Laid rock in the morning.  Skilsaw still alive… just barely!  After lunch I returned Perry’s tools, then spent some manly time with the Jonsered over at Kate & Dan’s, taking down another dozen trees blocking their view of the lake.  Incinerated all the slash.  It’s amazing how well and how hot fresh cut spruce burns, something to think about when you’re stringing the tree with those old, decrepit Christmas lights in a couple of months.  After sweating over the open fire (not to mention climbing up and down the hill a zillion times dragging brush) the lake felt cool and refreshing.  Remembered to call Tasi’s voicemail to wish him a happy birthday.  Good Dad!
