This tree was there as I added wall section 7 of 10 to the treehouse’s south wall.
I moved toward developing a kind of assembly line of parts for my wall sections, finally. That means the next sections after this one should go together faster – but I stopped today because it was quite chilly, overcast, and the rain started again at around 1 PM.
Here is a view of the south wall from the inside.

A somewhat stressful day.
I had a crisis on the map server last night and this morning, with the tool called “certbot” – a tool we use on the server to make sure the OGF webpages are secure (“https”). And that also caused problems with our automated emailing from the server, which supports functions like new user sign up, lost password recovery, and replication monitoring (making sure data goes over to the render and to overpass correctly). I had to shut down the server without much advance notice – I was worried the problem was worse than it was, and so I was trying to solve it quickly. So that was an issue for the users.
Meanwhile, we’re having a big storm here, weather-wise. The marine forecast was calling for 40-foot swells on the open ocean here, and up to 10-foot swells right on Bucareli Bay, at the mouth of Port Saint Nick.
Our neighbors-down-the-road, Fred and Pat, were concerned about the impact of high seas and wind on their boat, so they asked Art if they could park their commercial fishing craft at our dock. Of course we are happy to help – they’ve done it before – Arthur has the most sheltered dock of all of Port Saint Nick, because we are the farthest inland, at the head of the fjord. Anyway, it’s turnabout – Pat’s the one who rescued me when I got the blueberry (Art’s Chevy Tahoe) stuck in a snowbank a while back.
So Fred and Pat parked their big boat at the dock, after we moved Art’s smaller boat off to one side.
It’s very windy and rainy and blowy, right now.

This is pure “Alaska Gothic” in my opinion, and I enjoyed seeing this.

This tree is from my past. It grows amid some buddhist statuary I visited on the Korean island called Ulleungdo in September, 2009 – one of my favorite places in Korea. I took the photo with my old flip-phone, and you can see the time-stamp in the lower right.
