May try to get some new sets in tomorrow on some clear areas where it blew off, gonna be mud dogs either way. Failure leads to learning, learning leads to improvement.

The primary culprits for this seem to be a combination of work schedule, family obligations working against me in combination with our weather situation. So, in other words...the usual.
