Here’s a notice from the San Francisco Public Utilities Commission that just arrived today:
NTK Construction, the contractor for the San Francisco Public Utilities Commission (SFPUC) Mt Davidson tank, pipeline and pump station project, will begin a control survey of the pipeline alignment on Mt Davidson during the week of July 14th, with a duration of approximately five days. Rough staking of the alignment will start on or around July 21st.
The San Francisco Recreation & Park Department will review the alignment and rough staking and will work with NTK Construction and the SFPUC to ensure the best alignment.
A public notice will be mailed to residents on Dalewood Way this week informing them about the installation of a temporary mobile pump station near their homes. Please see the attached public notice. Thank you.
So, the time for vigilant observation is about to start. If you see any irregularities, post them here with photos and call Brian Roberts (415-740-4382) and SFPUC (415-551-4659 and 415-550-4911 after hours) to complain.

Still, the blackberry re-erupts, and that was what we attacked. Here is only one of the piles we extracted:
Working with blackberry is one of the more challenging tasks, as its barbs are nasty and its canes are heavy and awkward. Still, we clearly had a good time:
