    Got the platform grouted. Bout to start on the wall. When I heard the ice hitting the chimney at 6 this am, I reckoned it was the alarm to get this baby done.

    It's 45 now with a low of 38 tonight. I guess it was hail this morning, but it was more like 1/2 bb size rain.

    We've got a shindig to attend tonight, so it looks like the stove may not make it today unless I get a few strong friends to randomly show up in the next few hours. Uncle neighbor is all hemed up with the gout right now, so he's out.
