Ron enjoyed his birthday for the first time in years.
I took us to Purple Pub for lunch and Desperados for dinner, the latter of which included a birthday gift of $14.95 toward his meal.
I did Ron’s chores: loaded the truck for a transfer station run, laundry and emptied the dishwasher.
He drove us to Field Farm but we didn’t do a walk. Did enjoy the views from Oblong Road.
The road was closed so we walked to the top of Natural Bridge State Park.
In 2004, local youth created an art installation called “The Guardian Project.” The concept for these art pieces was based on the individual youth’s vision of a “guardian”: a sculpture that would watch over, as well as honor and protect the natural beauty of the area where it was placed. iBerkshires
Fabulous visit to Naumkeag. Returned via back roads partly through NY State.
We picked up the truck in Pownal. Noise in front from exhaust pinhole?
Peter M was here and did a lot of attic cleanup in preparation for construction in the office, installed a fan in the upstairs bathroom and an outlet in the basement, fixed the switch for the basement lights and grounded the remaining upstairs outlets.
Ron did a second transfer station run with sticks and dug up bushes and got locked in. He was rescued quickly.
I’ve been working on ZAI Trust paperwork and “after” photos.
Ron got himself a very cute new piggy bank.
Got the okay from ClearResult for a no-interest loan application via Mass Save. Got a proposal from Ryan for the office.
A nice woman called yesterday from the company that is doing the insulation and sent a copy of the work order. I’ve scheduled it for mid-June.
Had Ron’s egg salad with mayo for lunch – not bad.

Plumber identified yet more DIY horror. Around $4,500 worth.
New contractor did a walk-through and pretty much made the same observations and asked the same questions as everyone else.
Attended a recital for one of my favorite instruments, the bassoon – rigorous program, expertly performed.
