Man, another Monday.
Jokes! Memorial day means missing Monday ;’(, but heck did our Tuesday
start like one. As we walked into our
familiar shed, we were greeted by the cold hand of adversity. His raspy voice slowly whispered, “Bro, you
need some batteries for you GPS.” Visibly shaken, but still firm, we raced over
George Zeiger drive to the nearby lithium oasis of Alex Stotter’s house. The hunt for AAs was moderate and the hunt for
AAAs was incredibly successful. And so,
we ventured backs with spirits renewed.
But Alas! Who was it that greeted us again? None other than wily
adversity himself. Once again, a ghastly
whisper came forth, “Yo, dude, you also need more BEHI sheets.” Classic adversity not telling us that
before. That dude’s kind of a jerk. Graham let out a few salty sailor words that
T&J would not be especially proud of.
We got the sheets nonetheless. Adversity aside, nothing can stop
us! We finished BEHI on the remainder of
Euclid Creek with no time to spare. We
had to chug over to Gates Mills (Chesterland) to watch the Hawken boys tennis
team demolish the Preppers!
Straight out of Wednesday! Crazy morning meeting between Dr.
Connie “All-time Sensei” Hausman and Jedi Master Jack Breisch with the gang
called botanists with attitude.
Finally! There is proof that our project is real, and we are not playing
jungle croquet in the badlands of Beachwood.
Successful meeting behind us, we took to the field. We carried our enclosures to the spots we
found before, only to find that some of the enclosures that we made early in
the process were in similar shape to Max Pollock’s cartilage-lacking knees
after the 5.25 mile Blossom run: very shaken up, but still functional enough to
keep out the deer/beat the Preppers after a little bit of tender loving
care. And thus we truly began the tree
repopulation research leg of the project.
Keep Truckin’.
