Got half the sixth course laid and parged. Serious shortage of good rocks really slowing things down, especially as the top of the sixth course has to be pretty much even with the two-foot mark all the way around. (Every third course is “level” for Type A aesthetic reasons.) Marty stopped by to admire progress and offered to let me scavenge rock from the old dump on his property. Looked at what was available there and came back with one good rock. Sigh…. Mid-afternoon a seaplane was using Fern Lake for touch and go landing practice.
