Vast accomplishment

The power boat is launched! Unfortunately the weather was kind of icky, so I did not attempt to rope anybody into waterskiing. The temperature in the lake is 62, so with a wetsuit it would be fine. There was a bit of stupidity where I forgot to bring a wrench to screw in the plug. At least we had the plug. So we put it in finger tight, figuring (correctly) the boat would not sink by the time I got to the mooring. Then there was a struggle to reach the plug which is at the lowest point in the boat (sort of obviously) and behind the motor which was in the way. Eventually I did manage to put the wrench around the bolt and turn it, all by feel underwater, because there wasn't any putting your head anywhere useful to see it.

Ken is once again doing container gardening, and there was a bunch of set up for bringing the containers outdoors (they are in the porch right now). But we need to have varmint protection: chipmunks and deer. Which entails pounding giant stakes into the ground to affix various forms of fencing, and that was a lot of work.

So my exercise today was walking up and down between the house and either the boat or the garden, carrying things, climbing into and out of the boat, pounding stakes into the ground, etc.
