I woke up before everyone else so I did a Bible study. When everyone else got up and ate we did our lesson and prayed. I did my workout but had to improvise on the weights. I used a steel bar and a gallon jug filled with water. I started and ended the workout with 8 sets of steps each time. SO I did 17 sets of steps by the time I finished my workout. By the end of the day I was up in the twenties. :( My neck was really hurting but I helped Scott cover the hole that he and Grandpa had been digging to bury the electric line. Then I carried a bucket of beach slop up the stairs to "mulch" the front yard. And I saw a weasel run the shoreline while I was working out. :)
After our morning work, Mom and Dad drove our truck over to Muse's so we could put our kayaks in. Scott and I had a nice paddle back to our dock. Then we ate lunch and rested up for a little while. Next, it was time to put the pontoon boat in. I was up in the boat handing stuff down to them (like an entire canoe), I'm pretty sure that's where I pulled my neck even worse. Then Dad wouldn't let me ride in the boat to Deer Trail until the branches almost ripped off the canopy then I got to get in. Once there after Rich filled up our gas cans, Dad and I got on the trailer to push the pontoon off while Scott and mom backed the truck. The water was pretty low and we were too far over so it was quite a chore. Scott and to keep backing up and Dad and I had to push, the problem was that I was in about a half of foot of muck. It was up over my ankle and my shoes kept coming off and I had to stop so I wouldn't lose them. We finally got it in but I was still pushing so missed the boat. :) I had to climb out of the muck rinse off my shoes and go meet him on the dock. We put the awning up on our way back. When we got back Scott showed up and informed us that the truck had gotten flooded. Nana's whole side was squishy. They had to shop vac it and leave the doors open hoping it would dry out.
After another rest, Scott and I went down and glued my dry-well seal with silicon sealant. We also tried to fix the minnow bucket. It was a real pain, we had to put clothespins down to hold the seal on, by the time we were done we had used about thirty clothespins. I took a bath because then my neck was really starting to hurt. Dad swept out the pontoon boat and then he and Scott took off fishing. Mom and I played cards and dominoes and spied on boats with our binoculars. We saw a canoe with a motor. We also spied on a guy walking a really old dog through the camp. He caught us looking at him through the windows. :) We tried to be a little more discreet after that. I went to bed about 8:30 and the guys came back shortly after that. Dad had only caught a couple fish but they saw a moose swim from Boat Island to the Mainland. It was about a half mile a way so they couldn't see it supposedly others said there was a calf with her. :(
After Scott came to bed my neck pain became unbearable so I spent the night out on the couch awake most of the night. I have never had neck pain like this before.
