Dodged A Bullet

 We dodged a bullet today here at The Compound.  Background, first.  Tree cutters are coming tomorrow morning to cut down two gigantic trees in Neighbor Nick's side yard.  I had already thought to move the Silver Bullet to his driveway tonight, since they will have the big crane set up in our driveway.  So this morning, I was sleeping good, and slept in a bit, when I heard the Old Man say "get up and see what's going on.  They got the road in front closed off, and lot of trucks." So I quickly put in my contact lens and threw on clothes to go out and move the Silver Bullet, thinking the tree cutters were there a day early.  But it was "just" the water company, replacing water lines to a home that was four houses up the road from us.  The two houses on either side of that house had their water cut off, but thankfully we weren't affected. 

I ran up to the post office to get stamps and get the fixings for a batch of Chex Mix, and when I got home, went ahead and parked the Silver Bullet in Neighbor Nick's driveway.

Stay tuned for updates on the two gigantic tree removals tomorrow and Wednesday.
