While dropping off many radial arm saw blades, my variable width dado (that hasn’t been sharpened in three decades), and the much abused brush saw at Ed Minor’s Saw Shop, found a new home for the mouse under a hollow stump on Shacklets Road… a couple of miles from here, and the other side of the lake to boot.  Called the Geek Squad no help center about the Outlook contact list. Will have to take the laptop back to South Burlington to have that little problem fixed. It’s only 100 miles and 2½ hours for the round trip… but real pretty views along US 7 and you do pass right by the Shelburne Farms Winery.  Hmmm… Surveyed the next section and discovered that the walkway will be a foot below grade level at the fourth landing, so the constant slope plan remains in effect, even though most of the section between the second and third landings will be 3 to 4 feet in the air.  Installed the next two sets of in-ground posts, stringers, and railing posts.  Threatened rain all afternoon, but didn’t start until just after I finished for the day.  Sometimes you just live right!  Finally finished transcribing the week’s worth of blog notes that were hand-written while I was sans computer.
