Called EZ Dock folks to get a five foot extension for walkway to my dock. This will place dock in somewhat deeper water, important during droughts like now. Shade in hot summer is good habitat! Also gives fish more time to devour food pellets before prevailing wind buries them in shoreline vegetation.

Tough call to spend money on stuff like this now. On the one hand, you know it will cost more in the future, maybe a lot more. Rapid inflation militates against savings that lose value quickly. On the other hand, it's important to have something in reserve to meet rising costs. In this case, the economist in me is in a fight with the nervous retiree! eek
