supermoon, Midnight oil

No matter how early we wake up, we still end up getting to the job site later than we want. The short days, long commute from the desert cabin to the dome and stopping and getting supplies slows us down. But rather than run out the door and grab diner fare, we enjoy the morning and cook breakfast and make coffee. Today, we weren't gonna let the dark chase us away. We doubled down on new batteries for the work light and a new led lantern. Along with the super moon rising, working a few hours after dark was beyond manageable, and mostly fun. The only bummer was our hose spray gun attachment has been slowly unhinging and releasing an unfortunate stream in the opposite direction as the gun points. The high winds made the wet shirt less comfortable, but inside the cozy dome, the thermal mass was slowly releasing the stored warmth of the days desert sunshine. Although I have no pictures today, to prove this, any reader of this blog knows we see impressive and awe inspiring animals out here on the regs. I asked Raquel what her spirit animal was going to be today, and she said hawk. As we parked, we didn't realize we were right under a large hawk who flew from the power line above us, to the one a hundred yards away when I shut the car door. I could see as plain as day, the large brown and white bird of prey was unmistakable.

We have been here for 15 minutes, the sun is going down.

I was sure this was a scorpion.

Testing the door fit, it is sooooooo nice.
