It's a good one.

Bad ones are like what I did Monday.

6 hours of cleaning storm drains.

Remove the wattle (that's the straw in a mesh sleeve)
Pry off the grill (it's only a hundred pounds or so, and stuck down with the mud the wattle let through)
Remove the silt bag (it's packed with the mud and debris the wattle and grill missed. Did I mention it's soaked?)
Climb into the drain and shovel out the, umm, stuff.
Dump out the silt bag and re-install (nothing's holding it in place except friction)
Clean the grill and install so it holds the silt bag (Take GREAT care to avoid dropping it into the drain)
Circle the drain inlet with a wattle
Scrape up all the dirt and debris and wheel barrow it away
Repeat until you are out of drains.
Collect $35.69
Don't move for two days afterward...
