Not that we didn't have another chore for today that was even more unpleasant than cutting trees. The plumbing in the cabin has been a problem for the last few years and today was the day to work on it. I have a snake and ran it through the pipes, but there still is a problem. I think the tree roots have gotten in the pipe and is clogging it up. I've tried to get a plumber to come out and work on it, but nobody is interested in the repair. It looks like this is the case of if you want it done right, do it yourself. Anyone interested in helping out? Naw, I didn't think so.
We ran a few errands and wound up at a car dealership to see if they had any GMC Terrains on the lot. There were a couple there, but nothing that interested us. We did see this beauty of a used car there and I don't know if it is for sale or not. What do you think, would it be a good buy? Check it out.
We decided to go out for dinner and went to one of our favorite places in the area. The Ott House in Emmitsburg has the coldest Yuengling beer on tap and they make a great crab cake sandwich. I ordered my old standby Club sandwich and we had an appetizer of hot wings. They coat/glaze the hot wings in a sweet sauce and they melt in your mouth.
The Ott House is always busy with firemen who are attending classes at the National Fire Academy in Emmitsburg. The restaurant provides transportation between the Academy and the restaurant free of charge. As expected, there is a lot of talk about fire fighting and such.
Check it out if you are in Emmitsburg around lunch or dinner time. It's a neat place.
You two are sure doing a lot of "work" this year. Hope you settle in for a few weeks rest before you head out.
