Chic just mentioned that he'd plugged and seeded the field once again.  That's kewl for sure, but he forgot to mention something that just might be worth more in the long run. 
  
 He also scraped the road.   
  
 The last couple of weeks weather combined with the heavier traffic to cause quite a few problems all along the back section of our road.  The gravel was mashed into the mud and a section had washboarded pretty bad.  Without the means of scraping it, most clubs would wind up just buying gravel.  Most people think the gravel is gone, and unless it's uncovered, it is.     
  
 That scraping is worth more than you can imagine not just because it saves buying gravel more often.  It's shaping the road better each time it's done.  Beyond just knocking down the banked turn the moble home people are cutting in front of their house, look at how flat the last turn into the field is now.  It's gotten flatter each scraping.  And of course, the washboard before the moble home is gone too. 
  
 The man has done us a real piece of work.  It's saving us money and making the whole strip better.

BTW, I think this is the 2nd time he's done it without fanfare.
