Thursday - morning

They offer use of desktop computers at this hotel, tho the keyboard is really bad.  And it's really slow, lol.

Anyway, they are still fixing the truck including installing a new windshield on the driver's side, I doubt they are going to be done before noon. I plan on staying at this hotel all the way up to checkout, which is noon.  When I get back over there, they are going to have to be as far along as they are going to get, I will need to be leaving. 

I want to see my friends off.  One of them will be gone a month, the other a week.  Yes, I will have the house to myself for an entire week while everyone is off on vacation.

Now that Swepco has informed me I can move along with that portion of the project, I need to dig up the cable a bit and find out what kind and size they are using. Then I can go buy however much of it I need and have that ready to go. I have the conduit already but I forgot to get the cement to seal it together.  

BTW, I'm sitting front of a window with the view of the indoor swimming pool they have here, it's empty lol. I was thinking about taking a swim, that thought has been dashed.  Why would you have an empty pool at any time of the year when it's indoors? 

Oh, I guess I can just open the panel on one of the meters and find out what size cable it is there instead of digging up the dirt lol.  

I'm not going to sit here long and I am not going to do too much on this computer, it's a public use computer and tho I am sure my info is scrapped when I shut it off, I don't trust it.  I can see personal stuff like bank accounts on my phone anyways. 

Other than that, I am still waiting to hear back from the contractor about the septic system.  I texted him yesterday, I am supposing he will call me back today after he finds out.  As I have stated, I knew this would take time to get this stuff even started, I did not expect it to take this long.  It didn't help his contractor flew off to Africa, lol.  I saw an ad from another local septic installer, he makes it clear he is "a little more expensive than everyone else" because of the "special" tanks he uses.  I'd rather have the old fashioned concrete ones, they pretty much last forever. 

I'll wait before paying a "little" more.  When a salesperson says something like that, you pretty much assume that means a LOT more.  

Alright, well it's 8:40 am and I'm going to see if they sell combs here. Forgot to bring one yesterday : )
