CATS Trail Project Reports

I need a weather watcher for the project areas. At 230pm it was raining cats and dogs with 27mph winds at my house which is only about 3 miles from the worksite.

Though I am here to say (in a separate email soon) that temps over 90+ at  3pm  on our work evenings are going to be delayed by one hour to  4 pm  to get past the hottest part of the day. Four pm is about the hottest around here, but we can work into it better I reckon. So without me going out with an email blast at the last minute – remember to come later by one hour if the temperature is hotter than 90° F…. No skitos and lots of teeny tiny toads all over the place in the mud flats caused by the lake pulling back its shoreline. Seems the lake is getting some water pulled out. No worries – we tried not to step o
