• Just About Halfway According to Plan

  I said earlier today:

  Greyfox plans to take advantage of the hiatus in ashfall to bring up the supplies he had accumulated before yesterday’s aborted trip.  He has no space to spare in his little cabin/warehouse, and has to get his stock organized and packed in his van for a show this weekend. 

   I’m goin’ to see my darlin’ today!

  He got here okay.  Doug woke up, carried the heavy stuff in, and helped with the rest of it.  The dog spent a few minutes beside himself because the pack was all back together again.  Then, because Greyfox had places to be and things to do and, what with all the snow piled up in and around the driveway, his van was blocking the road, he didn’t stay long.

  He was gone a few minutes and I was back online working on my Exxon Valdez spill blog, when CallWave took a message from him.  He had gone half a mile or so down the highway and noticed his car was getting hot.  He popped the hood and saw coolant sprayed around the engine compartment.  He got back in the van, called AAA, and is at this moment waiting for the tow.

  He remarked on how lucky it is that he came up here today.  Chances are, otherwise, the problem would have developed on the way to or from the gun show this weekend, which would have been much more inconvenient and probably quite costly.
