Day 141

You can get a lot accomplished when you get out of bed before noon. Ellen had an early flight, so I was back from the airport before 8:00. After breakfast I decided to do a job that I'd been putting off for a long time. I bought a couple of drain pipes months ago. They've been sitting beside the house making me feel guilty ever since.

To install them I needed some rock. I now had that. I also needed to break out some of the concrete by a drain so I could fit the pipe into it. I thought that that would be hard, but it turned out to be fairly easy. The dumbshits who lived here had used cheap concrete that was easy to break up.

After that it was just a matter of time and work to dig a trench for the pipe. I put the pipe in and covered it with some of the driveway rock. It took a cart and a half. There was three or four loads left, so I put them on the driveway.

That finishes two old tasks, the driveway and the drain pipe.

I was feeling over ambitious so I cleaned the interior of the car. It turned 10,000 miles. I feel a car should have its interior cleaned everything 10,000 miles whether it needs it or not.
