We spent a couple of nights at the cottage (with more or less zero internet access), so I wasn't able to make any posts. I always find the cottage to be relaxing, although I usually end up doing a significant amount of work.
I don't mind physical cottage work, because - unlike my office job - it is so easy to see the tangible results of my labour. I've been cutting up an enormous tree that fell down in a storm last fall, using the chainsaw that we inherited when we bought the cottage. As best I can determine, the saw dates from the late 1960s. I'm in the semiconductor business, where new products are inevitably better and more powerful than older products, but I'm convinced that my vintage chainsaw is actually superior to a brand new saw (although it is unencumbered by any sort of safety features).
It isn't all work, though. Here's a shot of the view across the bay this morning from our dock.
