A decent day, as workdays go

The absence of the van didn't seem to hurt us too much; we were done by 2:30 PM. We ate out (there's a food allowance on this project, so we're milking it for all it's worth); after supper we went to a cafe called Marty's which is renowned for its butter tarts (not to be confused with butter queens, cf. the Mad Dogs and Englishmen movie). They were indeed first rate butter tarts; indeed I can't recall having had a better one. Notably, the place also sells what they call a "Big-Ass Apple Pie", which presumably describes the consequences of eating too many of them.
