Finished putting in the in-ground posts for the 20° bend, put on the upper stringer, then recognized that I had no idea where to set the lower stringer so that the deck boards either side of the bend would line up.  So put the lower stringer roughly into place with clamps and doug the holes for the next set of posts down the line, planted them, and put on their stringers.  Cut the four triangular shaped deck boards that round the bend and found, when I temporarily put on the longitudinals for the last stretch of walkway, that the lower stringer was (as suspected) way out of position.  Finally figured out where it should be, screwed / bolted it into position, and called it quits, ‘cause by this time it was raining pretty good.  Found out when I went back up the hill that I had forgotten to cover up the radial arm saw after last use.  I’m sure (!!!!) it appreciated the bath…
