Took the Ranger back to McDonough’s in Brandon where Mike and $20 quickly repaired the rough spot on the wheel rim that was causing the slow leak.  Then Chree and I continued our battle with the wood walkway excavation and building, getting the second and third set of in-ground posts and stringers done.  Found the missing 4x4 post… if it’d been a snake we both would have been fatally bitten.  Male pattern blindness I certainly understand; why Chree didn’t see the post (in plain sight) is a mystery.  Cocktail party and light dinner over at Mark & Karen Evans (they have a house diagonally across the lake that they use for vacations and weekend getaways from Philadelphia) where we met many of the folks who live or have camps along the west shore.  A delightful evening, made even more fun by using Hopea Kanootti for the commute.
