Another full day of fun and surprise.  Starting the day out with an alarm that didn't go off, one of the best little known high alt views in west Montana and ending with a hoora power outage kind of bunco party with a side of WWE cat carnival.  

A fine Saturday and one to be remembered.

Go with the flow that only you know, and consider the rest as sketchy at best. Far be it from me to try and turn moss into a tree - for moss has a beauty same as carpet has a duty. Call me Apple, I require a minimum number of chill hours to be fruitful and crush.

Round 3! What a thing.

Tell you what - if you are able to open the window and remove the visible contaminant, that'll get it desiccating. Then I'll probably be there sometime in the next year, and I'll be able to restuff the vacancy.

It's been dry for so long maybe it needed that long to get the essential stuff to produce again.

Nothin' to it but to do it - Ehhhxcept motivation, cooperation, empathy, multi-level thinking and the enthusiasm to start today to make a tomorrow.  Isn't rhetoric neat!

A solid day,  Ive been handed (again maybe) lead on the pump house project and I'm sincerely stoked about getting elbow deep with a round timber project from the get go.  After all, I came to Wheaton labs because accumulating knowledge without applying it in action is just that - eternal blobs of simulation composed of potential false-positives.  Taking the materials one has around them and converting them into structures and devices with skill and a keen wit is where it's at and should.  It's all pretty, genuinely exciting.

The afternoon was composed as usual of watering the hugles.  My road cuces which shouldn't exist, probably thanks to the complete compost and a few bush beans that managed to survive.  I'm most impressed with the almost out of reach hugel that's growing a couple outstanding tomatoe plants Grey worked to get there.  If you told me anything was going to grow on that particular arid sandy mound or at least more than weeds, I would have, well, put you in the magical thinker binder.

If it wasn't an interesting enough day I came back to cooper past the, now Cooper kittens, not thinking a thing.  To keep a long and potentially boring story as least common denominator(short) as possible - a special effort to extract said remnant of a goofy spartan momo was made.  I learned a couple things: 1-  It's a tough road for a single mom and definitely in the animal world where might/size is always right.  When your dealing with Momo juniors and they become too big to grab by the scruff of the neck it's even harder.  2 - if your going to have to man handle kittens to extract them to saftey before dusk and the hungry things come out, grab them by the scruff of their neck.  If you dont it's like playing volleyball with a porcupine.  An hour and a half I'd rather have back but I'm a little more Steve Erwin for it at least.

I've never had a flu or a seasonal "bug" that left me recovering like I'd been beaten by an angry group of villagers with bamboo sticks for 3 days but there's a first time for everything.

Anyways, back at it and on with the show.  

Today was simple - fit more of the round timber pump house together and water the Abbey hugels. Luckily, we had a little help from nature with a nice shower.  Seems it confirmed my opinion somewhat that it wasn't just smoke in the air but rather precipitation and it helped knock the smoke down some as well.
