We got up at 6:45 and were at the club by 7:15. I listened to Dave give the kids their marching orders and then I went out to check the two flurry stands. The outgoing one was fine, but the incoming one had a dead machine. I went out and figured out that the controller wire was loose. So I fixed it.
By that time it was time to start. Dave had 4 kids working, so he didn't need any more field help. We were short trappers, so I ended up being a trapper all day. It wasn't much fun. There was no chair, so I stood for both rotations. I also had no Mojo stick, so I had to pick up all of the hulls by hand. By then end of the day my back, which hurt from yesterday, was killing me. At least the weather was cloudy and pleasant.
I did manage to get lunch and dinner, so the shoot was a success from that point of view. When it was over Ellen and I went home. I wasn't part of the field crew, so I didn't feel the need to be part of the cleanup/take down.
The evening was surfing followed by an early bedtime. We were both tired.
