Apart — Kevin at the dock, Jenny at the keeper's cottage

dock repair and seed sorting continue

Kevin works at the dock fitting replacement planks; Jenny sorts and records heirloom seeds at the cottage.

Kevin spent the brutal heat securing the dock's mooring ring with cedar wedges to ensure stability for the incoming supply boat. Jenny worked in the shade of the cottage, meticulously sorting the heirloom seeds and checking the drying sea beet leaves.

🔧 Kevin — alone at the dock

You measure the first sound core against the cleared mortise, marking the cut lines with a carpenter's pencil. The half-inch three-strand rope lies coiled nearby for the mooring ring repair once the planks are fastened.

Kevin — measure and mark the first sound core for length and bolt holes, then cut to fit the cleared mortise

💭 peek at the thought

First plank's the reference — get this one true and the others follow. Mortise is clean enough. Copper nails won't split the grain if I pre-drill.

🔧 Kevin05:00

Kevin — drill pilot holes and drive copper nails to secure the first replacement plank, then move to the second sound core

💭 peek at the thought

First plank seats clean. Two more to go before the tide turns. The mortise dust holds the caulk better than I expected.

🌿 Jenny — alone at the keeper's cottage

You sit at the kitchen table with the notebook open, writing variety names and packet conditions in columns. The pencil moves steadily. Outside, the garden tarp flaps at one loose corner.

Just stay dry, you. Please.

Pick up a packet of heirloom tomato seeds and weigh them in my palm, checking for clumps.

💭 peek at the thought

If I don't get these dry now, the humidity will rot them right before the boat even arrives.

🌿 Jenny04:58

Jenny — close the notebook and walk over to the wood stove to check on the limpets.

💭 peek at the thought

The heat is making my head swim. I need to eat something before I pass out on the table.
