In the photos,the docks refloated, Janet hard at work unwrapping the boat and Patrick thinking about Schopenhauer in the backhoe.
A day of full sunshine, so hot you have to strip down to a T-shirt. Swarms of blackfly learning to bite again. I don’t think they like me that much. I’m pleasantly surprised by the fact that they aren’t so aggressive.
The Masterbuilder has a very productive and varied day. Balanced on the backhoe the three masts in his hangar are ferried up to the Marina where Wayne and Janet will toil their boat back to life. Bit like waxing a very large car. The dock is once again pushed off the bank and re-anchored. Then the road to the hangar is fixed up with a new pipe in the culvert – again the backhoe is showing off. Then the MB drives out the saw, the basic tool for making sense of these logs lying around everywhere. Finally out comes the edger which is the tool which makes the boards into human objects, into lumber. Quite the day...
How does this advance the building project? Now we can create the lumber which will be the core of the construction... In the evening the boaters come up from the Marina and we all eat a delicious pork dinner with asparagus and then fruit salad.
The sun is still shining. Maybe it isn’t just a cruel joke.
