America!
Started today by driving almost to Miami, TX just to be told upon arrival that today's project was postponed. Then on to Allison, TX to make a few stops, and then on to Elk City, OK for another couple of stops. Drive to town, wash the work truck, and get home around 4...just to find a busted frost free faucet at my parents house. Dig it up, can't get the broken nipple out of the water line, then end up finding mulitple holes in water pipe upstream of faucet tee. So now I get to take off tomorrow and play plumber...
At least its fresh water and mud. Not black water and "mud".

He’s such a cup half full kind of guy.🤣

I'm one of those "I don't care whether you call the cup half full or half empty, 'cause I probably drank the first half myself" kinda guys............

Have I had less fun days? Yes
Did today suck? Also yes
But its (mostly) done now, and the folks have water back on. We ended up digging up all the way to meter, and also into cellar on the other end, around 30-35' total. Still have to install new faucet, but we tee'd off for it and installed a block valve so we can do it later this week.

Also, in the course of our excavating, we found the gas line, that we think goes to the shop, is PVC! Nothing like digging under a plastic gas line to remove a steel water line 🤣

So we headed to town tonight to see friends from our very rural location.
About 200' from the intersection another vehicle turned with their lights toward us with brights on.
In the corner of my eye, saw some motion and locked up the brakes.
10' in front of us, someone was sprinting across the front of the vehicle. If the brakes had not been applied, we would have hit the person.
I was on the horn, and the wife rolled the window down as the person (young lady) got into an SUV with some very salty words about how she just about died.
I have the entire event on our new dash cam that I tried to download. I can get the audio, but not the video.
More work needed to find the format to get the video available to be shared.
