Larry Rabe continues to replace the rotted window trim. Nearly all the walls behind the trim show a lot of rot. Some like this one are seriously in need of repair, but this could amount to a pricey operation when we consider the overall number in need or repair.
I have called a contractor to come next week to replace a floor joist under 501 that is rotted off at the load bearing end. This is not the only one, just the worst one that I know of. There was also an infestation of termites under the window trim on 501. Bedingfield will be here tomorrow to treat the area.
The excavator that was being used for the spillway has been in the shop since Monday. It may be repaired in time for work to resume tomorrow.
The tide remains high and has brought more trout back to the pier. Last evening I caught trout at every light although they were all in the 10 to 11 inch range. For the last few months the only trout available were off the end of the pier. I had not caught one at the first light since last fall until last evening. On an annual basis this light has proven to be the most productive for keeper trout.
