Apr 15 - more trimming

Yes, that's about all that I accomplished.  Over at the island, I did my best to cut some of the dead stuff out which had been left standing.   There's only so much that I can do with a trimmer, however.  I'd need a cordless reciprocating saw to cut some of the thicker stuff.  Plowing through piles of cuttings, this time with long pants, I did more snip, snip, snip.

My plan had been to then head to the sandbar with Cassie but rain was approaching so I went back and cleaned up.  We only got a brief smatter of rain at that point; I could have gone.  Later, however, we were dumped upon and right now, early a.m., the wind from the west is battering us and scattered showers are hitting.  I don't expect to get out on the bike today !

I swapped wheels on the bike; no point in continuing to put mileage on rando wheels.  I put tires on the Rolf's and will use them for the next while  My rear wheel rebuild has held up well; still true.  I might tighten the drive side spokes a little to match that in the Peter White build.

The RUSA tax return is complete and has been circulated to the board.  Lois has looked at it and had a couple of questions that I answered.  I'll print and mail that in the next couple of days if no one has any more comments.  I wish that there was some way that I could calculate the number of stamps that I need on it without going to the post office ... perhaps I'll research that today. 

Sandy went to OceanS Seafood and picked up tuna and pompano.  She's a frequent and valued customer !  They seem to be doing a reasonable business with retail sales and takeout.  

Onward ?
