Apart — Kevin at the dock, Jenny at the garden

Crate recovery and Yanmar load test

Kevin is at the dock preparing the dinghy for crate recovery; Jenny is at the garden organizing heirloom seed packets for planting.

No narrator was available, so nothing about this stretch was recorded.

🔧 Kevin — alone at the dock

You stand in the dinghy, checking the engine mount bolts one last time before the load test. The crate rests on wet sand twenty meters off the bow, exposed by the falling tide. You grip the starter cord, feeling the frayed end where it snapped yesterday.

🔧 Kevin10:23

Kevin — pull the starter cord, engage the Yanmar, let it warm at idle while checking the mount bolts for movement

💭 peek at the thought

The starter cord's frayed end won't take many more pulls. Need to replace it before the supply boat comes — if it comes. Crate's sitting clean on sand now. One good heave with the dinghy's bow line and we'll have it up the beach.

🔧 Kevin10:26

Kevin — engage forward gear, advance throttle to half, hold course toward the crate while watching the tach and feeling for vibration through the tiller and deck

💭 peek at the thought

Engine's running clean at idle — no vibration through the mounts, no smoke. Oil pressure steady. Time to put some load on it and see if that faint shake above half throttle is gone or just hiding.

🌿 Jenny — alone at the garden

You sit cross-legged on the garden path, newspaper spread across your knees, separating tomato and pepper packets with clean edges from the three mold-compromised ones. The shade cloth snaps above the tomato rows. Your ankle throbs a dull, distant rhythm.

🌿 Jenny10:22

Jenny — make notebook page: heirloom seed viability assessment - tomato/pepper packets separated, 3 compromised packets bagged for burning

💭 peek at the thought

The infection's holding - no heat, no spread. Just the throb. I can plant these tomorrow if I'm careful with the spacing.

Jenny — walk slowly to the cottage to check the pantry for corned beef.

💭 peek at the thought

I'm starving. Limpets aren't enough for a full day's work, and my head is starting to swim.
