Drove into Middlebury first thing to buy a baking dish that was too big to fit in Dolores’ oven and to not buy the sugar needed for tonight’s dinner (because what’s a dinner without sugar?). Still nasty out when I returned from the second trip (into Ferndale to get the sugar), so did some baking and worked more on the sauna detailed design. Late morning the sun came out, so finished digging the holes, planted the posts, put on the stringers, attached the railing posts, and installed the longitudinals for the first 16 feet of the final walkway section. Used up the rest of the 12-2 wrong-sized landscape wire running the electrical forward to the next light. Took lasagna, a tossed salad, and raspberry cream cheese bars down to Marty & Merry’s for dinner. Perry and his sidekick, Gimpy, brought garlic bread to die for. Marty & Merry provided their usual outstanding hospitality, appetizers, and an assortment of ice cream, including Gifford’s special batch vanilla and raspberry chocolate chip, to go with the bars, ‘cause they just didn’t have enough calories as a stand-alone dessert. Wanna bet ye olde belt won’t be on the last notch tomorrow?
