Late Morning to ya woods.

Got back from an Illinois trip to the Middle East Conflict Wall over the weekend. Roomed with a couple of CVMA guys from here who also made the trip. Our room was reminiscent of barracks from a indulgent weekend.

Got a legit slice of Chicago Style Pizza that probably tipped the scale in excess of one pound.

Split off with the fellas in near Fort Wayne on the return trip home to hang out with a friend there. Bourbon and moonshine ruled the evening.

1300+ miles round trip.

Happy Noon Time Wooders. First, Bob, I hope things work out well and the repairs go easy, and the invoices are light.
Second, I am a bit embarassed by the MOM thing. I don't think I deserve to be an anything of the month. Well perhaps the idiot of the month! I feel there are many more deserving dudes here that deserve this honor. Thank You to whomever spouted my name!
And lastly, Chris.... I might have one or two chips on ya.....

Thanks MarkyDos. I see a ridge of high pressure is building to the west which will bring some warmer temps for a few days.

And deodorant, don't forget that. Did you ever get your website up and running which featured all the "Happy Birthday Mark" girls?

It isn't a contest MoM, but just the same, you win.

I did, but was waiting for TOAK history. Do you have the link for the TOAK Star Wars intro?

Plumber just left. There was a clog at the septic tank baffle which backed everything up and caused the leak and the initial smell. He got that cleared and now the pipe isn't leaking anymore because it's at the top. He said that's not unusual because the gases eat it away. He said the pipe has to be replaced, no option that's reasonable for a liner. That said, he and I were in agreement that it would be prudent to start at the opening and work my way back, hopefully to good pipe. He said the sections are 4 feet long so in theory, I could just take out the floor under the stairs and excavate, not tearing up too much floor. So now I'm waiting for the floor guy to show up and advise. I don't want to just cut without his input.

So in the end it's fixable and shouldn't be insanely expensive. But we'll see. If it goes all the way across the floor it's really going to suck.
