Max came with us to Cullman. The prior two days had been very rainy so everything was soaked. We spent the first morning working on the diesel carrier. I got the second set of wheels on it so we could roll it over to the tractor. A small improvement but a useful one.

There had been a problem with my left rear wisdom tooth for over a year, so I decided I should get it taken care of before I wound up isolated somewhere in PEI. The extraction didn't appear to be problematic until just be...
