Caveat: Tree #1372 “A tree unlike any other”
This tree is in front of a mountain that’s covered in clouds across the water which you can’t actually see.
I’m still not feeling so great – but I’m better than yesterday. Arthur stayed in bed for 35 hours straight. But he was up and about again today. So I think the worst of the vaccination hangover is over.

Caveat: Tree #1370 “The sea rises”
This tree was near a very high tide.
Today Arthur and I both got both flu and covid booster (so-called “bivalent, AKA 3rd booster) vaccinations. I’m expecting to have a rather feverish weekend, as my immune system tries to make sense of the invasion.

Caveat: Tree #1369 “Sedes koreanis”
This tree is a guest tree from my past. It was a tree (among other trees) I saw in the forest on the north side Gobong mountain, in my home in Korea, in October, 2014. I saw semi-abandoned chairs there, which are ubiquitous in rural South Korea.

Caveat: Tree #1359 “The new shed”
This tree was nearby when I did some more work on my little storage-shed-slash-greenhouse thingy (“studio 3.0”).
Art was feeling a bit better today, and so I felt comfortable walking with the dog and then later working outside a bit. He’s completely past nausea as far as I can tell, but he’s struggling (and staggering) with the dizziness/vertigo, still.

It is an unpleasant thing. I took this picture in March, 2010.

The boat has been uploaded into the barn. Art and I took the last step, running some anti-corrosion goop through the motors, put it the rest of the way in, and shut the door. The boat is trapped for the winter.
Also, too, happy Foundation Day – a type of Korean holiday.

Caveat: Tree #1345 “Board”
This tree was cut into boards by Fred, one of our neighbors-down-the-road. I acquired them from Fred and drove them home hanging out the back of the Blueberry (Chevy Tahoe). I will use them for some project. It was raining a lot.
Here is the pile of ex-tree, somewhat blurry.
Meanwhile, Arthur and I ended a week-long saga of trying to get the boat out of the water, finally with success, helped by another neighbor, Brant (the new owner of the house-that-burned-down, next door, up visiting his property briefly). We had several different mechanical problems on trying to pull the boat out. Monday we had wheels that wouldn’t turn. Thursday we fixed the wheels, but then on Friday, we had problems with too much wind, and a broken tie-down rope. I fixed the tie-down ropes this morning, and we got it out, with an extra pair of eyes/hands to make sure things went right.
The boat, before and after.
