We had had it. We needed fire, trees and water. There wasn't enough time to go, but we did. Kieran drove to Detroit Lake ahead of me as I was still at work at the liquor store until 7pm. I made my way there in the dark, and was finally relaxed at 10, sitting by the fire, with some Weller 107 at my side. It has been such a struggle and a pressure to coordinate buildouts, materials and paperwork (Don't EVER forget a comma on your bond application). We cooked up porterhouse steaks over the fire and Kieran's favorite combination, Beans and corn.
The morning brought the realization that there was no more fire and we hatched the idea to build one survival style: Wood on wood friction. Good thing I happened to have a cordless drill in my truck...
We arrived back in Portland late for a meeting, but a little more refreshed for the onslaught of work that lay ahead.
