, pulaski, loppers, a couple minutes of chainsaw. Wheelbarrow and hauling branches to brush pile and burn pile. Cut and dug out two bushes that had gotten too big, transplanted a few plants and a small tree, trimmed lots of low hanging tree branches.

Harbin. Went looking for two controls that were stolen at the Harbin meet two weeks ago. Found one in the first five minutes, tossed in a copse only a few dozen meters from its original location. Searched extensively for the second and finally found it, within 20 meters of its original location, but it had been thrown up on top of the copse and was barely visible from only one angle. Took a few minutes to find a branch long enough and sturdy enough to hook it and bring it back down to earth.

Bottom line, both controls successfully recovered.
