Well, it was winter the last few days -- never got out ofthe mid-30s on our ridge Monday -- and it was fogsoon season as well.  You know fogsoon, don't you?  Wet, raining from all directions ("Iteven rained upside down," as Forrest Gump once observed), and soakedeverything even when it wasn't raining.  Thenif neither the sun nor the wind comes out, nothing dries out.  "You cain't do nothing", toparaphrase the late James G. "Squirrel" Garrison.
Today, however, the stars and a sliver of moon were outbrightly when I crawled out of the sack at 5 a.m. to grind out my quotidian of1,000 words. Now the sun is out and bearing down and the wind is howling at15-20 knots.  There are whitecaps out onthe hayfield, and there's a small craft warning for garden tractors and wheelbarrows.  Might be best to stay in the slip, and turn to the traditional make and mend work before splicing the mainbrace sometime in late afternoon.
