Peace Like A River


It was a wide river, mistakable for a lake or even an ocean unless you'd been wading and knew its current. Somehow I'd crossed it... Now I saw the stream regrouped below, flowing on through what might've been vineyards, pastures, orhards... It flowed between and alongside the rivers of people; from here it was no more than a silver wire winding toward the city. - Leif Enger, Peace Like A River

Master mechanic

I just finished putting the running boards on the truck. They look pretty good, if I do say so myself. And, saved $170 in the ridiculous labor charges the dealer wanted. Rhonda helped me lift them up to get the center bracket onto the initial screw, and then I got things screwed in from there. It was a little awkward in that we didn't have an extender/adapter for the 13mm socket. We did have a vertical hand drill type thing that worked though, so I had to crank around instead of like a ratchet would do.

The kids are napping now, so I might try to watch some the Masters. The 3rd round is starting late because of the rain there. Looks like they are going off from 1 and 10 in order to save time.

For lunch today we had a picnic in the backyard. That was John's idea.

We might go swimming later.
