Today was the day, finished up my design, presented (received a few corrections), watched all the other designs(which were really good, I got to see all of the different ideas for the same land), then we put on the talent show where I gave a short speech.

I know there was video taken of the whole thing. Maybe it will be put out someday soon.

Now all of us can relax. The work is done, tonight we're have'n a party.

This morning was a bear, I got up early to drop off a friend at the airport and got back at 5. Couldn't sleep, then I slept until 9.

I didn't need to do much today. Just had some laundry. Finished that early, then I cleaned up the kitchen a bit. A few plates, wiped off the counter. Pretty soon I just cleaned the whole damn place. Two weeks of mad dash cooking required some time.

Finished the day going for a swim and making dinner with Nine and Pierre. Going to sleep well tonight.

Being at the creek never gets old. The sound is relaxing.

If you do it right, you can stand under the wash and have the whole flow wash over you.

First day of the PTJ today. I'm having a hard time choosing which projects I want to try.

I'm starting with the rocket powered sauna. I want to help get this one done then try out some of the shorter projects.

We are starting with the old skidable kitchen platform. It already has a roof, good skids, and a deck. Now we have to enclose it with walls, add a wall inside, and put in two doors. We made good progress on the walls. Everyone was working well together.

I finished up the day with a swim at the creek.

It is going to be extremely hot this week. I'm planning on going swimming every night to cool off.

A very busy day here. Erik, Greyson, and I got the sauna walls framed out. We are a bit ahead of schedule. I am hoping to get the sauna done early so I can jump over to other cool stuff that's going on.

There is a repair cafe session this week and fermenting stuff next week I want to go to.
