Step 2 - a buddy system in the fields, if one person takes a break, everyone takes a break. Plenty of cool drinks and electrolytes. Quick trip to the corner store is time and money we’ll spent. Fieldwork getting cut off at 10:30 - switch to shade and low stress activities for the balance of the AM.

Step 5 - Ocean I do a lackluster job of joining the family at the beach many summers. Quick trip to cool off and reset the body temperature.

Step 6 - toughest part of a mid afternoon beach day (it was 91 degrees at the beach, and ocean was 65 degrees), is returning just a few miles inland where heat hasn’t fully broke for the day and you start getting hot again. https://farcaster.xyz/brixbounty/0x0b908ea8

Step 7 After returning to the farm to rewet burlap yet again it was still a bit toasty… So we extended the “break” with a frappe run; mint chocolate chip from the corner store/dairy. They use Giffords ice cream which is a very solid commercial ice cream with good quality chips.

Step 8 Burlap did a phenomenal job keeping veggies fresh - in total we stopped to rewet the burlap four times today 8, 11:30, 2:30, & 6. Effort was well worth it, as crops were in good shape for the last customers of the day, and we always carry over a few veggies to start the next day. Pictured here purple fusion lettuce just before 6PM & bilko napa cabbage after dark. Evening was spent picking up a few rock piles and mowing ahead of some fence work tomorrow, and moving CSA produce to the stand for sale tomorrow. Ended the field day at a reasonable hour; then spent 15 minutes mapping out our Wednesday. Time for some sodium loading for tomorrow; hope the crew took our advice to intake electrolytes in quantity for the next day of sweat.
