The Watson Board

Microsoft 365 high-severity alert Jul 27: account restricted from sending, flagged as potentially compromised. Still no follow-up anywhere in the mailbox.

Tractor Supply balances expire Oct 10, Oct 14, Nov 10 2026; Home Depot Jan 7 2027; PayPal Jan 11 2027. Cards were paid 2026-08-20 from the $45,000 gift; these expiries are moot once the payoffs post and balances confirm at $0.

Passed initial Arkansas LP Gas Board inspection ~Jul 7. Priming is about six weeks out — Adam's number, 2026-08-21. The "couple of weeks" Matt gave the insurance agent on Aug 19 was optimistic, and the rest of the schedule should be read against six, not two. 30,000 gal storage at 200–250 psi.

NextConfirm what actually gates the date

Used Agilent 7890A (S/N US10834043) reconfigured for ASTM D8613-25 LPG analysis. PO-00049 issued Aug 7; customer setup form returned Aug 14 and acknowledged — Cassie Hadley building the account.

NextDecide the carrier gas — asked Aug 10, still unanswered, and it is what Wasson is waiting on. Then GC building temp/moisture control and calibration standards

Resolved 2026-08-21: the quote is paid. The Aug 3 sign/recall confusion and the Sep 2 expiry are both moot. What remains is physical — the fire extinguishers are in Fort Smith and need collecting.

NextEmail sent 2026-08-21. Waiting on Jon Russell for a pickup time, then make the Fort Smith trip

Inspection punch list drove a documentation build — Safety & Maintenance Program, Quality Control Manual (draft Jul 31), master template + log index (Aug 2). Perry (LP Board) confirmed Class 8. Matt Pond driving. Confirmed 2026-08-21 that this needs Adam's input, not just Matt's — so the Aug 3 gap was a real stall, not a misfiled row.

NextWork through it this week

BWay CFO taking over books. Zoho One/Books access granted, M365 licenses at 5 Standard + 3 Basic, subscription payment failure fixed. Also confirmed as needing Adam this week.

NextComplete the Zoho ownership transfer back from Hunter

Not dead. Matt's search near Branch AR turned up a local contractor, and a quote is expected this week. The 59-day silence in the record was the vault missing an update, not the project stopping.

NextChase the quote if nothing has arrived by Friday

Drip legs, sintered filters, Y-strainers, 3000# stainless fittings, high-pressure hoses, FLAMMABLE/NO SMOKING signage (Tarantin, backordered). Justin doing interior fill-station work. No traffic this week.

NextConfirm what's still outstanding

Disputed $22,415 plus a 2021 delivery charge. Formal closeout letter sent Jul 22; no response. Decided 2026-08-21: write off the 250 cylinders. They are still sending monthly invoices and still not answering communications.

NextRecord the write-off; stop spending attention on it

Gravel & Grit, with the Franklin County & River Valley Coalition. FOIA to Arkansas DOC in flight via John Jackson. KATV interview Aug 18. Sen. Bryan King wrote Gov. Sanders Aug 19 urging immediate sale of the prison land; G&G is running a petition drive tied to that ask. Same county as the farm, the rental, and the GasLogix site.

NextRead JB Jackson's Aug 20 forward (1787241992433.pdf) — plausibly the FOIA return, still unopened. Then scope the petition drive: signature target, deadline, collection points, day-to-day owner. Also read the Aug-17-week coverage questioning whether the 3,000-bed plan is being cancelled

ArkCAN. Rob Wright recommended Directors & Officers coverage and has an agent lined up in Eureka. Clarified 2026-08-21: his Aug 19 message was not a request for board approval — he was asking each director individually for permission to share their contact details with the agent. Adam, Richard, Davis, and Matt all said yes. Nothing is owed from the chair, and it does not need noticing for Tuesday.

NextNone. Rob is driving; revisit when quotes come back

Chair-level housekeeping that won't surface on its own.

NextMeeting cadence, where minutes live, 990 timing, conflict-of-interest policy covering the dual role. Move ArkCAN business off the gravelandgrit.org address

ArkCAN. Committee-based approvals without convening the full board, plus a move to quarterly meetings. Driven by grant volume. Deliberately deferred.

NextDraft for the next regular meeting

Sunday review held 2026-08-23 with Taylor. Bank OZK was reconnected in Era during the session, reversing the 08-21 decision to leave it broken — and it changed the read. Live OZK balance $28,427.58, but only $15,084.74 of the payoff had actually debited; $22,716.42 posted card-side and was still sitting in checking over the weekend, due Monday 08-24. (full detail in the vault)

NextConfirm the nine remaining debits on the OZK feed — Tue Aug 25, moved from Monday at Adam's call 2026-08-24 so today's transactions have the full day to clear. Have Taylor confirm the 1099 payee and the W-9 on file, then take the LNH account question to the tax preparer. Move Tractor Supply into Lucky Number Farms. Check payroll life insurance before the Farm Bureau term quotes. Work the subscription list (YouTube TV to Pops, Kindle Unlimited on both accounts, cancel Picture This, Amazon Photos vs iCloud, combine Amazon Prime before Taylor's renewal)

Live in production, all 8 phases built and validated. Stripe is still in test mode — it cannot take real money. A checkout-session replay bug sits behind the live flip (single-use tracking in local JSON, wiped by Render free-tier redeploys). Marketing site never stood up; Porkbun → Netlify → Render architecture decided 2026-08-21, not built. Nobody outside Adam has been asked to pay $25.

