Looks like rain....

Hey everyone. Today was another less eventful day at the ballpark. I arrived at work at 7:30 this morning, and today we had a bunch of random jobs to do. I worked on organizing and cleaning the room where we store the grass seed, along with organizing in the warehouse and grounds crew room. After lunch I did do some hand-watering on the infield grass and some hand-trimming of grass blades along the back of the infield dirt, AKA the skin. We had a lot of guys on hand at work today, so work that was usually handled by a few guys was spread out across 2 or 3 times the number of workers. The reason so many of us were at the ballpark is because we were, and still are, expecting afternoon/nighttime rainstorms in Boston, and I think we were considering pulling the tarp to cover the infield if necessary. At the end of the day, the decision was made to not cover the infield, and at 4 PM I headed home.

I think tonight I'm just going to hang out around the room, maybe grab some dinner somewhere or just cook something up here. Hopefully the rain will hold off, that'll definitely make work easier in the coming days in preparing for the homestand. I'm excited about having the team back in town, it's nice, and a lot more fun to work on something and have your work directly played on by the team instead of waiting a while. Also, there's a certain atmosphere around the ballpark and city when the team is in town, it makes things a lot more fun as well.

Thanks for checking in with me, I'll be back at work at 7:30 AM tomorrow, got to work in getting the field ready for the Red Sox and Rangers to play on Friday night. Have a great night!
