Did small chores early morning while waiting for the propane truck, which arrived at 9:30 just as I finished putting up (AGAIN!) the ∆□O driveway sign.  Any side bets on how long it lasts this time????  Spent the rest of the day with the tractor, smoothing out the old stairway path, then carving a rough access “road” across the hill where the current walking path from the house site comes down to the lake.  Why, you ask, have I just spent the better part of a day and a half doing tractor work (besides the obvious fun factor)?  Because there was a huge rock right where one of the wooden walkway in-ground posts will need to go in the next day or so.  A rock that needed to be moved to where it can be used (much later) in a retaining wall, but which would have been impossible to move by single-hand. Gnats came out today.  Not too bad so long as there were diesel fumes in the air, but certainly pesky when the tractor was shut off.  At least they only last two weeks.
