It was a fairly busy day. We moved some rock and wood around, worked on the landscape truck, knocked over an apple tree, and graded out the driveway. Luke spent time outside and also built some Legos.
Quick Mountain trip.
This morning I went to the dump, Harbor Freight, and the auto parts store. After that John and I drove up to Monteagle. We went to Hank’s Corner Grill in Tracy City for lunch. It was pretty good. From there we went by the tiny homes and then the new property. We drove home via Bell Buckle. This evening we just had dinner then I messed around on the computer.
Getting more done.
Luke got a pretty early start this morning. After breakfast John and I finished installing the new fan in the playroom while he watched. Today was my dad’s birthday so we had a video call with him. Then we finished installing the light bar on the lawn mower. After lunch we went to rent a little backhoe to do a bit of work. We started burning the pile out back and moving some dirt around. After dinner everybody just sort of went their separate ways to relax.
Cold but productive day.
Last night got a little crazy after I posted. My father-in-law called about 8:45 saying they had a flat in Cool Springs and his jack failed as he was changing the tire. So I drove up there with a couple of jacks and we got it sorted. We took the backroads home because the donut spare was so tiny. This morning Becky and I took Luke to High Hopes. That went well. Back at home John and I worked on several little projects. We put the kitchen light on a dimmer switch, started swapping out the playroom fan, and worked on adding a light bar to the lawn mower. After lunch we went to Home Depot, Harbor Freight, and Lowe’s. We did a little more electrical work and set the lawn mower battery up to charge. We moved the landscape truck and changed the oil filter. Tomorrow we will get more oil and try to start it. We went to a taco shop on the other side of town to pick up dinner for everybody. Luke went down to bed without much issue.
Legos, outside, Home Depot.
This morning we built more with Legos, then went outside until lunch time. Luke was upset because we didn’t hook up my car to the landscape truck and pull it. I told him we would do that later. After lunch he kind of tried to nap, but didn’t. SO we built some more Legos then I asked if he wanted to go to Home Depot. He said yes, and as expected fell asleep on the way there. So we drove around and then parked so he could get a good nap. We went into Home Depot once he woke up, and he had a good time. We got a ceiling fan and some materials for making bird feeders. He helped Liz prepare dinner when we came back to the house. Bath and bedtime went well and now he is asleep. Liz parents are coming in this evening and will stay for a week.
