gimmie dammit!   Yes Please!

Hi take a look at the close ups, the hose had a slow leak and cracked more when I picked up the hose, see the attached pictures. Did not get leak pictures since it was a sprinkler and was discovered at bedtime.

Noticed a wet spot on the ground near the hose connection, picked up the hose and it turned into a sprinkler.

Repaired the hose from the local hardware store, with a quick bicycle trip ~ 5 mins.

Doing the 5 scoops with the tractor loader at the 2021 SKIP event at Wheaton Labs Base camp. And not rolling the tractor down the hill. Stay seated!

Doing the 3 scoops with an Excavator, now where are the ice cream scoops, it was a hot one that day?

Fixing a small pot hole at the lab at the 2021 SKIP event.

Did 200 ft of trail maintenance, using just a sickle. Wow these things are fantastic. Took way less time than I expected it would. Forget the clippers and the loppers, the sickle just works.

Providing a combined  video to show the improvement, first minute is the before, while the second minute is the after.
