Thursday
The winter storms are far from over.
Last night's wind and rain was ferocious.
20 m.p.h. winds
Big thunder, and lightning, too
10 a.m.
The skies cleared for a couple hours, long enough for a Thursday work party.
Janet went up to cut blackberries off the trails.
Tom G brought his truck. Prescott and Pete climbed in to haul asphalt shingles (freebies) for the second tool shed.
Two wooden student's chairs showed up with the shingle run; don't have the exact story of their history (the chairs' history)
I made chicken and veggie soup, and a pot of coffee with half and half for lunch. The conversation was lively, and interesting, even with the cool breeze on the pavilion. I like what happens when people are fed!
Pete did the dishes, after re-setting the locking gizmo on the gate he built for the garden.
The solar frig needs more sun to keep the battery charged; we will need to unload the frig and use our coolers (and not the frig) until we get more sun.
6 p.m.
The monthly Tilth Council meeting happened, and Pete was in attendance. I drove him to the meeting (so I could have the car, just in case); Fred gave Pete a ride home.
Our role as Co-Caretakers is developing:

Our role as Co-Caretakers is developing:
- Pete's submitted a list of projects (building a kiosk/information board; completing the tool shed; setting up the water metering system ... ) and
- Moki's request to be reimbursed for the ingredients used for Thursday work parties. Result: our monthly $100 'rent' check was returned (an act of reciprocity).
- Our electricity use (reflected in the utility bill) wasn't available yet; we'll pay that monthly.
Strong winds continue from the southeast ...
