Pine cones for supper.





Tiring day. Up at 5:40am, got all my light data from the Monterey Pine Expanding front site 1 today, and got a great start on the second site, although I was held up by a pernicious and evil setting sun that knew the degree of my willpower to continue working in the face of "wow". Kickin some ass on the sites and started setting up my ECM site number 1. You get into the field to set this up and it sure is easier in theory. No problem with the physical setup, but it's all pretty subjective in terms of deciding the best site. One site has this attribute that would be great, another has this. In an ideal world, right? Getting as many seedlings and saplings in each site as possible has now nearly doubled the size of my site...and so double the workload. I think I've got it figured out and will just hope for the best results...which sorely will not be completely known for probably 3-6 months and only with a good deal of work and time. Kristin spotted some dolphins...we're pretty sure, we just saw the fins...and we watched them swim around for some time. I started burning on my side during midday and just kept working, finally took a look and "how do you do mr. tick". Nasty rash, but I removed the sucker and the burn soon subsided. Kristin cooked a killer pasta meal and we finished it off with some fresh pineapple. Delish. I don't eat fresh pineapple nearly enough. Time for bed. Kristin is crashed out and I'm up early again. G'night all.
