There was a violent thunderstorm in the middle of the night.  First thing in the morning both Merry and Alverta (surrogate and real mothers) called to see if I had survived the apocalypse.  Nice of them to be concerned!  Spent most of the day erecting and bracing the concrete forms for two sections of the east wall. Perry reported that the Home Depot didn’t have the deck screws I need and that the sauna stove (to be installed next summer down at the waterfront) was ready for pickup at Goodro’s.  During the ensuing trip into Middlebury the Ranger’s Check Engine light became extinguished of its own volition.  So does that mean that there is no underlying problem?  Hmm…  Also stopped at Martin’s Lumber, who not only had the right screws but also an electrical fitting that I forgot to get from Liam yesterday.  Just as I was putting away tools and getting ready to light the campfire another storm rolled through.  The barbecued chicken will just have to wait until tomorrow.
