Appropriately called a MISSED opportunity!  You could have ordered your "quick drying concrete" from Acme Products (a subsidiary of Roadrunner, Inc.) and caught a deer running across the concrete.  Then, having that deer stuck in the concrete, you would have plenty of time to draw, anchor, release, repeat as necessary until you actually HIT THE DEER!

Foundation is a big step, John.  This project is moving right along now!  Wish I lived closer and could spend weekends out there working on it with you!

I think you should move to Iowa and  start "CORN" the Community of Raptor Nerds.

The cuts for control joints were made yesterday. Annette and I cleaned up the job site so that we can move on to the build stage without foot tangles everywhere.

I spent part of the day cleaning up the garage floor when I almost turned an ankle on a scrap chunk of 2x4, foot tanglers indeed! 

I know it is kinda late, but you should have set anchor nuts in the concrete so you could bolt down a honey extractor to the floor!  Oh well, rent a hammer drill and set some redheads in the concrete later on.

While concrete hardens I have turned my attention to gathering and cooking rock for a winter storage. I went to the creek the other day to do a rock run. I spent the afternoon today spalling that stone out. I redug my old fire pit and prepared it for stone but needed more sand.  Annette went with me on the four wheeler to get a couple buckets of sand but she when we got to the creek she started rock hunting for landscaping rock. She found a couple nice sized pieces of basalt and one piece of flint. We returned to the backyard with rocks and sand. After preparing the pit with flakes and sand we started gathering wood. I walked through the woods breaking dead fall into campfire sized pieces while Annette drove the wheeler so I could stack wood on it. After a number of trips the piles was high enough to build up the fire. As I started stacking wood for my box fire Annette made another landscaping rock run on the wheeler. Riding the wheeler around on the trails has become her favorite past time. The photo below looks like any campfire but it represents a rockrun, an afternoon of spalling, and a couple hour hanging out together and having fun down by the creek.

Memories of a good day - priceless.
