…and I keep coming home without them. Before leaving The Place I made several stops and loaded up on stuff. Unfortunately only then did I check my account balance and found that I could no longer afford what I wanted, so once again no boots. One day, before my toes actually come out through the soles.
But I did get a new hood for the barn’s furnace, courtesy of my landlady. This meant I needed to get a wall register. I also needed some shingles for the generator canopy, and really wanted to bring home rebar for the cabin’s footer. Then there was a really serious supermarket on the way home (Look at all this FOOD!!) where I truly and greedily tanked up on fruit and a few more staples. Since none of this would actually fit in the little Jeep, it was necessary to drive 300 miles with the windows, er, bulging here and there.

But everything made it home undamaged.
