delay on the van
We're getting another dousing thunderstorm. As before, it came on suddenly, but there were distant rumbles preceding it. Good thing too (the rumbles), as I was off in the woods photographing the stonemasons' camp.
dglenn took me on a tour of Pennsic my first year here (5 years ago), and there should be pictures from that somewhere (taken with my first digicam). Today's pictures are probably better, since the camps are all empty now, no clutter from tents and gear and people, and I can walk where I please without so much as a by your leave.
Phoned the local Chevy dealer around 12:30. The part had just come in, not earlier in the overnight shipment as expected. The guy to do the work was on his lunch break, but we were first on his list when he got back. Expected to be ready mid afternoon (instead of by noon). Then we have to get there, get the van back here, and pack and load (and now the tent will be wet); and then drive home 6 hours.... (It would help a lot if anniemal can do some of the driving.)
Laptop battery @ 22%, turned RED. Hooked up to charge - which I thought would wait until the trip home in the van, but the van is getting back to us later than expected....
