Another sweltering day.  Ian & Perry continued putting up ceiling joists until the typical summer afternoon thunderstorm put a halt to that endeavor… shortly after Sean arrived to check on progress.  I took the Ranger down to Green Mountain Garage to have the wheel bearing replaced and the state safety inspection sticker affixed to the windshield.  Tom, our man from Orkin Pest Control, arrived late afternoon (just as the T-storm was getting going) to deal with the onslaught of carpenter ants that, once again, are devouring the woodshed… and have been seen of late inside Dolores.  Spent the evening hours redesigning the house chimney and surrounding walls to eliminate the need for a cricket.
