I was in no rush to get going this morning, so I had a leisurely time. After breakfast I cleaned and organized my car a bit. Then I went to the new property and marked out where the next two houses will go. It felt really good to get that done and I think I am happy with the layout. After returning to the cottage to clean and pack I drove down to Publix in Tullahoma to buy a few things, mainly for Luke. It took another hour to get home. When I arrived Luke was sitting on the real toilet, with the help of a little insert. After he finished we went outside and did a little cleaning up. Dinner was good. He didn’t really want to go to bed but eventually did. I have been looking at bird feeder plans online this evening.

After breakfast this morning I drove up to Monteagle with a stop at the Manchester Home Depot. I went by the bank, supply house, and pawn shop once I arrived. I also drove by the new property to make sure my tractor was still there. Thankfully it was. After getting some groceries at Piggly Wiggly I went by the cottage, where I organized my car then made lunch. After another pass through town I went to visit Debbie. I chatted with her and Charles for a bit before toughening up and going to get my tractor. It was a miserably cold drive back to the cottage, but I made it without incident. I went back to Debbie’s until she closed and they drove me back to my car. Next I went to the Goat Market where I chatted with Eric for a while. I returned to the cottage for a cobbled together dinner and some reading. I finished the square foot gardening book which I found to be quite informative. Hopefully tomorrow will be a little warmer, as promised, because I do have a lot of outside things to do here and don’t want to be miserable while doing them.

Luke had developmental therapy this morning so I had a little free time. It was spent productively browsing the auction sites for trucks and equipment. Afterwards we built Legos until lunch time. He had a good nap then we went outside for a long time and also worked in the garage. It is really close to being done. We had a nice family dinner and after Luke went to bed I visited Kroger for a few things. There were some snowflakes coming down as I left.
Lots of outside time.
Luke and I started off with Legos and then went outside after snack. Luke loved running around and helping me load garbage into my car. He didn’t nap although it would seem that he gave it an honest effort. We went outside again this afternoon and he helped me move some lumber around and got upset because we didn’t ride the lawn mower for real. This evening I went on another exercise bike ride, although shorter because of some technical difficulties.
Tide, Legos, books, nap, Legos, ride, TV.
Still feeling great about the Tide’s victory last night. The rest of the day was pretty normal, and the title pretty much covers it. After dinner I did go on my first ride on my new exercise bike. I also finished the deer book pictured below. It was about as useful as you would expect it to be. Liz and I are going to watch a little TV shortly.
