The first: Emmett and I are planning to expand the barn with some wood reclaimed from the old shed. This is a project I intend to work on in my free time, so I do not anticipate it to interfere with any of my ongoing or future obligations. I trust your judgment on what needs to be escalated to Roswell or otherwise. I do not believe this is such a thing that requires escalation, for what it is worth.
The second: I prepared and delivered a statement of work regarding restoration of the wind farm to Whitney. I also prepared a copy of the same which I gave to Roswell. The ball is now in Whitney's court, so to speak, on what they decide to do.
[...] [...] [...] And relatedly, I think it was a mistake to put me in charge of this project. Not the work itself, I am confident I can deliver on that front. But [...] interfacing with Whitney. I do not think I am suited. [...] I have thought about this over the past few days, and getting the wind farm back online is important to me, too important for me to get in the way of myself. This is not just an opportunity for Whitney to have more reliable power, but an opportunity to innervate all of Meagher Valley with electricity, and potentially beyond. No one has ever designed a wind farm to power just one thing, after all. Even if it means lighting the highway at night again, success in this endeavor can bring about good things for many people. [...] Yet I am incapable of interacting in ordinary conversation in any way that appeals. I think I am already getting in the way of myself and this project. I will poison what can otherwise be a positive relationship between our communities. I do not know how to prevent this other than to remove myself. So it would serve everyone better if you were the face of this operation, Gideon. People like to talk to you. Mara will like to talk to you. Let me do the work and remain in the background. [...] Please.
