Knew I had just enough 2x4x12’s for the railing between the third walkway landing and the Halfway There landing, with maybe two inches to spare.  Where the last two pieces of railing in that section joined was a three axis compound joint… never an easy task.  Must have walked up and down the walkway between that joint and the radial arm saw a dozen times, cutting the angles wrong and wrong again.  Ultimately, the last piece of wood became too short to use, so I gave up in disgust until next spring.  Someone is NOT a happy camper!!!!  At noon tried to send a simple email to Chree and Verizon, in their infinite big-brother-is-watching wisdom, declared it to be spam and refused to send it.  Then, when I tried to protest that decision via their spamdetector.update@verizon.net email address, I kept getting a message that that address was invalid.  So I spent an hour online chatting with some techie in India, who, after taking control of my computer, was completely unable to replicate the problems.  As soon as we hung up (you guessed it!) any email I sent to Chree was declared spam anew.  Needless to say, the Riunite Lambrusco is taking a serious hit tonight.
