Welcome to my 100th blog!
This is a blog of sadness for after 7 years 8
months and 107,946 miles I drove my 2000 Chevy Blazer for the last time. Purchased
on October 7, 2005 at Thompson Volkswagen, Audi in Waterville with the
intent of having a good 4 door four wheel drive
vehicle for when Canaan was born. It had 66,720 miles on it when I
acquired it and 174,666 miles when I parked it May 30, 2013 for the final
time.
The engine isn’t dead yet, but it’s moments away.
The antifreeze is circulating through the entire engine, not the way it
should be, and draining out the exhaust. It was over heating terribly
and in fact prior to have the issue diagnosed
it overheated so badly that it stalled out, twice. So today I filled
it full of water, got a jump start, and rode her on her final 6 mile
journey with the music just a blaring. The final song being The
Lumineers: Stubborn Love on a CD Kate made me.
It may seem odd, but I was very attached to me blazer and it saddens me
Also today my boots blew out on me with half the
sole detaching on my left shoe! Yesterday I accidentally dropped my
external hard drive and now it won’t boot up. Data recovery is quite
expensive so I hope my buddy John will be able
to fix it for me.
My brother John and is wife Leah are coming to
Maine to attend my wedding! They haven’t been home from Minnesota in a
few years so I’m glad my wedding could be the catalyst that brings them
back. It will be great to see them again!
We moved the Coon Dog to another field today. 15 –
20 acres for him to roam around in. We brought him a half mile into
the pasture to his water source to show him. After some splashing
around he headed back to the field and once be passed
the stone wall he broke out into a run like I’ve never seen before!!
He was so fast, and so loud it was unreal, Kate commented that in
Kentucky they called him thunder hoof and I can see why!
Later readers!
