Summary: Standard field work, a little rain last week, started upgrading fence to barbed wire.

Vaira
2014-09-30

I arrived with Siyan about 9:30. It was clear, sunny and hot with a nice breeze that seemed to change direction over the day. It rained last week and there was a little mud in the water hole. The ground felt less brittle, but still dry. The trees still look pretty good, but the rain might have just knocked off the brown leaves.

Siyan did the standard field work while I worked on upgrading the fence. I added braces to the corner posts with new T-posts and Wedge-Lok hardware. I removed the electric wires and started running five strands of barbed wire at 8” spacing. I got the bottom, middle and top strands run before I ran out of time and steam.

I took Siyan to Tonzi part way through and brought back some boardwalks to raise the solar panels out of the dirt.
