Quick trip up the Mountain.
We had planned on spending the whole long weekend in Monteagle, but decided last night that it would be a bit too challenging logistically. So this morning we drove up during Luke’s nap and returned during his afternoon nap. In between we walked on the Goat Trail, visited the Sewanee goats, said hey to Debbie next door, and played in the cottage. Pretty low key, but still enjoyable. And thankfully cooler than The Valley.
Even the Mountain gets hot.
I was too lazy to get out of bed for sunrise this morning, despite a glance out the window confirming that it would be glorious. I finally got up and took the Lexus to the mechanic. It took over two hours, but he finally got the AC blowing cold again. I drove around campus, loaded a bunch of concrete blocks onto the trailer, then went to see Debbie next door. After visiting with her for a while I hit the road. The drive home was scenic, but uneventful. Upon arrival I put on tennis shoes and we went to the greenway for a walk. Dinner was leftovers, since the fridge is pretty full.
Milestone, Mountain, Motoring.
I drove up to the Mountain this morning. On the way Lexie crossed the 200k mile mark. I pulled my new army trailer and planned on cutting the grass at the cottage, but it didn’t need it. So I focused on the Sequoia. The new battery didn’t get it started, but eventually I realized that the cables running to the negative terminal were corroded. So with some steel wool I got them cleaned. Then it started. I drove down to the mechanic and got the oil changed. Then I went to see the goats on campus. They were pretty far away, but looked content. I am staying up here tonight because they need to do a little work on the Lexus tomorrow. I am reading a couple of books and enjoying the tranquility. No fireflies are out yet.
