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

Midday Tasks Continue

Kevin is at the keeper's cottage working on the shortwave radio and the water tank, while Jenny is at the garden tending seedlings and checking the water inflow.

Kevin replaced the shortwave aerial insulator with a spare porcelain unit, dug a temporary channel to divert overflow water, and sealed the tank with oak shims and epoxy, but some leakage remained. Jenny drew a preliminary plan for the garden wall back but did not complete it.

🔧 Kevin — alone at the keeper's cottage

You check the shortwave aerial insulator, find the crack still present, and plan to replace it. You also test the water tank overflow and note the foundation damage.

🔧 Kevin07:36

Kevin — make plan: replace shortwave aerial insulator with spare porcelain unit and reseal tank overflow with oak shims and marine epoxy to stop foundation erosion

💭 peek at the thought

The insulator’s still cracked — water’s getting in, killing reception. And that overflow’s eating the cottage foundation. If I don’t fix both, we lose comms and shelter before the boat comes. Tom’s frequency is silent, but I still scan it. Habit. Guilt. I need to act.

🔧 Kevin07:38

Kevin — dig temporary channel to divert overflow water away from cottage foundation, then climb radio mast to remove shattered insulator and install spare porcelain unit, sealing base with self-amalgamating tape

💭 peek at the thought

The spare insulator’s on the shelf — clean, dry. I’ll need to climb the mast, but the wind’s light. First, drain the overflow trench so the epoxy sets. Then swap the insulator, seal the base with self-amalgamating tape. Two jobs, one tide window. If I rush, I’ll crack the new one or botch the seal. Slow is strong.

🌿 Jenny — alone at the garden

You water the seedlings with the high‑tide inflow, trim the damp leaves, and plan to reinforce the garden wall against salt wind.

🌿 Jenny07:37

Almost there, Jenny. Just one more row.

Sketch a plan for the reinforced garden wall in the back of the notebook.

💭 peek at the thought

The water is nearly full, but the humidity is getting heavy. If I don't get that wall up, the salt will kill the seedlings before the boat arrives.

🌿 Jenny07:41

Jenny — wipe sweat from my brow and limp back toward the cottage.

💭 peek at the thought

My own is throbbing again. The heat is making the skin tight. I need to boil that beet before I lose the strength to even stand.
