tracker7The Mariner had been making loud hole-in-the-exhaust noises for a while, and I kept telling myself to get it to a shop soon. Should have when I was in Liberty early last week, but didn't, and oh heck you know where this is going. Flex pipe let go just as I got onto I-64 Friday afternoon. Couldn't field-fix it, so called for a tow and got back to the house. Trailered him to Liberty Saturday afternoon, dropped him off at the shop Monday morning, and then Dad and I headed to West Virginia.
Lousy rainy drive, but worth making. We have a buyer for the plot. The deed has an assessed value, of course, Dad had a figure X in mind, the buyer offered 4/5 X and will have his attorney handle the details. Dad and I talked it over, and I think he's going to accept that offer. The buyer clearly wants it - he called Dad once on our drive back to Liberty after talking with his wife, and again Tuesday morning after talking with his attorney. Here's hoping!
Picked up the Mariner, he's quiet again, hooray!
LA lost to the Braves, 4 games to 2. Atlanta and Houston are tied 1-all, with the World Series going back to Atlanta for three games starting tomorrow night. Go Braves.
Made my first visit to a movie theater since the Before Times to see No Time to Die. Heck of a good movie, and I am really going to miss Daniel Craig's version of James Bond. Solid story, a callback to Dalton's Bond, and just good work all around.
Halloween's coming up this weekend! No plans, so I think I'll default to some good supernatural movies/TV and just enjoying the time.
