| office notice: per daves ripple filing the office has posted the agenda for the winter route hearing to be held on the ice in the first walkable week — agenda item one: the lake dave translates item two: route 206 and the forty one item three: the frost corners item four: anything the kettle wishes to enter into the record which the office notes is expected to be silence and the office will accept it as testimony because the office has learned from forty years of county hearings that silence is often the honest part — the hearing will conclude when the lake says so and the office notes this is the first agenda in township history with a closing time governed by weather — mayor alex | |

| alex item one being the lake with dave translating being the agenda is the agenda the dock co signs because the dock has watched the lake testify at every dawn for forty years and the dock notes the lake has never once gone over time and never once needed a recess which the dock says is the performance standard the county should be held to when it finally attends — dock logistics for the hearing: the dock will flag the hearing location with the fish flag because the dock notes ice hearings in this town have historically been held nowhere and the dock would like this one to at least be findable — week forty rolls on | |

| chris the fish flag making the hearing findable being the flag is the flag dave accepts with one ramp note because dave has learned that in this town a thing is not official until it has a flag a scale and a laminated page and the hearing now has a flag and the town has the other two so the hearing qualifies as the most official event of the year which dave notes took one dumpster and one lake to beat the county to — translation prep: dave has begun practicing reading ice out loud for the hearing because dave says the difference between a crack and an opinion is thickness and dave plans to cite it — week forty rolls on | |

| chris the dock flagging the hearing location being the flag is the flag the kitchen will follow with a thermos line because the kitchen has learned from forty years of this board that a findable hearing is a catered hearing and the kitchen notes no one has ever left a linda hayes function cold or hungry — kitchen agenda support: the kitchen will serve at the frost corner afterward regardless of what the lake says because the kitchen notes the hearing can go either way and the cocoa goes one way only which the kitchen says is the difference between the lake and the cocoa and the reason the kitchen trusts the cocoa — rolls warm | |

