12.17.2024

Jim went over the Bobcat again, double and triple checking for leaks, and he thinks everything is good to go!  He went and got the forks and put them on, because yesterday he got a voicemail from the delivery people that they wanted to deliver our garage door this afternoon.   However, he called them back probably 5 times and only got their voicemail each time.


With that job done, there was a lot of cleanup of tools and the auto bay.  When Jim does a big/unusual job like this, he sometimes learns that he needs a different, or more speciality, tool.  Enter our new stubby wrenches for tight spaces!


We've continued to be extra vigilant about the septic system since the one time when the filter was clogged.  Since it was warmish out today, it was a good day to check it.  Thankfully, all looked well.  Cleaning the filter...


Putting the cap back on.  If you look real close at this picture, you'll see a ton of turkey tracks.  After not seeing the turkeys for quite a while, there were probably 30 out today.  They set off the doorbell camera about 8:00 this morning and hung around all morning.  They gravitated to the septic system area, probably because the snow was gone and the ground probably wasn't frozen here.


With no advance warning, a van pulled up later in the afternoon with our garage door.  Probably good timing - we won't have to worry about it, plus they are calling for 3-6" of snow tomorrow afternoon.  


Jim stashed it in the lean-to for the winter...
