I did my best to relax up on the mountain today. That entailed finishing my Bob Lee Swagger book d going to see the goats this morning, taking a nice nap this afternoon, and going on a hike at Lake Dimmick this evening. The weather was glorious and it felt so nice to be outside. Sunset was a little boring since there weren’t many clouds in the sky, but I was still able to explore a little area near the lake that I hadn’t visited before. After that I went to the Templeton Library to see the last bit of light fade away. It was very tranquil out. I will stay up here again tonight because I need to get a little work done on my car tomorrow before driving back to the farm. It looks like it will be a clear night with lots of stars so I might bundle up and go look at them. Fortunately it isn’t supposed to be too cold.

The electrician came this morning and finished everything up. What a relief. We will get inspected on Tuesday. I did a bit of cleaning and organizing. We are really close and hopefully Liz and Luke can come down next weekend if the inspections go well. The weather was glorious today. I came up to the mountain this afternoon. I talked with Debbie next door for a while then drove over to campus. The goats weren’t out, but it was a little late. This evening I have just been reading a Bob Lee Swagger book. I might only have a couple left after this one.

My dad came down and we got some more stuff done. The electrical inspector did not come and the electrician is not responding to communications. The weather is much warmer, which is very much appreciated.

Well, the plumber/electrician pretty much finished up today. The electrical inspection is Thursday. I came up to Nashville this afternoon and we went out to dinner to celebrate my dad’s birthday. I’ll spend the night here.

I had hoped to go on a nice hike or two today and really enjoy the pleasant weather. Instead I stayed indoors reading. I finished the book but wish I had hiked too. That would have done me some good. But I wasn’t feeling very motivated. I didn’t go anywhere except to Piggly Wiggly this morning. I waited until after dark to drive back to the farm. I hope to get a lot done this week, possibly including obtaining a temporary certificate of occupancy. That might be a bit optimistic though. It is supposed to be bitter cold, but not much chance of snow.