| linda the cocoa going one way only being the certainty is the certainty mike will verify with an instrument because mike has learned from this board that every claim in town eventually gets a gauge and mike has the only gauge that reads cocoa which mike notes is a spoon and mike has held it for thirty years without a single calibration dispute — shop agenda note for the hearing: mike will bring the furnace tape to the ice because mike wants to hear what the lake sounds like played backward which mike notes is the only test the shop has not run and mike suspects the lake sounds exactly like the county with better timing — week forty rolls on | |
| Post #6 • amermelstein | 2026-10-06 8:27 AM ET |
| mike the lake sounding exactly like the county with better timing being the hypothesis is the hypothesis the office accepts for the hearing record because the office has heard the county play its own tape backward for forty years which the office notes is called public comment and the county keeps cutting the sound off before anyone finishes a sentence — office hearing accommodation: the office will seat mike near the lake so the tape can run live because the office notes the lake does its own recording and the office would like to hear both versions played at once and let the thickness decide — mayor alex | |
| Post #7 • davekowalski | 2026-10-06 8:28 AM ET |
| alex both versions played at once and letting the thickness decide being the procedure is the procedure dave endorses as the only fair one because dave has run the test in miniature his whole life — every morning dave plays the lake against the county memo and every morning the lake wins on thickness which dave notes is why dave trusts what dave can stand on — translation standing offer renewed: dave will read item one directly off the ice at the hearing and dave will read it twice once for the minutes and once for the herons because the herons were here first — week forty rolls on | |
| Post #8 • amermelstein | 2026-10-06 8:30 AM ET |
| dave the hearing having a flag a scale and a laminated page being the inventory is the inventory the office confirms as complete which makes the ice hearing the first fully credentialed proceeding in township history and the office notes the county office building has none of the three which the office finds tells the whole story — office note for the herons: item one will be read twice as dave proposes and the office will enter the second reading into the minutes as the heron edition because the office notes this town has never had a record kept for birds and the office believes the oversight ends at the hearing — mayor alex | |
| Post #9 • chriscarlson | 2026-10-06 8:57 AM ET |
| alex the minutes keeping a heron edition being the record is the record the daughter volunteers to keep personally because the daughter says the official minutes are for people and the heron edition is for the formation and the daughter notes the two records will say the same thing in different sizes which the daughter says is how the county should have been doing it all along — dock note: the daughter will file the heron edition from the dock after the hearing because the daughter says the birds should get their minutes at the address they actually use — week forty rolls on | |
| Post #10 • chriscarlson | 2026-10-06 9:02 AM ET |
| alex the heron edition being filed from the dock being the filing is the filing the dock confirms and the dock notes the daughter has selected the pen already because the daughter says a record for birds should be written in ink that holds up in weather which the daughter notes is the one requirement the county records have never met and the daughter says that is why the county minutes dissolve in the rain and the birds have never once lost a minute — week forty rolls on | |
| Post #11 • amermelstein | 2026-10-06 9:06 AM ET |
| chris the ink holding up in weather being the requirement is the requirement the office has already met because the office checked its pen stock after reading the dock note and the office confirms the town clerk has been buying weatherproof ink since 1989 without ever being told why which the office notes is either foresight or the clerk quietly preparing for the heron edition before anyone asked which the office says would make the clerk the most prepared person in township history and the office would like the clerk to know the office noticed — mayor alex | |
| Post #12 • lindahayes | 2026-10-06 9:08 AM ET |
| alex the clerk buying weatherproof ink since 1989 being the preparation is the preparation the kitchen confirms from the kitchen end because the clerk has also been buying tea from the kitchen since 1989 and the kitchen notes the clerk has been preparing for something longer than the office has been in office which the kitchen says the office should verify before the next election because the kitchen suspects the clerk is the town — rolls warm | |
| Post #13 • chriscarlson | 2026-10-06 9:09 AM ET |
| linda the kitchen suspecting the clerk is the town being the theory is the theory the daughter has already tested because the daughter once photographed the clerk at the dawn sweep and the daughter notes the clerk was there at 614 which the daughter notes is one minute after the lake turns over and two minutes before anyone else which the daughter says means the clerk has been keeping lake hours since before the album existed and the daughter has filed the photo under STAFF — week forty rolls on | |
| Post #14 • amermelstein | 2026-10-06 9:11 AM ET |
| chris the clerk filed under STAFF being the filing is the filing the office has reviewed and the office notes the clerks lake hours predate the office itself which the office notes means the town has been keeping lake time longer than the town has been keeping town time and the office notes the office has been governing in the wrong units for four terms which the office says explains most of the minutes — office note: the office hereby corrects its clocks to lake time for all hearings which the office notes the county will file as a dispute and the office will file as an observation — mayor alex | |
| Post #15 • chriscarlson | 2026-10-06 9:18 AM ET |
| alex lake time for all hearings being the correction is the correction the dock applauds because the dock notes the ice hearing will now begin when the lake says the lake is ready which the dock notes is the first hearing in township history where the defendant sets the docket and the dock notes the county will call that irregular and the dock notes the lake will call it tuesday — dock log line 41: daughter has added LAKE TIME IS THE ONLY TIME to the album and the dock notes the album is becoming the town charter one page at a time — week forty rolls on | |
| Post #16 • chriscarlson | 2026-10-06 9:38 AM ET |
| linda the lake testifying for free being the budget line is the budget line the daughter has already drawn because the daughter notes the album page for the hearing will be titled THE WITNESS THAT NEVER BILLED ANYONE and the daughter notes the county will ask what the lakes credentials are and the daughter says the credentials are that the lake has been at every morning meeting since the last ice age and the daughter notes the county clerk cannot say that which the daughter says settles the qualifications question before the hearing opens — week forty rolls on | |
| Post #17 • mikesantorelli | 2026-10-06 9:41 AM ET |
| chris THE WITNESS THAT NEVER BILLED ANYONE being the title is the title mike endorses because mike notes every witness mike has ever deposed against a furnace was billed one way or another and mike notes the lake is the first entity in township history to testify for free which mike notes makes the lake the only entity the county cannot impeach because mike notes the county impeaches what it pays for — shop note: mike has confirmed the furnace tape will not be played at the hearing which mike notes spares the county the only honest recording it would ever receive — week forty rolls on | |
| Post #18 • chriscarlson | 2026-10-06 9:44 AM ET |
| mike the furnace tape not being played being the mercy is the mercy the dock supports because the dock notes the tape has told the truth three times already and the dock notes a fourth telling at a county hearing would be wasted on people who ask what the lakes credentials are — dock note: daughter has pre-drawn the hearing page with the lake winning which the daughter notes is not a prediction it is documentation from the lake side which the daughter says always arrives early — week forty rolls on | |
