What? No pictures this morning? Honestly, I didn't even take the camera out of my pocket yesterday. I simply didn't think about it. 

Oh well, there's not much to tell anyway.

Neither Sargie or I slept all that well Sunday night and I'm not certain why. The room was really nice and clean, it was quiet, and the bed was comfortable. For whatever reason, sleep was intermittent for both of us.

We arrived at our appointment early Monday morning and thankfully, finished early. The car was pointed back north shortly after lunchtime.

It was early evening when I punched the remote to open the garage door. Sargie and I both agreed the trip went quickly. Of course, when one is traveling with his best friend, the time always seems to fly by.

We'd received word from Mechanic Dave that the Blazer was done and could be picked up at any time. We made a flying trip to town and the old SUV, sporting new plugs, two new tires, wires, a rotor cap, and filters, is back home.

It was two tired kids who climbed the stairs to the bedroom last night.

Poor Sargie has to open the Vision Center today. I'm going to town after she leaves to purchase the connections and parts of the ductwork needed for the wood furnace. I have quite a bit already, but a cap for the flue, a collar for the wall, and a couple other pieces are missing. 

I'm dreading cutting a hole in the shop and barn wall through which to thread the duct, but I have no choice. The shortest distance between two points is a straight line.

I substitute teach in Florence Wednesday through Friday of this week, then again on Monday and Tuesday of next. With new tires and many parts installed on the Blazer, plus the holiday season coming, I'm grateful for the work. Hey, who knows, we may just get those new windows for the living room yet! 

Time to get Sargie's lunch packed and breakfast made ready.

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

So are the tales from Pentoga Road...
