    I love when you and Ray work together to build things. ❤ I don't really understand the entire dock process, but it is calming and soothing to watch. I love how easy it was to put the remaining cabinets together. And finally, City Girl!!! Thank you for another wonderful episode. I kept waiting for you to fix the dock, and finally it is done! 👏 Have a wonderful weekend!

Ray’s got the know how, the van, the right tools, the mustache, the energy, the nice hair, the waders, the nice toilet, rugged good looks and probably all the headlamps one could ever need....he is the total package that Ray, wish there were more Rays, the world is so much better with Ray!!!

    Looks like your support chat helped. Good to see you warm your chain saw up before going into the big cuts. People that fire up a chain saw and go at it 100% without a warm up are prone to cold seizes and piston damage. Glad the vids is up. Ray, you are a boss.

    I was so excited to see you fixing the dock, I don't know why it gives me so much joy but a lake with a wooden dock and a boat are my idea of heaven on earth! What a good friends you and handsome Ray are, everyone should have a friend like Ray. Handy, handsome and fun. That drink looked horrible, yikes better than an IPA is about better than sewer water, lol! Try an Aloha Sunset. A shot of grenadine, one shot each of peach schnapps and white tequila and fill rest of glass with white grapefruit juice (only kind in carton, no canned stuff) and lots of ice. My cousin created it while living on a boat in Hawaii. Apparently when you drink a pitcher of them, you may slide off the boat and everyone else shouts "ALOHA!" 💜💜🌲🌲💜💜

    By ATV, I hauled in a blue plastic barrel, the components for expanding foam, & fiberglass/2part epoxy. Cut the barrel for a mold, then fiberglassed the foam when it came out of the mold. Trucker ratchet straps hold the platform to the floats. I can move it around our lake with a trolling motor, & pull it onshore during hockey season (rehabbed an old Zamboni for skating & drift racing it on our snow machine coned racing course. The dock would not cost much to build.

I was going to suggest getting a big truck tire inner-tube and put under it then inflate it. I know you have a good magnet to get the socket back out of the water. Oh yes city girl is beautiful. I can't say that for Ray as he just is not my type.Good friends for life are few and far between. You two work well together. Wishing you a super wonderful week. God bless.

Don't know how you managed it and to keep your balance and not lose the boats or wind up in the brink. Yet you did it! I don't understand why you floated half the other dock away from shore. I must have missed something you said. Fun video, as usual. 👏👍

    Russell, please. Lift with your leg muscles not your back. Keep back straight.
    I'm purchasing a new tool, a 20" tong used for lifting log rounds (back straight) and skidding logs.
    Another trick I use is bringing a long a tall footstool like you had there working on your wood. You can lift a log onto a stool like that from the forest floor and then lift it again, after a breath or two, into a wheelbarrow or cart.

    You guys were pickin' 'em up, and layin' em down, all that wood cutting, splitting, box moving, branch lifting, cabinet building, dock repairing and arranging...whew, I may have to go take a nap.
    It was quite inspiring to see Ray holding forth on the porch Russell style. I do believe that is more than he has ever said. I think it should be a section of every vid from here on out, if not from the porch, then remote from The Van, or if need be The Throne. They say if you can't be handsome, at least be handy. But here is Ray, finer'n frog's hair split four ways...how is that fair to all the other guys?
    How did lil Juney finally get off the floating dock? After she was so brave to get on in the first place.
