A first and two accomplishments today.  First bike ride with Marty… a nice ten mile circuit down to Neshobe Golf Course and back.  Except for a 4½″ trim piece at the top, finished the south wall of the shed. Also finished the first box (2,500 count) of stainless steel staples.  Have almost finished the first gallon of Cabot Weathering Stain, so, doing the math, a box of staples and a gallon of stain are needed for each 200 square feet of shingles. Put the starter course on the east wall, using up all the “bad” shingles left from the contre temps with the New Cedar stain.  As a package of chicken was what fell out (and didn’t land on my foot!) when I opened the freezer this morning, had perfectly cooked BBQ chicken over the campfire for dinner.  And who knew that after a long day working in the hot sun, a gin and tonic could taste soooooooooooo good?!?!
