Hibe's 12 of 12: December 2010

Rainy, but warmer day. Here I am nursing a head cold and due to natures whim, I'm pretty much stuck having to work around the rain. We were doing so good through much of the fall weather wise. No real cold spells up until a little over a week ago. I let the time get past me while we were enjoying the last bit of Indian Summer. We hadn't shut down the irrigation systems or cut our winter cups (putting out 2 hole locations on each green). Well it finally rose well above freezing on Saturday giving us a chance to drain the irrigation out, but that was an all day affair. So that left me to tackle the winter cups on Sunday... with a cold... in the rain. Oh joy. Most of the morning I spent waiting for the rain to let up. Most of the afternoon I spent on soggy greens and playing with mud. Due to the fact that I don't want my camera gear to get wet, I don't have any pictures through the afternoon. All in all it made for a rather boring 12 of 12... much like this narrative. Here we go...

Oops, forgot, again, to give credit to Chad Darnell for starting and maintaining the 12 of 12. The end of the fifth year... I've been doing it for the past 3. ...Thanks Chad!

7:31am - Upper Darby, PA

Running late, but since I'll be the only one in this morning and it's raining, it's a non-issue. Looked out the back window and notice the nieghbors are sleeping in as well... It would be scary if they were up.

7:32am - Upper Darby

See, told you it was raining.

10:00am - Philadelphia (Roxborough), PA

Catching up on some paperwork while I wait for the rain to let up again. Despite the fact I am nursing a cold, I have to go outside and cut our winter cups while the ground is thawed. Scout is catching up on her sleep while do my paperwork.

10:17am - up on my desk

Lucky moves her daughter over in order to grab some desk space.

10:22am - still on my desk

Last cat picture... I promise.

11:18am - my work computer

I gave some money last year when Chad ran for Lance Armstrong's charity Live Strong. Since he was running today I decided to give again. I decided to give a little more this year so his total would come out $3,333.33. Knowing Chad through his blogs I figured it would weird him out a bit. ...Just having fun with you Chad.

4:48pm - Roxborough

All finished with work and getting ready to leave. Bought a new GPS... my first one. Nice size screen, but what I really like is the Blue Tooth cell phone hook up. I can hear it real well and everyone can hear me.
