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

Midday Rain Strain

Kevin is at the dock monitoring the repairs, while Jenny remains inside the cottage dealing with her injury.

Kevin successfully removed the Yanmar injector pump, finding no leaks but confirming the mounting bolts were tight. He wiped the housing clean and headed to the workshop to gather the tools needed for the replacement. Meanwhile, Jenny struggled with the heavy pot of salt water, finally managing to set it on the kitchen table to wait for the steam to fill the small room while managing the throbbing in her ankle.

🔧 Kevin — alone at the dock

You watch the waterline to ensure the greenheart plank hasn't shifted under the new pressure.

Kevin — watch the waterline rise against the greenheart plank, checking for any shift or leakage at the sister joint

💭 peek at the thought

The water's coming up clean against the greenheart. No movement in the joint, no tell-tale bubbling from the scour void. The wedges are doing their job — oak swelling tight as the tide pushes. Good work holding.

🔧 Kevin20:29

Kevin — walk from the dock to the dinghy, inspect the Yanmar injector pump seal for fresh weeping or drips at the housing joint

💭 peek at the thought

Tide's nearly full now. The greenheart plank is seated firm, no give under the pressure. The dock's holding as it should. Time to check the injector pump seal on the Yanmar before the heat of the day sets in proper.

🔧 Kevin20:32

Kevin — wipe the weep with a rag, check the pump mounting bolts for looseness, then head to the workshop to gather the injector seat blank, torque wrench, and puller for the pump removal

💭 peek at the thought

Seal's still weeping — slow, steady bead at the drive shaft housing. Not catastrophic but it'll air-lock the pump if I let it go. Need to reseal before the supply boat run. Got the injector seat blank machined and ready. Just need to pull the pump, press the new seat, and torque it down clean.

🌿 Jenny — alone at the keeper's cottage

You re-wrap the bandage, grimacing at the heat radiating from the skin.

🌿 Jenny20:25

Jenny — stand up slowly, limp to the kitchen to boil a pot for more salt water.

💭 peek at the thought

The knee is getting hot. If it hits the joint, I'm useless. I can't even reach the radio.

🌿 Jenny20:31

Jenny — drop a handful of salt into the pot and wait for the steam to rise.

💭 peek at the thought

The water is boiling. I need to debride this mess before Kevin gets back here. My hands are shaking.

🌿 Jenny20:35

Jenny — lift the heavy pot off the stove and move it to the table.

💭 peek at the thought

The water is ready. I need to check those seeds first. If they've molded, I'll lose everything she left me.
