11 June 2011

A nasty, rainy day with temps in the mid-60’s.  Second day in a row that the mosquitoes were so benign that no bug dope or insect repelling lantern were needed.  Josh (who I had expected to arrive at 8:00) called at 11:00 to let me know that he wouldn’t be coming over to work today… a day when I really could have used his help.  Reliability isn’t his strong suit.  Continued building and (between downpours) installing concrete forms for the auxiliary storage area walls.  Designing as I build is not my forte, as evidenced by the number of pieces that have had to be rebuilt after I saw that they wouldn’t work as originally constructed. However, having a roof overhead really made the whole working-in-the-rain experience much more pleasant.  At 5:00, as they were leaving for a restaurant dinner, Marty & Merry invited me to join them.  I reluctantly demurred due to general decrepitude and a need to keep working, which I was still doing when they returned a couple of hours later.
