As I saw no manure, I judged that they meant to skim the land, as I had done, thinking the soil was deep and had lain fallow long enough.

She stood by her tanks and her Aquanaut sled. The tiny one-person sleds were propelled by twin propulsion jets. They would skim a diver through the water at breakneck speeds.
У ее ног лежал акваланг и «подводные сани» – похожий на гидроцикл аппарат с двумя винтами, позволяющий аквалангисту передвигаться с огромной скоростью как под водой, так и по ее поверхности.

I hope you will have held to the two-minute rule and dispatched a number of those quick-skim items already—tossing, filing, or routing them forward as appropriate.
Надеюсь, что вы придерживались правила двух минут и уже разобрались с рядом моментальных проблем: что-то выбросили, что-то рассортировали, а что-то перенесли на следующий этап как полезный материал.
