July 2009 12 of 12 Playing in the Mud

Credit for the "12 of 12" goes to Chad Darnell.



Today Promised to be just another long day at work, but ended up being much longer than I wanted.



4:41 am - Upper Darby, PA

We had a big downpour over night. It ended just a ittle while ago.



5:18 am - Roxborough/Philadelphia, PA

Got to have my Joe.



6:27 am - On the golf course

Everytime we get a bit of rain this cart path completely washes out... yes this is a cart path. It'll take me the better part of an hour to fix it.





8:02 am

Number 11 green



11:30 am Delessandro's

I never was all that big on cheesesteaks until I tried one of these. People from all over the country rave about these. I have the good fortune of now working right next to the restuarant. The seating area isn't any bigger than a small living room. That's why most get them to go. You'll be getting more pics as the months go by.


1:27 pm

This is Abigail. Since there is a main access to the bike and walking trails that runs right trough the course, people walk their dogs through the course all day long. Abby belongs to one of our rangers.


1:38 pm

One of our banners blowing in the wind


1:41 pm

...and so the trouble begins. Found this leak on the 16th hole.



2:06 pm

Got to climb down and shut off the water.



3:27 pm

After some digging, I finally find a pipe. I started where I saw the water bubbling up at the point nearest to the lens. I found the pipe where the shovel is. Little did I know that wasn't the right one.


6:57 pm

Looking back up the 7th fairway on my way home.


7:38 pm - Upper Darby

Looking out my window I see the neighbors on their lawn. They're not all that friendly, but at least they're quiet.

Here's what took me so long to post my pics. I'll test it tomorrow after the fix has cured.

Glad to see your pictures. I wondered where you were, and now I know. Pretty pictures, as usual. I just love golf courses...love the early morning dew, the smell, the splat of the sprinklers. See you next month.

Cool photos, they make me miss the grass, real dirt, and tress up North. Not that I mind the warmth of Florida but photos like yours make me nostalgic for the summers of childhood.
