Apart — Kevin at the dock, Jenny at the garden

Midday Stasis

Kevin is at the dock while Jenny is in the garden.

Kevin spends the midday inspecting the Yanmar engine mounts to isolate the source of the vibration despite the true prop shaft. Jenny checks the garden, ensuring the shade cloth is securely staked down against the dry dry season heat.

🔧 Kevin — alone at the dock

You sit on the edge of the dock planks, watching the air shimmer over the salt-crust.

🔧 Kevin12:18

Kevin — walk to the cottage for water and a moment in the shade, then fetch the greenheart sister beam and galvanized spikes from the workshop to reinforce the dock mooring ring before the tide turns.

💭 peek at the thought

The heat’s getting in my bones, and the dock’s still weak where the ring bites into the piling. I should’ve started on that sister beam this morning instead of waiting for Jenny to test the rot.

🔧 Kevin12:22

Kevin — carry the greenheart sister beam and galvanized spikes down to the dock, position the beam alongside the compromised piling where the mooring ring mortise has rotted through, and start driving spikes through the beam into sound timber below

💭 peek at the thought

Greenheart's heavy but it'll outlast the rot. Spikes'll hold if I drive them deep enough into sound wood past the punk.

🌿 Jenny — alone at the garden

You adjust the shade cloth to ensure no sun isn't scorching the soil.

🌿 Jenny12:20

Jenny — carefully adjust the edges of the shade cloth, tucking the fabric deeper into the soil to block the midday glare.

💭 peek at the thought

The heat is oppressive today. If the soil surface bakes, the moisture will just wick away and the seeds will roast before they even think about waking up.

🌿 Jenny12:24

Jenny — sink down onto the dirt beside the bed and stare at the soil, tracing the lines of the tarp with a finger.

💭 peek at the thought

I'm starving, but the thought of moving my ankle back to the cottage feels like a mountain. I just want to see one green shoot.
