This tree saw me finally make progress on my new storage shed structure thingy, which replaces the one crushed by the giant snowball last winter.
First I got a level and square platform on Sunday. Then I put up a first wall yesterday. The stuff on the platform in front of that wall-frame is just a way of stacking my materials so things stay more-or-less dry as the rain is slated to return tomorrow.

This tree got prepared for its next career, as atmospheric carbon. I helped.

This tree is surrounded by a protective tree-cage that I implemented. It’s the same oak as I posted the other day, which I am hoping to save from the malicious tree-eaters roaming our forest.

This tree in the foreground is a young oak tree I was trying to grow. It was doing well. It has been outdoors all summer, it had lots of leaves. I planted it in the ground about 5 weeks ago. Last night, some forest beast (I’m assuming a deer) came along and ate all its leaves, leaving only a few. I’m not sure it can survive this.

This tree witnessed boat and cloud.
[daily log: walking, 4km; dogwalking, 3km]
This tree was alongside a road with a dog on it.
I spent the last 2 days trying to repair the wash down pump on the boat. I figured out that the pump actually still worked fine. And switch worked fine. The fuse seemed to have some problem, and there was something wrong with the electrical wiring. So I rewired stuff, bypassing what seemed to be the bad wiring and making a new branch off the wiring that provides power to the left-side downrigger.
It works – we can spray seawater in the boat, once again.

This tree was behind a bright red flower that finally realized it could bloom.
Arthur saw his follow-up with the cardiologist, today. Frankly, it was a bit anticlimactic – basically, the message boiled down to: “more data required, meanwhile just monitor things closely.”
The doctor placed a lot of emphasis on introspection – Arthur needs to pay close attention to how his pulse correlates with his general level of energy, his capacity for exertion, etc. Like that’s gonna happen – Arthur isn’t at all introspective (at least, to external appearances). I’m not sure Arthur even understood what the doctor meant in using the word “introspection”. Keep a diary? (The doctor actually suggested that). I had to suppress a snort of cynicism.
Well, to quote a common Arthurism: it will be what it will be.

This tree was there as I began work on my new storage shed – let’s call it “studio 2.0”, since the original “studio” was crushed by a giant snowball last winter.

This tree hangs out at the cosmopolitan Frank Peratrovich Airport, just north of Klawock.
We took my other uncle, Alan, to the airport for his return to his home in Colorado, this morning. The skies had cleared remarkably.

This tree saw the moon through heavy fog at 4:45 AM. It was quite dark, so I got a low-quality photo, but with today’s cameras, it still works out fine.

This tree is a guest tree from my past. I took this picture of a sunset looking west on Teheran-no, a major thoroughfare in the trendy Gangnam district in Seoul, in December, 2008.
