Nate got here just before 9 and we continued where the wall building left off yesterday.  Tammy and Jake arrived late morning to join in the fun.  Shortly thereafter, Dave Todd, our across-the-road neighbor, came over to tell Tammy that the D&F Paving stone and gravel pit was again selling to other contractors.  Tammy called the pit and, after some pleading, was allowed to buy a load of (somewhat dirty) A-stone, which Nate promptly went to fetch.  At lunch time, my wall building career came to an end (at least for this season), as the afternoon had to be spent loading Delores for our annual logging trip, which starts tomorrow.  At quitting time for this week, another 84 feet of stone wall was complete, bringing the two week total to 179 feet constructed; only 133½ feet to go.  The lake level now is 13½ inches below the top of our dock and the lake temperature still is a very swimmable 64°F.
