     Whew!! Hasn’t the weather turned hot?  Last Monday began at the courthouse and the shop.  Then I went to flag for pipes on Grace Loop Road, looking at other roads in the area.  After returning to Monticello, I helped move a truck from Florence Road to the shop. 
     Office work at the courthouse filled the rest of the morning!! 
     After lunch I checked part of Midway Route before returning to office work at the courthouse for the rest of the day.
     Tuesday began as usual.  Then I helped move a truck from Selma to Baxter. 
     Returning to Monticello, I attended the Safe Schools board meeting before going back to the courthouse for office work. 
     After lunch I checked James Brown Lane and Dickson Road.  Office tasks completed the day. 
     Wednesday morning I helped move a truck from the shop to Selma and another from Plantersville Road to Hwy 133. Office work filled the rest of the morning. 
     At noon I attended the monthly MEDC meeting.  Afterwards I helped move a truck from Sanderlin Road to Barkada/ Hwy 133. 
     Office work, calls and visitors finished the day.
     Thursday everyone from the shop was tied up on the roads so I carried diesel to one grader on Pleasant Springs Road and to the bushhog tractor on Hwy133/Barkada Road.
Then I checked on the progress of the project near the school.
     I was busy in the office the rest of the morning.  At noon I spoke to the Lions Club about cellulosic fuels. 
     A trip to the shop and office chores completed the day. 
     Friday began as usual.  Then I returned to Grace Loop Road to check the newly-installed pipes.  I also checked Buddy Beaty Road, Collins-Cominto Road, S. 16th Section Road and others in the area. 
     Courthouse activities filled the rest of the day.
     Saturday I was called out to check about an ATV cutting do-nuts in a road.  This is a no-no.  ATVs are off-road vehicles.

     Please remember the mosquito dunks.  Please remember, too, that our roads are not for race tracks or ATVers.  There have been reports of four-wheelers cutting do-nuts on the roads.  The sheriff and I were called out Saturday because of this.  It will not be tolerated.  It tears up the road and is not helpful to anyone. 
     Have a great week!!