NextReplace local-JSON session tracking with a real datastore — before the Stripe flip, not after

Added 2026-08-21. The charter existed with status: active and full frontmatter but had no row here — the exact failure this file exists to prevent. Charter last touched 2026-08-21; it also carries a site-reference.md.

NextRead the charter and set a real next action — this row is a placeholder recovered from the folder, not from Adam

Side project, idea stage — a printed family newspaper assembled from texts to a dedicated number. Phase 0 cleared; no code until Phase 6. The whole thing rests on an unvalidated wedge: "no app" vs. Famileo's app-required model, which nobody outside the founding conversation has reacted to.

NextRun 10–15 discovery interviews with organizers (Phase 2); read Famileo's 1–3 star US reviews; check whether Tribu News already claims the wedge

Added 2026-08-23; live as of the same day. Built on the Airtable Food base Adam has kept since 2019. Base is now 152 recipes, a 205-name Ingredients vocabulary, and a 90-row Pantry counted by walking the house — every appliance, the deli drawer and the spice cabinet — with a Confidence field so coarse tracking degrades visibly instead of silently. (full detail in the vault)

NextClose out the Aug 24–30 Planner rows as the week is cooked and decrement the Pantry — the first live test of coarse tracking. Then plan Aug 31–Sep 6 over Sunday dinner

Scoped 2026-08-24. Moves the vault to a private Git repo so one collapsible file is the single surface for both Adam and Taylor — Adam's governing requirement, stated after a family-only Google Doc was built and rejected the same day: "the whole point was to have all of this in one place... (full detail in the vault)

NextAnswer the PAT gate. Then confirm Adam's GitHub account, and decide Taylor-on-GitHub vs. a rendered whole-board view. Phase 0 (collapsible restructure of this file) is storage-agnostic and can run today

Added 2026-08-24, replacing the abandoned shared-artifact plan (handoff, closed at Step 0 — there is no per-person artifact sharing on any plan, and the "People with access" list showing Owner is a display, not an invite control). ✅ Settled and built 2026-08-24: Airtable is the surface, this file stays the system of record. The Google Doc is superseded — it could never be refreshed in place. (full detail in the vault)

NextAdam: review the interface, then create the Airtable PAT (never in Drive) so the daily sync runs as a local scheduled task rather than through the MCP — ~30k tokens per run is the wrong architecture. Also: delete the empty duplicate base appvmTnQetSZg7hUG by hand, and do the design pass. Do not share to Taylor until Adam says so

House — 2026-08-24 — On today's list. Figure out what is going on with them.

Kids/Admin — 2026-08-23 — What Adam still needs before the LeadAR departure Sep 10. Also tracked on the LeadAR Class 21 row under Personal.

Admin — 2026-08-24 — Adam's own midnight capture, and this section is the answer to it. Still open: a priority task for the week folded into the Sunday reset, and settling Taylor's reading surface.

Added 2026-08-22. Adam confirmed it was never discussed by either side — so this is housekeeping, not a negotiation, and it is cheap now and expensive in 2032. Draft the exhibit, put it to Matt Pond alongside the operating-agreement request. — Lease terms

Added 2026-08-22. Adam confirmed it is incorporated and he holds the paperwork — but no IRS Business Master File record exists, and the vault currently describes the entity as unidentifiable. Get the legal name and EIN in, and confirm whether a Form 8976 notice was filed (required within 60 days of formation for a self-declared c4; $20/day if not). — Gravel & Grit

Added 2026-08-22. Her ICPC Foundation work began 2025 or later, so 2024 is clean — but the 2025 return needs a Schedule C and Schedule SE in her name that 2024 did not have, on roughly $36k gross. Easy to miss precisely because last year's return has no template for it. — 2025 filing

Added 2026-08-22. Both the 2023 and 2024 K-1s say 7% capital / 0% profit; Adam says 3%; the K-1s are the only documents that exist. $162,345 was contributed for an interest with no profit allocation and nothing in writing describing it. A records request, not a confrontation. — Email

Added 2026-08-22. §8.1 of the executed lease still ends with the drafting note "ADD EXHIBIT FOR T RETAINED OWNERSHIP AND REMOVAL OF TANKS AND REACTORS." It was never written, so the §8.1 default applies and the tanks and reactors become LNH's property at termination — almost certainly not what GasLogix thinks it agreed to. Better resolved now than in 2032. — Lease terms

