A totally yucky day: temps in the mid-50’s and rain.  The mosquito control sprayer was out and about last night… visited Kate & Dan’s and Marty & Merry’s.  He who called got skipped! Consequently, the mosquitoes weren’t gone today… though they weren’t nearly as bad as yesterday.  Spent the morning getting wet, laying rock, and putting mortar where it would do the most good. Finally wore out the diamond blade on my Skilsaw, so after lunch and a change of clothes, added some more to my burgeoning tab at Goodro Lumber.  Spent the remainder of the afternoon carving rock with my new blade.  Got another section finished (except for some residual mortar application)... only three more to go!  Talked to Junction Auto.  Hope Chree is sitting down when she gets the news: all of the brake lines on the Ranger need to be replaced and so do the carriage bolts for the rear leaf springs.
