Awoke to fog & a very chill wind—temp. around 40°. Did my radio broadcast on espionage & the spies we’re catching. We hear the skies are clear all around us & just below us but we’re in the cloud here on the mountain. Again I’ve cancelled a ride. We’ve had intermittent days like this on other ranch trips but never one like this.
Then along about noon the skies cleared, the sun came out & we had an afternoon outdoors. I painted—(a little touch up) of our Rooster weathervane then Courtney, Barney, Dennis & I pruned the big walnut tree in the yard & hauled the cuttings to the dump. A letter, “for my eyes only” came from Bud MacFarlane. He wants to resign. He says after 30 yrs. in govt. service he owes it to his family. I cant argue against that. I believe his successor should be John Poindexter—presently Buds Deputy in N.S.C.
