So I managed to wiggle in a day and a half off. 1/2 for today for our wedding anniversary and all day tomorrow. When I planned the job I added some time incase we had to wait for parts, equipment breakdowns and general catastrophic screw ups. We haven't had any. I got the lid caved in, the old tank backfilled and started the new hole. I don't want to get too far ahead incase we get rain or (more likely) the excavation walls get dried out and start sluffing in since there isn't much clay in the ground here. So the wife and I are going to dinner tonight and tomorrow I'm going to get started on the legalities of the new side business.

 

Damn, I almost missed this. @Kolunatic how did it work out for you?

Didn’t know
But I was off
So guess it was good

 

Well, we git down to Florida ok. Plane ride was a bit bumpy. It was Mary's first time flying, she did ok.
It's been a long day, been up since 2:30 am.

That's the Gulf of Mexico behind us.

 

That’s the spirit..

 

Needs a lot more candles

 

Well I did it.
After all these years. Bought myself a birthday present.
Wasn’t really looking to get another one but my darling wife said go for it.
Talk about spending money we don’t have.
I’ll give you a hint.
It’s black
Has 2 wheels
And has more power than I know what to do with.
I must be nuts.
Carol and I are hoping to take it out on Sunday weather permitting.
The know we can only use it for about 6 months a year but I walked by it and it called me.
No one was around and I pulled it out of line and I sat on it.
That was all she wrote.
The price was a steal. It was rolled back to make room for the newer models.

I may regret it but what the hell.
