Surveyed the walkway so I could accurately draw it on the site plan that has to be submitted with the Building Permit Application for the Dock Building and Walkway.  Got that done just as the Fyles Brothers truck arrived to deliver 7.2 gallons of propane (all that had been used since the last fill up at the end of May).  Then started ripping old deck planks into 2 x 2½ ″ boards that will become kick plates for the 195 feet of the walkway that still need that component.  Was just finishing up that task when the FedEx truck arrived at 12:45 with the tools Mr. Booby left behind in Virginia.  Thus was able to smoothly transition to installing said kick plates onto the section of walkway between landing #7 and the waterfront.  Finished that section, then cut and installed the mounting board for the lower transformer, just before heeding the siren call of the warm and placid waters.  Swam across the lake and back without pausing to rest on the western side.
