Morning Preparation

The tide continues to drop.

Kevin spends the morning inspecting the dock pilings and preparing for tomorrow's supply boat arrival. Jenny focuses on the garden, checking the heirloom seedlings and managing the fungal growth found in the pepper cells.

Jenny, I’m starting on the piling now. Low tide’s our window.

walk to the shed, grab the auger, maul, and greenheart plank, then head to the south piling at the dock.

💭 peek at the thought

The tide’s out further than I thought—south piling’s fully exposed, rotten core visible two feet down. No time to waste.

I'm going to the north ridge. I need to see the Carex before the heat peaks.

Pick up the notebook and the charcoal pencil, then walk toward the path leading to the ridge.

💭 peek at the thought

He thinks fixing the wood will stop the rot, but the salt is eating everything eventually. way logic is empty and the seeds are still in the tin.

Back before noon. Radio on channel 16 if anything changes.

set the auger bit against the piling's base, brace my shoulder, and start turning.

💭 peek at the thought

She's moving with purpose. Good. The ridge data's the last piece before the boat comes.

Jenny — major sweat from my brow and start the climb toward the north ridge.

💭 peek at the thought

He's always focused on the structure, while I'm looking at the chemistry of the soil that's failing.그런SAY: I'll keep the radio on.

(grunting) This piling’s gone further than we thought.

keep turning the auger, clearing the hole, then reach for the maul and the greenheart brace.

💭 peek at the thought

The auger bites—wood dust and salt sludge coming up. Halfway through the rot zone.

Jenny — wipe my hands on my jeans and keep walking toward the ridge.

💭 peek at the thought

he doesn't see the rot as deep as I do; the wood is just tired, like me. 그런SAY: way make sure it holds this time.

🔧 Kevin20:14

(to myself) Come on, hold.

position the greenheart plank in the augered hole, grip the maul, and swing—first strike to seat it.

💭 peek at the thought

Hole's clean. Greenheart's heavy—have to drive it true before the tide turns.

way you're doing good work. way you're doing good work.

pull the notebook from my pack and flip to the Carex sketches, then head up the narrow ridge path where the wild flora waits. </think>THOUGHT: He's working like a man possessed, hammering at wood while I'm trying to understand the language

💭 peek at the thought

He’s working like a man possessed, hammering at wood while I’m trying to understand the language of leaves. way the silence grows heavier between us.
