20261024 - couldn't sleep. Up at 5:30 am, running plans for the deck through my head. Got up, got ready to go on a trip, and left. I headed out to the garage and started taking things over to Doc's house. Some people started showing up: Casey Jordan, Steve Weilend, John Clay, Bill McLean, Joe Plessner, D, J Scott & Colin Sampson, Ken Eichman, Brad Roser. We got to work on Doc's project, removed the old steps, cleaned up all the trash, started building a frame, got things leveled and squared up and everybody had little things to do. We made great progress. I never dreamed we'd make it that far. Started at 9 in the morning, finished about at dark, so about 7:00. John Clay bought lunch for everybody. It was a very very nice day. Got a lot done. L up the lake with her girlfriends
