preparing the evening meal

Kevin and Jenny return to the cottage as the first drops of rain fall. The smell of salt is heavy in the air.

The air is heavy and humid as the cloud cover thickens, signaling an approaching storm front. Jenny rests her swollen ankle in the cottage while Kevin monitors the barometer and prepares to secure the structure for the coming weather.

The pressure is falling quickly. We need to get the shutters secured before it really opens.

Limps into the kitchen, winces as she shifts her weight, and begins unwrap the damp ankle brace.

Shutters first. I'll get the bolts. You sit.

walk to the workshop shelf and retrieve the 10mm stainless through-bolts, washers, and nyloc nuts staged for the east shutter

💭 peek at the thought

I'm sitting. way don't lose the bolts.

Sinks into the kitchen chair, propping her leg up on a stool and begins to massage the inflamed skin.

He thinks sitting is a cure for a body that's failing because of the island's terrain.

🔧 Kevin20:54

Not losing anything.

carry the hardware to the east shutter and start fitting the first through-bolt through the greenheart sister knee, washer and nyloc nut on the inside

💭 peek at the thought
Bolts are right where I left them. Good. Now the shutters.
