In the morning, using the steel cable and tractor, took down two trees that were leaning the “wrong” way, i.e., over the wood walkway.  No problems doing that as a one-person operation.  Fyles Brothers propane truck arrived late morning to replenish the 14 gallons that Dolores has sucked down in the last week.  Thirsty little Devil!  Started raining (as forecast) at noon, so headed into Brandon after lunch to do errands.  Bet you think I was after more ice cream!  Was still raining when I returned to Fern Lake and didn’t think it wise to climb a wet and slippery 28′ extension latter propped precariously against a severely leaning tree to attach the steel cable, so made a spaghetti sauce instead and prepared for the meeting tomorrow with Sean LaFlam (general contractor) and Dennis Senesac (HVAC subcontractor project manager).
