It obviously had rained during the night because when I got up this morning everything outside was wet and there were still puddles in the driveway. The temperature at 9:30 a.m. was 74 degrees, the humidity was 94%, the sky was mostly cloudy and the wind was very strong at 15-22 mph out of the north.
It was perfect weather in which to paint because the paint set up quickly in the wind, despite the high humidity.
I talked to the Coyles around 11:30 a.m. and they confirmed that they are coming up to Leech Lake today. I'm not sure how long they'll be staying, but I think they'll be here until sometime on Friday afternoon.
By noon I was out painting the bunkhouse and shortly thereafter Joe joined me. He was painting the side of the bunkhouse where there had been a wasps' nest, and sure enough, one stung him in the neck. We applied ice to it and he got the stinger out, but it still caused him some significant discomfort.
We continued to paint the bunkhouse all afternoon, and finally wrapped up around 4:30 p.m.
The Coyles arrived at just after 5:00 p.m. and we quickly got pizzas in the oven since everyone was hungry. After dinner we went next door to the cabin where we got a fire going in the fire pit and spent the next several hours just talking and enjoying the cool breeze off the lake.
We all headed inside to read and get ready for bed around midnight. We plan to do some fishing tomorrow weather permitting, and Joe and I also want to try to wrap up our painting project.
Until tomorrow, good night from Leech Lake.
