Course set-check-pick 2:35:00 [3]
Setting out the remaining 35 of 47 controls at Miami Univ Middletown. Meant to arrive twenty min before sunrise (sunrise would have been okay), but got there 20 minutes after sunrise and, as normal, everything just took longer than expected.
Got everything out by myself, except for one SI box that I didn't snap in when I was placing the stand---David Waller did that one.
The GPS track, again is partial---I started it after my first loop, and the battery was low very early on.
Almost didn't put water out at 45; and had several comments about how nice it was for people on the course.
I had a lot of legs that went across the grain of the trails, and apparently going around just wasn't tempting enough, so I got some complaints about the honeysuckle. I was more worried than I normally am about courses. I was stretching my comfort zone, and I wasn't sure the courses would go over well. A lot of people seemed to like them. A few complaints about the green, but even those seemed to like the course overall.
I'd had about 3 or 4 hours of sleep (I honestly can't remember), so I got home and fell asleep in a chair---then got up at 1am and went to bed.
A guy I work with had a business trip last week---to Honolulu. I saw his photos today (Tuesday), and I need to plan a trip somewhere really nice. Tahoe in January sounds perfect, but I don't think it's going to happen.

Course set-check-pick 1:10:00 [2]
Seventy minutes quickly checking several points for Sunday's event, and putting out 12 controls. (The GPS track is very little of what I did, and I forgot to stop it.) I needed to spend more time, but I was running out of time to print maps. It's not good when you're up til 4am finalizing courses in Condes and then you sleep in and get woken up by a call that your aunt got moved from one hospital to the another. (She seems to be doing well, but the doctors don't know what's wrong. It is gastro-esophageal, and she can't keep food down. Her last meal was Thanksgiving.)
I got to Oxcopy at 420pm, and basically was done by 540pm. I was actually there until 610, though, because my last print job, the clue sheets wouldn't spool for some reason. I didn't hold anyone up, luckily. Kinda cutting it close, though.
Went from Oxford to my nephew's. Watch some new episodes of Beavis and Butthead (OMG. Wow.), and a show from the UK called, "The In-betweeners". Vulgar, but funny, and very slightly touching.
