We spent yesterday mostly reading, catching up on old emails, and writing. How nice to have an agenda with but one task: Relax. Linda's computer did a deep-six, which raised stress levels a bit, but her sherlockian talents soon uncovered the cowering culprit. Assisted by her Watson, she recharged the insidious device's dead battery with Al's converter and restored a heartbeat to the devious device. Case solved. We will share a converter for the duration. A new one should be awaiting us upon our return.
Today holds a bit of adventure; however, we shall not reveal the path just yet.
Just returned from a mountaintop hike on a rocky path amid the hardwoods. No sprains or breaks. On the way up to the top we were visited by four lovely gray fox. The trees were quite thick so we didn't see much of the mountains, but even the rocky trail was beautiful.
Then, being of unsound mind, we rode a ski-lift nearly to the top of a mountain, hiked some more around dangerous rocks and ledges, then rode it down. We were fine until the lift froze. After about 20 minutes of dangling, the diesel backup got fired up and brought us down. We then had the fun of taking our rent-a-car into town for an oil change at the most efficient and friendly jiffy-lube on the planet, so says the plaques in their office. I have no reason to disagree.
Al beat Linda at Gin Rummy and the series is now tied 2-2, pending the next round in which Linda will be trounced once again.