Added 2026-08-22. The Drive folder holds an unsigned Word document, an LOI with blank signature lines, and a 53-page scanned Reference.pdf nobody has opened. Open the PDF — it may be the executed copy. — Google Drive

Added 2026-08-22. The mortgage on 11620 N Hwy 41 is in Adam's personal name; LNH's 1065 shows no land and no Schedule L. If the tract was never conveyed to LNH, the rent belongs on Schedule E, not a 1065. — Franklin County records

Added 2026-08-22. The 2024 return took the $29,200 standard deduction with no Schedule A. The 2023 Forms 1098 showed ~$27,700 + ~$10,500 of mortgage interest. Ten minutes with the 2024 1098s answers it; an amended 2024 return is available until ~April 2028. — Google Drive

Added 2026-08-22. The lease puts the leased tract inside 11620 N Highway 41; Form 8825 reports the rental property as 11556 AR 41. One record is wrong and it propagates through the vault. — —

Flagged as compromised Jul 27; no visible response since. — M365 admin

c3 governance currently runs on c4 letterhead. — —

Ownership settled — Gravel & Grit owns it. Still to define: signature target, deadline, collection points, and who runs it day to day. — Gravel & Grit

Press the week of Aug 17 questioned the future of the 3,000-bed plan. If it is being cancelled, the campaign's posture and the petition's ask both need revisiting. Still unread. — —

The folder holds only a README describing a Drive-hosted credential design that is not what is running — the iCloud credential lives at C:\Users\watso\OneDrive\Documents\Anthropic\claude-creds\icloud.env (verified on disk 2026-08-24), which is safer. Left with a warning banner 2026-08-21. As written it would lead a future session to upload an Apple app-specific password to Drive. (full detail in the vault)

Added 2026-08-22. Open decision, nothing bought. The case is presence, not AI compute: no inference runs locally, so what is being bought is a machine awake enough that local-touching work happens. The largest cost is easy to miss — editing any existing vault file requires the device bridge, because the Drive connector's update_file changes a file's title and parent only. (full detail in the vault)

All crons are fixed in UTC. When Central leaves DST, the morning brief and budget prep move 6:30 → 5:30 AM and the weekly review 3:00 → 2:00 PM. Not urgent; just re-cron them in late October so it is not a surprise. — Scheduled tasks

Added 2026-08-24. The drone pass found buried-utility markers on the fence line at 11620 N Hwy 41, one of them knocked over, decal unreadable from the air. The build drives steel edging stakes at 2 ft centres and scarifies subgrade. Free ticket, a few business days to be marked — it goes ahead of the Moasure and everything else on the project. — Mailbox Surround

Added 2026-08-24. The design says the post sits 1–2 ft off the pavement and calls it the fact that decides everything; the drone frames show it several feet back on turf beside an existing gravel apron. One Moasure distance settles whether Scheme C's geometry closes. — Mailbox Surround

Added 2026-08-24. Adam's direction: a small raised ring around the pier so it reads as a base, not a tube in the ground. It is Scheme B's stone collar at a smaller scale — ~2½–3½ ft, dry-laid local sandstone, crusher run tamped inside, apron stays on grade. Does not change the steel order or reopen the ditch work. Spec after the Moasure. — Mailbox Surround

Added 2026-08-22, capture list cut back 2026-08-24. Shorter than it was: the pier height is known, so what is left is the spot elevations perpendicular to the road, the Sonotube's diameter, and one clean post-to-pavement distance — that last one scales the nadir frame into a site plan. The ARDOT framing, crescent fill, aggregate quantity, steel height and edging run still wait on it. — Mailbox Surround

Its board row was added 2026-08-21 from the folder, not from Adam. The charter is status: active but nobody has said what the next step is. — —

Deferred deliberately so it documents what exists. — Ask Claude

Captured 2026-08-24 00:20 via the Shortcut: a way to capture family tasks and keep them distinct from this board, plus a priority task for the week added to the Sunday reset. Related to the Family morning board idea row — same audience problem, different surface. — —

Told by Adam 2026-08-24. His iCloud account is added to his Outlook client, so a draft created in the M365 mailbox can be sent from any of his addresses by switching the From field. So stop hedging about which mailbox to draft in — draft it in Outlook and name the address it should go out from; the boundary is chosen at send, not at draft. (full detail in the vault)

Added 2026-08-24. The Follow up OB appointments are Taylor and Piper, not Adam — he stays at the house. Events belonging to someone else in the house still shape the day (who is home, who has the car) but are not Adam's commitments and must not be written as his. Check whose event it is before placing it. — —

Adam's call 2026-08-24. Events on that calendar — meet-and-greets, podcasts, county meetings, and the Cub Scouts appearance — are not to be surfaced in the morning brief. Only the Home calendar and the connected work calendar count. Applies to the weekly review as well. — —
