Today’s goal was to buy a couple of poly septic tanks and some other septic system accessories. I first drove down to Manchester to rent trailer, since mine doesn’t have working lights and was full of stuff. Unfortunately the rental place was all out. So I returned to the Mountain, emptied mine, and headed towards Lebanon with the idea of stopping in McMinnville at Harbor Freight to pick up some lights. On the way I decided to see if the same brand septic tanks were available in McMinnville, and I saw that they were. I went there only to learn that they actually had a different brand. So then I called a place in Jasper, and they told me that they had them in stock. I drove up and over the Mountain only to be disappointed upon arrival. Another person there told me that they didn’t have any. I was a bit frustrated and started calling places in Chattanooga, despite really not wanting to drive there. One guy swore that he had them in stock, so I drove on down, through downtown, and to his store. He had them and everything else that I needed, and helped me load. The drive back was miserable, but I made it without incident.
