The plumbing project is moving slower than I would ever have anticipated.  I actually thought a really hard day, day and a half would knock it out.  Four days in we are still working, although my bathroom is on line.

We are actually more than half way done, having set and plumbed the tank as well as one drain line.  We are on the second and largest drain line now and we are probably three quarters of the way done trenching

Yesterday we had built lines and connections to transition from the tank to the seep line, complete with T's to feed root preventative in and to connect the second seep line.  While the guys were doing this I was trenching with the trac hoe.  It was one of those days as the trench caved off twice the the little machine fell into the ditch.  Once I had to get pulled out and once I was able to use the boom and lift myself out.  The most exciting thing to happen was after the two cave ins I decided to dig from the side.  About the second move I was climbing up on the pile of dirt from the first trench for the second pass (to widen it for the panels to fit) and the little machine began crawling up and it just kept crawling.  Almost like slow motion.the machine turned over backward.  I killed the engine so it wouldn't starve for oil and crawled off the machine.  The three of us grabbed hold and righted the machine.

There is a fine line between vertical and horizontal like a bug on its back!  Thankfully it didn't hurt anything.

About eight last evening I walked in the house and couldn't find Memama.  In a few moments she walked in, having been to the wash house.  She had gone to get some clothes out of the dryer and fell.  Only a couple of scrapes.  She said she isn't even sore.  Tough ol' bat!

Well, I am not divorced yet.  The opposing attorney had a car accident Friday so things didn't happen.  It may be just as well. On  Monday Merrit's lawyer called her and said the new District Attorney there, having received a copy of the restraining order agreed to drop the charges against Merrit if Carol would agree too.  Funny thing, yesterday I checked my banking and found a charge for mylife.com and set it up on a recurring monthly charge.  Thing is, she charged it to my debit card and she is not and has never been on my account.  The staff at my life was so upset, they sent me the full account info, who set it up, when, and the payment method.  So now, it is lets make a deal!

Thing is, this isn't the first time she has done this.

I just figure what is good for one is good for the other.

Today I along with the hands are going to Abilene to retrieve more of my belongings.  I also get to do a walk through the house to see if I can find missing items.

Should be an interesting day!

Have one!

Oh FATHER, gonna need a big dose of patience.
