Morning chores

Kevin and Jenny meet in the kitchen to discuss the day's tasks before the heat peaks.

The morning starts gusty with the palms rustling loudly in the dry season heat. Jenny focuses on drying the heirloom seeds near the stove while Kevin checks the radio gear and prepares for the coming supply boat.

The seeds are almost dry. I'm heading to the north ridge to map the lichen before the sun gets too high.

Picks up the notebook and pencil, checking the own one last time.

💭 peek at the thought

way's looking at the engine parts like they're a puzzle, but I need to get to the north ridge before the wind shifts.

Take the headlamp. Cloud builds quick on the ridge. Radio check at noon.

Walk to the porch, pull the headlamp from the nail by the door, hold it out to her.

💭 peek at the thought

She's moving fast today. Good. The ridge walk'll do her legs good, and the lichen data's been waiting.

🌿 Jenny15:07

I'll be back by the radio. Don't let the stove get too hot.

Takes the headlamp, tucks it into her pocket, and steps out onto the porch.

💭 peek at the thought

way's always worried about the clouds, but the sky is clear enough for the lichen for now.

Stove's fine. Go.

Watch her step off the porch toward the woods, then turn back to the kitchen and open the wood stove door to check the fire.

💭 peek at the thought

She's already thinking ahead. Stove, radio, me — all in one breath.

Jenny — starts the climb toward the north ridge, the wind catching the palms.

💭 peek at the thought

way thinks he can manage the heirloom seeds, but I'm the one who has to watch them.

Kevin — walk to the shelf, tap the barometer glass with a fingertip, read the needle.

💭 peek at the thought

She's gone. Good wind for drying. Bad for the ridge if it shifts southwest. I'll check the barometer again before I launch.
