BevLive: too much humility

I'm sure there is a happy camper here, but it's not mine. The high point of the day here was Sue and Maid getting the first pen of the trial. Alas, the rest of their run wasn't as good as their finish and they missed the top 5 cut.

Amanda and Ethel had a great run up to the pen where age, heat and foolish sheep got the best of Ethel's normally good temper and she gripped for a DQ.

Hemp needed two redirects on his outrun but at least he got himself up there. Of course the trip down the hill got off to a bit of a chase and the sheep got very pissed at him. By the time we got halfway to the first drive gate they had had enough and decided they would rather fight than run.Hemp couldn't figure out how to make them go when they didn't want to. A grip brought a DQ just about the time I had gotten disgusted with the whole thing and was walking off any way.

The morning running was very rough. As it got hotter and hotter the sheep seemed to get better. The winning run for the first go around came on the last run with Linda Tesdahl and Jaffe with an 83 with no pen.

Tomorrow Amanda and I both run again. I sure hope we do better. Too much humility is bad for the spirit.
