The alarm will rouse me tomorrow morning at 6:00 am. I will be on the road by 6:30 at the latest. I have rented a 2010 white ford focus for the occasion. The car has shitty wipers and handles like a go-cart. Luckily the weather looks promising.
My breakfast will be 1 egg, a toast, and some left over baked oatmeal. I have baked a fresh loaf of whole wheat bread and will make my lunch with it and some farmers market summer sausage, aged Gouda cheese, 2 apples and 2 Litres of water and thermos of coffee.
I will arrive at my grandparents’ house for morning tea close to 8:30 -9:00am. The visit will last 2 or three hours. My grandma recently suffered a massive heart attack while I was in a different part of the country. I have not seen her since as the M1 started the day I flew home. I am very much looking forward to seeing her and my grandfather.
My Uncle John will fetch me from my grandparents’ house around 11:00am. Together we will drive to the mill, arriving around 11:30am. I have packed, 2 pairs of wool socks, work boots, 2 pairs of gloves, a newly purchased Thinsulate toque and a full body micro-fleece long underwear.
My tools are as follows:
A tri-pod,
1 sketchbook,
1 -UW digital SLR,
A beater Panasonic digital camera.
A Mac powerbook computer,
2- 100' tapes,
A 25' tape.
2 sharpie markers.
4 pens (2-black of different weights, 1 blue for site notes, and 1 red for dimensions)
John has warned me that it takes him about 3-4 hours to do a full tour, it will take me an additional 2 hours to measure the building, and mill pond + and hour or two to sketch, hopefully I can used the tour to do most of the photography. He may also have some two-person jobs that he has reserved specifically for my visit.
It’s going to be a great day.
