Apart — Kevin at the dock, Jenny at the garden

AFTERNOON — Kevin mixes epoxy for the sleeve; Jenny checks seed trays

Kevin is at the dock preparing to epoxy the bronze sleeve into the Yanmar housing; Jenny is at the garden checking seed trays for damping-off and securing the loose tarp corner.

The afternoon heat lingers under an overcast sky as the tide remains high against the dock. Kevin completes the delicate mechanical work on the dinghy's propulsion, while Jenny tends to the fragile seedlings in the garden, struggling to save the crop from the dry season heat.

🔧 Kevin — alone at the dock

You stand at the dock workbench with the machined sleeve in one hand and the nearly empty epoxy tub in the other. The Yanmar housing sits bolted to the dinghy transom, waiting. You need to mix a fresh batch — powder, hardener, precise ratio — and work fast before it kicks. The shaft turns free in your fingers.

Kevin — walk to the workshop, fetch epoxy powder and hardener, mix a fresh batch, return to the dock and press the bronze sleeve into the Yanmar cutless bearing housing

💭 peek at the thought

Epoxy powder and hardener are in the workshop. Two minutes to fetch them, three to mix, one to seat the sleeve before it gels. Tide's still rising — need this done before the supply boat shows.

🔧 Kevin03:14

Kevin — wipe excess epoxy from the Yanmar housing, set the dinghy aside to cure, then walk to the dock mooring ring with the cedar wedges and hammer

💭 peek at the thought

Sleeve is seated, epoxy curing. Wipe the excess, let it breathe. The shaft spins true now — no play at the flange. One job done. Dock ring's next, then the letter.

🌿 Jenny — alone at the garden

You crouch by the seed trays on the garden bench, the chick's box warm on the stove behind you. Three pepper and two lettuce cells show white fuzz at the soil line — damping-off spreading. The tarp corner flaps in the rising breeze, snapping against the tomato stakes. You have twine and stakes in your pocket, and the lime bucket waits by the beds.

Come on, just one little swallow, you stupid thing.

Reach out andization scrape the white mold from the nearest pepper seedling with a fingernail.

💭 peek at the thought

If I don't save these peppers today, the whole season is a waste. The humidity is eating them alive.

🌿 Jenny03:16

Jenny — stand up slowly and walk to the edge of the garden to grab the twine.

💭 peek at the thought

My ankle is screaming, and the wind is getting sharper. If I don't secure that tarp, it'll tear the eyelets.
