And waaaah! Didn't get the leg show from Pedro. Not that I mind them concentrating on his face. Still it would have been nice. The main guy had nice legs too and saw more of his.
Pedro's character is dead where I left off last night and they killed Derek Jacobi's character too. Though he had less to do this time. But still.

Sorry for the spoilers. So if you haven't seen it or don't ignore this post.

Hehe... No worries about spoilers for me. I can't imagine any scenario where I watch Gladiator II and pay any attention to it. I honestly can't believe they didn't show off Pedro's legs in the movie.

I gave you a happy early birthday, but now I'll give you a happy late birthday.


Finally going back outside to work today. We still had some rain early in the morning yesterday, so I didn't go out in the slop. It's going to be 87 degrees today, with 3 more in the 80's and that's it for the toasty weather this year around here. Gotta make the most of the time I have left.

That damn mole didn't take a break after I quit on last Saturday. For a full week he's been ripping up that sandpit that I had leveled out last week. He still doesn't appear to have gotten into stuff that I've finished, although I'm a little worried about behind the garage. It's hard to really tell though because I've got about 5,000lbs of rock stacked up on top of it so I won't know until I start filling in the main sand pit later next week after I get all the other stuff done.

Going to trench out the foundation on the back and side of the house first so I can scrub and rinse it before putting on the tar. After that, I'm going to work on the fencing to try to keep the mole out of the 2nd half of the main sand pit. At least so far, it doesn't look like he's been able to get in and damage anything other than possibly the back of the garage slab.

My old man asked me what do I do if I trap him in the sand pit. I laughed and said that he can go above ground and just dig a hole outside of it. But I do wish I had been able to build those underground fences for the sand pit before the week long rain made its way in here. It would be nice to be able to verify he couldn't do any damage in there over the last 6 days before putting down stone.

There's really only two fences I need to put down to keep him out of that pit though. I'm going to try to get those done along with 1 coat of tar today. There are still a few more fences I want to make inside of that sand pit too as double protection around the porch and the side of the house foundation, and I do want to allow enough dry time for the tar to apply a 2nd coat like I did everywhere else, so I should have a few days time to see if I'm successfully keeping him out or not.

Gotta start getting up earlier. Sun is going down way too quick these days.

--------------------------------------------------

For all that I've blessed, and all that I've wronged. In dreams until my death, I will wander on.

Nope, no real leg on Pedro but lots of face shots which like I said I could more than live with. The movie was good and different from Russell's Gladiator. Going to get a copy but not sure if my birthday or Christmas.

Nice.

Oooh, you get dry and we get rain all weekend, even on my birthday. Waaah. S'no fun.

Yeah. Nothing but rain for a full week now that really put me behind on my work. We were only supposed to get 1.5 days of rain, but it turned into 6.5 days. But it got so hot again that even with all that rain the sand was dry on top so I didn't get too messy today until the tar came out.

Sorry about the mole. But I doubt they can get through rock. Dirt and sand would be nothing to the critters.

Yeah it is too bad that you couldn't have put that fence down deeper with the wire. Is the chicken wire holes really small because if they are too big a mole could get through easily. Just my thought.

---

They're strong, but I doubt they're made for lifting a bunch of river rock to get below it. I think their strength lies when they're underground and they wouldn't have the leverage to lift those rocks out of the way when they're top side.

I still couldn't tell for sure if it got up under the rock I put behind the garage, but closer inspection on both sides leads me to believe that it actually couldn't even though it REALLY was trying to. I won't know for sure until I remove that rock, but at both ends where I blocked it off it looks like the earth wasn't displaced inside of that.

It's not really chicken wire. I just call it that. It is fairly rigid metal, and it's got 1/2" by 1/2" squares. It's quite a bit more expensive than chicken wire, actually, but I knew if I did that chicken wire it wouldn't be protecting anything. I don't think that moles can scrunch themselves down like mice can when they get under doorways because their entire existence is much different than a mouse's. If it was able to get that small to get between the 1/2" holes, they haven't figured out how to do it yet. The only time I've had a mole get past where I wanted it to go was when I didn't make a fence deep enough on the far side of the garage. So far it looks good.

Well, I hope you can keep the mole from doing too much or any more damage to all your work.

Me too. Thanks.

Tell me about the sun setting too early. After 6pm and I have to turn on a light or it starts to get too dingy in here.
