Delivered mouse #3 to the Silver Lake parking lot hollow tree stump.  Afterwards, spent an hour uploading 2½ weeks of blog postings to the fernlake.blogspot.com website.  Then put the toe caps on the third walkway section.  That means that 158 feet of the walkway now are complete.  Only 274 more feet to go!  Started work on putting in the four in-ground posts that will support the third landing.  Placement of the first two was very fussy… they have to be in exactly the right position (including height above ground) for both the landing construction and the start of the next walkway section.  Got that done and was about to plant the third in-ground post when a call from Lynne sent me to Burlington for the night to assist Alverta, who was experiencing her first ever ambulance ride as Lynne and I were speaking and, ultimately, again needed rescuing from the clutches of the Fletcher Allen emergency room.
