A lot of reading, a little work, a lot of driving, more buying.

I was not in a hurry to get going this morning. I gave myself a day off from the workout videos and spent a lot of time reading the Dale Brown novel that I bought at the library book sale. Then I went to the house and spent about an hour wiping chalk marks off the flat ceilings. Tomorrow I will do the vaulted ceiling. That went okay. I needed to get some things from home, so I headed off in that direction, with planned stops at Home Depot and TSC in Manchester. At TSC I saw hydraulic hoses and thought I could get one for my tractor, but I didn’t know the right size. Unfortunately the internet was of no assistance. So I drove back to the house and measured. I attempted to remove it but was unsuccessful. Back at the Manchester TSC they actually didn’t have my size hose in stock. So I drove on to the Shelbyville store, which did. At home I gathered most everything I needed with the exception of a couple of things that I couldn’t find. I was happy to discover a forgotten about new chainsaw chain. For the big saw, it will come in handy. I drove to Lewisburg and stopped at their TSC for a couple of pieces of hardware to make something with tomorrow. The drive from there to the Mountain, through Fayetteville, was lovely. Back at the cottage I read some from another book I got at the library book sale and messed about on my phone.
