Up 6:15, breakfast was mixed veggies on rice. Couldn’t eat all of it even after requesting a “smaller portion”. The gang put the first coat of paint on the battery boxes. I continued reading “Gulp” until we were ready to go about 8:00. Brandon has a head cold and was going to take the morning off. When we got the first panel on the roof it became obvious the bracket wasn’t going to fit and it needed to be taken back down to be drilled. It looked like rain was coming so we got everybody off the roof and finished drilling the panels. The threat of rain passed and we had the first panel bolted on the roof by a bit after 11 but it is only held by the top rail. The second panel is up by noon but both still need to be drilled for the bottom rail. We decided to push on and take a late lunch so we could finish all the roof stuff here. It isn’t a nice roof to work on. All roof work is done as of about 1:00. Back for lunch, beans and rice, no meat. Tasted ok, I was hungry. The rest of the afternoon is painting the battery boxes, I just spent most the time reading. I managed to get a bucket shower in about 5:00, the first time when it was still light out. Dinner was zebu and rice. This time the meat was a better cut, almost like steak. One thing I forgot to mention is for every meal the only utensil you get is a rather large spoon. I ended up picking up pieces of meat and chewing them apart. They ran the generator for a couple of hours tonight so I charged the iPad and the Canon battery. After a bunch of conversation, I took my malaria pill, brushed my teeth, and headed up to the loft. It is only 8:15 or so but most everybody has crashed.
