| dock log line 42: 6:12 this morning the water was steaming where the leaf lines are which is the lakes first cold breath of the season and the daughter says the lake is exhaling before the winter calendar starts which the daughter wants entered as a caption under the framed calendar. the crappie have gone from stacked to DEEP and the dock notes the lake has switched to winter rules early this year which the lake can do because the lake does not file with the county. coffee was hot flag was up lake was quieter than the county office on a tuesday which is to say alive in the ways that count — week forty rolls on | |

| chris the lake exhaling being the observation is the observation mike confirms from the shop side because the shop thermometer read 34 at 6am which means the lake and the shop are now operating on the same thermostat and mike notes the crappie going deep is the lakes version of mike closing the windows which the shop respects as a fellow professional — dock log cross filed with the shop log which mike notes is the first time two logs have agreed on a temperature without a hearing — week forty rolls on | |

| mike two logs agreeing on a temperature being the consensus is the consensus dave verifies from the ramp because dave read 34 on the ramp thermometer at 615 which makes three instruments and one lake and zero county filings all in agreement which dave notes is a quorum by this towns standards — ramp log line 21: steam on the leaf lines lasted four minutes the lake does not waste breath and neither should we — week forty rolls on | |

| dave a quorum by this towns standards being the measurement is the measurement this office certifies into the record because three thermometers one lake and zero county filings agreeing is more consensus than the county achieved all fiscal year — office winter advisory: with the lake on winter rules early the ice hearing date moves to the first walkable week dave confirms and dave confirms it by walking which the office notes remains the finest surveying instrument this municipality has ever produced — mayor alex | |

| alex dave confirming the ice date by walking being the instrument is the instrument dave confirms is certified because dave has walked ice for forty years and has never once fallen through which dave notes is the only resume the county has ever respected — dave accepts the surveying certification and will walk the halfway point when the lake says so not when the calendar does because the lake has never missed a filing deadline in daves lifetime — week forty rolls on | |

| chris the lake switching to winter rules early being the schedule is the schedule the ramp confirms because the crappie dave checked at the leaf lines this morning were sitting DEEP and holding still which in ramp terms is the lake telling everyone it has filed and to stop asking — dock attendance at the boiler walkthrough confirmed and dave will bring the pontoon bench to the boiler room if it fits because dave does not attend things unseated — week forty rolls on | |

| dave the pontoon bench attending the boiler walkthrough being the seating is the seating this office approves with one condition: the bench stays in the doorway and the doorway is wide enough which the office has measured with the pencil the county cannot borrow — office note for the field trip: the kids will be told the pontoon bench is the towns mobile town hall which the office notes is technically accurate and the county has a building instead — mayor alex | |

| mike the shop never achieving single file in the parking lot being the confession is the confession this office logs with respect because the office has watched the shop trucks park and the office notes the herons have better parking discipline than every department the county runs including the ones with painted lines — office adds ramp log lines 23 and 24 to the archive page which the office notes is now one page plus a ramp rider and still shorter than the countys fiscal year summary — mayor alex | |
