Waiting for the Septic Guy

Hiking/Bicycle/Cross Country skiing Trail

A bit overcast when I got up this morning at 5:00, alas, as I was really hot in bed, though the temperature last night was in the low 60's, not terribly warm.  I noticed that the sky off to the north was darkening, so I went out and put my boat cover on just at dawn, usually a surefire method for guaranteeing that it will not rain.  And so far, it's worked as it's cleared up and today's supposed to be warm, in the high 70's, with a chance of thunderstorms, with more storms and rain to come over the next few days.  All of this makes our septic tank work all the more unlikely.  If it rains, no work can be done.  Of course, our guy was supposed to call over the weekend and let us know when he was coming.  He didn't call and has not answered either our text or phone message.  So, what else did we expect, right.   I know he's very busy, were the only septic system he's doing, but I thought for sure he would at least call and let us know what's going on.

We had Ron and Linda over last night for teriyaki pork chops, ratatouille, and rice, and it was great.  We took our first booze cruise of the year, then ate out on our front porch, something we tried once before.  It's actually pretty comfortable, though we have to think harder about the furniture, as it crowded if we don't do anything we our Adirondack chairs.  They left about 10:30 and head back to Pittsburgh for about ten days.
