Awake 6:20 am Temp Downtown=63 Sunny 18 hrs 32 min of daylight

Our flower box looks good....it's only pieced together temporarily as I
eyeball it. But..I did completely overlooked cutting slots into the front
section which would give it a little esthetic charm. I did slot the end
caps however. Since I am returning John's truck anyway, I ask kathy what
she thinks about taking the front section back to the woodshop & give it
that added touch. She agrees, so we measure the Rav 4 to make sure we have
the room to bring that board back home.

It's a short 12 mile drive to John's place from here. John invites us into
his den for a chat. Somehow we get to talking about John's early days in
Alaska. He's a great story teller & has us spellbound for over an hour
with his descriptive account of making his way to Alaska for the first
time when fresh out of law school in 1947. What a memory & recall that guy
has.

Anyway, Kathy assists me in cutting the horizontal slots in the front
section board....then we help John gather & load up his truck with spruce
limbs that he cut days earlier. Then to Spenard Builders Supply for
screws, drill bits & paint for the final assembly of the BIG BOX.

7:15 Dinner: Fresh halibut from Kevin(very good), asparagus, leftover
potatoes & rice, salad & bing cherries.

Evening motorhome reading & computer browsing. Lights out: 11:10 pm
