Had another one of those "where did
that come from" dreams that woke me up at 5AM. As long as I was up early, I decided that today was the day to decide what to do about the trusses. Spent a couple of hours online doing a little more research. By 8:30 I was pooped so laid back down to relax and think about it some more. Just as I was about to fall asleep - it finally came to me. Shot out of bed, got dressed, fed and watered Benita and hit the road to Alpine for the parts I need to complete the manifestation of the big plan. Photo is a sculpture outside Blue Water Natural Foods on the way in to town.

Finished the design process in my head during the hour drive north. Got exactly what I
think I will need at McCoys and True Value. Shopped quick then popped in to see Bennett Jones for an overdue visit. Did the usual stop at the grocery store, gassed up and did the drive through at my favorite restaurant in Alpine for lunch to go...a number six (crispy) with large coke and fries.

Got home and unloaded then took some time to reflect on the plan - looks like it is still a go...Headed down to the Starlight for 241 night with my NYC friend RB. Stuffed myself then back to the Field Lab to wind down the day. Benita was standing guard by the road when I arrived.
