May 17, 2010

Many times I am asked about what the crew does when it rains like it is doing today…

The answer is that we do a lot!

Although every rain day is different, today offers a few good examples of what we do when it rains, so I took a few pictures.


The first thing we did was to have a staff meeting where we discussed equipment safety and training, upcoming events, and general turf maintenance topics.


Silvio is using a drill press fabricating a part for one of our maintenance carts. Rainy days are sometimes the only time our carts can be worked on.


Don, our new mechanic, and Pedro, one of our long time staffers, inspect the mowers on one of our rough units. Rainy days are great opportunities to do preventative maintenance on our equipment, such as the rough mowers.

We did other things today which I didn’t get a picture of – pumping the water out of the tunnels, putting trailer hitches on carts, doing building repairs, cleaning the equipment, organizing tools and inventories, and for Chris and I there were meetings and stacks of paper work to finish!

Rainy days may not be for mowing, but they give us a chance to catch up on a lot of other work that is just as important.
