Awake 6:06 am Temp Downtown=53 Sunny 16 hrs 41 min of daylight

I Write a few e-mails this morning. At 11:45 Kathy goes to town. She is on
the search for a gift to give the wedding couple in Switzerland + some
grocery shopping. She returns @ 5:00pm. I was glad she didn't beg me to go
along.

The (4) days that I have concentrated my BIG DIG in our back yard looking
for our septic end cap...were based on information from Ted(septic & water
engineer + inspector)who had his own business, and the former
owner/builder of our home, Dexter. Both of these fellows should know their
stuff...the location of that end cap, especially Dexter, he built the
place.

@ 2:05 Rob from Garness Engineering arrives. I show him my dig areas & the
spot that I had been told would locate the end cap. Well, Rob has
papers... that his company gathered from the municipality on this
property...showing the septic system layout with exact distance, depth &
location of the leach field & end cap. WOW! And this diagram differs from
the info I have by some 15 ft. Now why couldn't this Ted guy have looked
up the info at the Muni(he's in the business) & Dexter the owner??
Anyway, Rob & I run some measurements, then designates a spot to dig. We
talk about how the test is conducted when that end cap is located...and
Rob leaves 20 min later.

About 30 min later...at a depth of ( 1 ) ft, I find the elusive end cap.
What a relief & what a great exercise program I had finding it.

8:15 Dinner: Stuffed peppers with broccoli, toast & salad.

Watch video from library: " In the bedroom." A slow, emotional &
surprising different flick. Lights out: 11:55
