No welding today - just measuring and cutting all the parts for the last 8 joists. Got enough full length purlin for all but two that will have to be grafted from shorter pieces. Did some chores with the Mt. McKennites then did a run out to the waterboxx experiment north of me. Two plants still surviving out of 32 starts... a palo verde and an acacia. All of the waterboxxes were pretty low on water - 8 of them dry. Replenished the reservoirs for the two still growing.

Spotted another new burrito with his mama then a sick bird on my porch. I moved the bird to the shade of the courtyard and put out some water but it died a half hour later. 96,108,74,0,B
