A quick update to let you know that Cliff lived through the night and is back in this world with us. Last evening he felt well enough to make a couple of eggs for his supper. By nine o'clock fatigue overtook him again and he went to bed. We think he ran a fever in the night because he was soaked with sweat at one point in his sleep.

I went through both batteries before quitting late morning so my arms and clothes were covered with wet grass shards but it felt good to get that under control. And............ I got to use my new outside shower for the first time. There is still work to be done. Ricky will pressure clean the platform for me t...
