Bob: Today was a beautiful day! I took advantage of the weather and used a vacation day to do body work and paint sections of my plow truck. On Friday, I'll be checking out something on the AT near the Vermont border, then going to Mohawk with the Chief of Recreation and the Director, for a big tree walk. I'm trying to free up a few days next week so I'll keep in touch.
