Fair, bright, cool, clear day. Arose 8 A.M. Breakfast etc. Father & I cleaned out and mended gutters on houses & barn. Have miserable cold. Took nap. Supper. Home in evening. To bed 9 P.M.

Apparently, solder was used to repair gutters on houses back in 1922, according to one article found in an April 1922 edition of Printers Ink, a journal of advertising. I can picture Stanford and his father doing such a repair. Such repairs may still be done today. Here is a photo of a gutter being installed with seams being soldered.

Plotter Kill Falls is now a nature preserve and a trail in Rotterdam. Here is a picture of the falls from Wikipedia:

It was about 8 miles from his house, but Stanford doesn't say whether he and his friends drove or walked to the site. But it sounds like they enjoyed the hike. It must have been dark by the time they were done, though!
