An active day, although not sure how much "training" involved. Got up at 2:30, just because I couldn't sleep any more. Not such a tragedy, though, since I had gone to bed at 8.
A fine round of golf with PG and my neighbor Chris, noteworthy for hitting 0 fairways with my driver. Or I should say, 0 of the ones I was aiming at. I did hit a few other ones. Still, with some judicious scrambling had half a dozen pars, but a trip to the driving range is certainly overdue.
Then after a short nap in the car while Chris drove home, hiked down to the beaver pond with Rhonda and the dogs, dealt with a few pent up phone calls, and then spent about an hour and a half of intensive laurel wrangling in the vicinity of the big rock. WCOC summer meeting sprinters will know the place.
When enough laurel gets whacked back to see the terrain, it is surprisingly nice around there. It is a pretty different experience from making the trail in the back this summer. When we hacked out the trail, laurel was about 98% of the ground cover, and cutting it back left bare ground. By the big rock there are a lot of other things growing, including saplings and a lot of blueberry. I suspect that this work will promote the interests of the blueberry, but I consider that preferable to laurel so I am determined to push on.
If I keep this up, I may become the second most prolific laurel wrangler in the o community. Or perhaps I already am. I'd have a long way to go to get to the top, though.
