The flood clean-up goes on...

The clean-up goes on.

We have now had two floods, but the second only affected
us emotionally, no damage. It wasn't as big as the one
on Wednesday. There were warnings on Saturday, but no
flood.

Yesterday, Bill from Gold Hill came down and spent the
morning hauling mud out of Robert's shop. Paul from
the DSES group also was there all morning and most of
the afternoon. Paul is involved with a group who
is studying the rain fall patterns nationally and there
was no rain gauge in this area. Now we have one. We
also have a couple of hail pads. Those take me back
to the NCAR days.

Viki spent the afternoon cleaning the Prius. It is
ready to go again!

Last evening Carl, Martha and Gabby brought up pizza
and ice cream. Viki stayed and we all enjoyed a
relaxing evening together. That was nice.

Connie's house is getting into shape. When it is
finished she'll have the joy of unpacking, but
next weekend she is planning to come here and lend
a hand as are Carl and Gabby. Martha has her
annual dance weekend so won't be joining the crew.

Today, Ecoscape Co. is here in force donating time
to the flood victims. They are working on the
barn. The county is bringing up a dumpster some
time today! All of these are very helpful.

Robert reports that the Vermillion's driveway
which is also drainage for a gulch is now a
mini, but still Grand Canyon instead of road!
I hope to get up there today.
