Schlepped into Goodro’s right after breakfast to pick up all the Sauna deck things I forgot to order yesterday.  Story of my life!  Based on my experience with the “floppiness” of the Clubhouse decking material and after conferring with Tim Combs (one of the Goodro’s owners), decided to use 12″ on center joist spacing for the deck, vice the 16″ on center spacing the manufacturer says is allowable.  Also went to the Middlebury Hannaford where, surprise, surprise, my prescription processed through just fine.  Spent the rest of the day installing all of the Sauna deck rim joists that are attached to the building.  Most of that work had to be done while kneeling, of course, which currently is #2 on my list of least favorite positions.  My wish came true!  The lake water temperature is up to 66°, so went in for the first dip of the season.  Took a looooong time to convince myself go in past my knees, a sure sign that I’m not as brave foolish as I used to be.  Or maybe not, as I did take the full immersion cure eventually.  With swimming also not part of my current repertoire, didn’t stay in the lake very long…
