    What a morning. A worker accidentally cut through a live wire and I lost power to my room. Builder came in and rewired it. All is well now. Found out they won’t be coming through my wall today but they sure are making enough noise. They are working in the bathroom which is just on the other side of the wall.

    Morning, mixers.

    Still dry here, and they do keep turning up the thermostat... still claiming well get into the 90s for the weekend, and the latest guess now says it won't back off after Monday, but persist...

    Somewhere between here and there
    Early this morning the boss grabbed me and one other guy to switch out three new computers. Normally it wouldn't be a big deal but no prep was done and our software is so old that everything is a pain to set up.

    We were told to expect major storms all day today, then it changed to a few hours of heavy rain, then to maybe some light showers. What we actually got is hot and sunny.

    Public Works showed up this morning to start work on our conversion to city sewers. A giant vacuum cleaner on wheels arrived. They are digging (sucking out) 12" holes at the edge of the yard down to the gas, electric and water lines, presumably to confirm the locations where they were flagged last week.

    Part of the job involves collapsing the old septic tank and planting over it. Ours was surrounded and partly covered by a ring of large rocks put there by the previous owner decades ago. I dug out and moved most of them a while back, and rolled away some that were too big for me to lift. There are two left that are way too large for me to handle.

    I live on a river. Rivers tend to migrate westward over time so hundreds of years ago my plot was the riverbed. The land is made of ten feet of sandy topsoil with clay underneath and lots of rocks, which makes foundations in the town tend to sink and buckle. You would have to dig down 20 feet to hit anything really stable. I've dug up hundreds of rocks over the years and put most of them in a big rock garden.

    That's some A1 forecasting. :lol:
