Up early on a three hour drive to the cabin this morning to batten down the back door. Cool up there, and pretty, but wasn’t prepared to spend any time other than the few hours to make the repair. Anyway, place is safely locked up until next spring when some real maintenance can take place. Snow’s probably only a few weeks off now.
Blew the front driver’s side tire on the truck while barreling west at 70 mph on highway 20. Damned near rolled. Managed to get to the shoulder and stop, so some good luck there. That, and having some extra tools along. Had to use a hand-wrench and WD40 to loosen the stupid lug holding the jack in place. Was on the way out to the ranch house, but scrubbed the trip with no other spare. Good news in all of this was that the blown tire wasn’t yet a year old, so the replacement’s on BF Goodrich tomorrow.
Going out do dinner soon. Been a tiring trip, which isn’t much of a surprise. Leaving for home tomorrow, an whatever that brings. Good having some time to reflect, regroup. Hoping for a quiet evening, and an uneventful trip back to the Springs.
