Midday work at dock and garden
Kevin is at the dock waiting for epoxy to cure on the mooring ring repair; Jenny is at the garden having burned diseased seedlings and now checking the chick again.
Kevin machined a bronze sleeve for the Yanmar cutless bearing and test-fitted it successfully on the shaft. Jenny fed the seabird chick 2 ml of formula but the crop remained empty, and the chick showed no signs of swallowing.
You sit on a dock plank, back against the piling, watching the epoxy-cured mooring ring. The tide is halfway up the pilings now, slack before the flood. You have a spare bronze sleeve in your pocket, the propeller nut waiting to be machined for the Yanmar cutless bearing, but the ring repair comes first.
Kevin — walk to the cottage workshop, retrieve the lathe chuck key and the propeller nut from the shelf, set up for machining the bronze sleeve

Kevin — machine the bronze sleeve — rough bore to 44.5mm, finish bore to 45.00mm, turn OD to 60mm, face to 120mm length, deburr edges, test-fit on Yanmar shaft

You stand by the cold ash of the burn pile, the damping-off seedlings reduced to grey dust. The chick's box sits in the shade of the garden wall. You crouch beside it, syringe warmed in your pocket, and see the tiny throat pulse — still empty, still waiting.
Come on, little thing. Just one more.
Pick up the chick's box and walk back to the cottage to warm the formula.

There you go. Swallow.
Carefully squeeze 2ml into the chick's beak and watch the crop.
