100 day war begins, day one

The day started off really well, no break downs or major issues through lunch.  However, right after lunch, off to the southeast, you could see it coming.  Calls went out over the radios, people were redeployed to tasks that required immediate attention, but all the efforts were in vain as the rain was not to be held back.  Right at about 1:30 the rain came down very hard for a short burst of a few minutes, just big enough to screw up part 2 of the day's plan...the clean up process. During aerification week you want the weather to be as hot and dry as you can get.  The heat and dry conditions allow all the materials extracted during the aerification process to thoroughly dry out and be easily cleaned up.  As of the posting of this update, all aerifying and verti-cutting has been stopped for the day (it's only 2 & we were planning on staying until 5).  Because of the weather, we will have completed about half of the days expected work load.
