Pentoga Road

For whatever reason, the internet is out again this morning. Hmm, it's the weekend which means no one is working. I wouldn't be surprised if it's Monday or later before we see the digital highway running through this area again. 

I rode with Sargie back to Iron Mountain Friday morning. After seeing her off and getting the Blazer, I stopped at Jeanne and Boyd's to drop off some rutabagas and squash for the family.

 

We still have quite a few squash in the basement, but the rutabagas are about finished. 

                                 

We talked for quite a while and caught up on the news before I bade them goodbye and made my way back to Pentoga Road.

Friday afternoon was spent in the shop, working on the Old Man and the Sea piece. It's taking a lot longer than I anticipated, but at this point, I'm far enough along that I don't want to make a foolish mistake. I should finish with the sawing part today, then will sand it and make a background and frame.

It was past dark before I came in the house. Sargie was closing the Vision Center so I wasn't in any hurry. The evening was spent in front of the television reading. 

It was almost 9:30 before Sargie walked through the door. My favorite optician in the world closes again tonight, setting up another marathon session for her today. 

I'm going for my usual walk then will see what the day has in store. There's plenty to do if only I can find the gumption to get it done. 

The first thing on my agenda is to pour another cup of coffee and listen to the news. 

Oh wait, we don't have any internet. I guess I might as well get busy doing something meaningful then.

After all, a man's work is never done.

So are the tales from Pentoga Road...
