Today started early with the sound of a diesel truck idling next door loud enough to wake us up. Might not have been that early. It was a large propane truck making a delivery next door.
Around 10:00 our own truck was due to arrive but it was hopefully not a delivery truck! No it's a service truck for our septic tank. Hills Septic Service arrived right on time to pump and inspect our tank. After 365 days of use we have to have this service done on our lot here at
Port Susan. We are only here during the summer so we only need this service every few years. It requires removing a 26" access hatch. Not sure what else is involved because at this point I stopped supervising. I guess this is one job that the worker doesn't have anyone looking over his shoulder while he's working. The job took about fifteen minutes and we received a good mark for our bacteria.
Later that after noon another arrival showed up. A tractor with a hydraulic arm on the back. At the end of the arm was a lawn mower. It was mowing along the side of our road.
The tractor stopped across the way and raised the arm. Then went back down the road cutting the foliage at the side of the road from the surface to a height of 3 or 4 feet.
All the while our watch cat kept an eye on everything.
