What were you doing when you got the news ten years ago today?  As partial payback for letting us use their house for a week, spent most of the day dropping trees on our property in order to open up the lake view from Kate & Dan’s villa… and burning up the slash from today’s chainsaw victims and previous deforestation efforts. When the temperature is 55 and you’re sweating profusely, you know you’re not sitting in front of the TV. Got all but nine trees cleared before I ran out of go-juice.  Also opened a path along the flat spot right next to the lake to connect Kate & Dan’s property to our dock complex. Retrieved and secured their swimming float, which was trying to make an unauthorized voyage down the lake.  Found another fox den under an enormous rock that forms a natural cave, but there weren’t nobody home.
