Way too early, Josh and I continued the concrete column form building project, assisted for several hours by Dan. In spite of the extra help, still only got three forms built and installed by five o’clock. Major slowdown due to threading the horizontal rebar through the forms, which took hours and many words of “encouragement”. After work, jumped in the lake, per normal routine, and discovered I still had my glasses on. So took them off and put them on the dock. Awhile later, decided to give Hopea Kanootti a much needed bath, so unhitched her from the dock, swamped her, and then gave her a good hand scrubbing, removing a few thousand mosquito larva. Then pulled her up onto the dock to drain out all the water. Discovered a very flat, multiple piece pair of glasses upon completing that evolution. So now I can either wear my sunglasses and look really hip or use my white cane to get around. Sure do hope it’s sunny next Friday when I drive back to Virginia… Blindly followed Dan in a swim across the lake (which is about 1000’ wide at the latitude of our dock) before joining him and Kate for a delicious BBQ chicken dinner at their place.
