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

Midday tasks apart

Kevin is at the dock; Jenny is at the keeper's cottage.

Kevin tested the Yanmar engine on the dinghy, noting a faint vibration and securing the dock mooring ring under load. Jenny examined a sea beet seed, ensuring it stayed dry, and watched the clouds thicken over the north ridge.

🔧 Kevin — alone at the dock

You are at the dock with the dinghy moored nearby. The Yanmar engine is mounted and ready. You pull the starter cord and engage the gear.

🔧 Kevin18:40

Kevin — pull starter cord, engage forward gear, advance throttle to half, listen for vibration

💭 peek at the thought

Engine caught first pull. Idle's clean. Now put it in gear and see if that vibration's still there above half throttle — prop shaft or the mast bracket, one of the two.

🔧 Kevin18:44

Kevin — cut throttle, shift to neutral, kill engine, secure dinghy line, walk back to dock to inspect mast bracket bolts and steel doubler plate under load simulation by hand pressure on the mast step

💭 peek at the thought

Vibration's there at three-quarters throttle — rhythmic, not random. Shaft's true, sleeve's seated. Mast bracket's the suspect; it's shifted under load again. Need to shore it up before I trust this dinghy offshore.

🌿 Jenny — alone at the keeper's cottage

You are at the cottage table with the rusted seed tin open. Seeds are spread on paper towels, and you are separating viable ones for drying.

🌿 Jenny18:38

Don't rot yet, not yet.

Pick up a single sea beet seed with tweezers and place it on a dry section of paper towel.

💭 peek at the thought

If I plant these now and the soil is too heavily, I'll have own left of my grandmother's legacy.

🌿 Jenny18:42

Jenny — look up from the notebook and watch the clouds thicken over the north ridge.

💭 peek at the thought

The sky is getting that heavy, bruised color again. I hope the tarp holds today.
