Fri. July 14, 2023 – Windy and hot

Hot, humid, and windy too. That’s today at the BOL. Wind was crazy last night, blowing steady 5-10mph with significant gusts beyond that. Couldn’t keep a lantern lit on the dock last night. At 84F it was pleasant for my radio and tiny little fire.

Got my morning stuff done, and eventually got out of the house and on my way yesterday. Had D1 and the dog in the truck so my pack was a bit different. Not as much stuff coming up here loaded into the back.

Got here and installed the stairs. Had help from my fisherman friend, with the main work done by the block and fall. Stairs fit without modification. Spooky how my life works sometimes. They aren’t perfectly suited to the job, but are more than merely adequate. A bit longer with a few more steps would have been ideal, but hey, they’re in, I didn’t have to build them, and they will be fine for as long as we need them. I have a little bit of fine tuning to do for the bottom landing, and some lights would be nice, but I got really freaking lucky with them.

Today will be electrical work on the dock. I think I have a plan and all the stuff I need. If it goes well, hooray. If not, we’ll plug away and do what we can. After the electrical, it’ll be time to do some plumbing for sprinklers.

There is plenty to do. I did add some frozen food to the stacks up here, and some more paper products. There were a few medical supplies as well.

Keep working on somewhere to go if you have to get out of Dodge. Keep stacking.
