We had the man out from the local septic tank company to look over the land where we want to put the septic system. He thinks the area is a good one. He will be back out Monday evening with the sanitation engineer so that a test hole can be dug, and the engineer can get an idea of how to lay out the drawing to submit with the permit paperwork. That is supposed to take 10-14 days, then the septic tank will take 3 days to install.
Taylor is feeling sick, which rarely happens, and is worried about his scheduled fishing trip with a couple of boys he graduated with....it was nice of them to call and invite Taylor. I am stressing about him going so far, but he rarely gets to do anything, so I am biting my tongue over venting my worries.
A neighbor around the corner from our land, told Rodney that he killed the biggest snake he ever saw, and that it 26 rattles on it's tail! He also said he was shocked to see a mountain lion walking leisurely through the field beside his house the other day. The land is part of a larger parcel that has only had cattle on it for years, and no people, so it's no wonder the wild life has been pretty much isolated. There was a deer shot off the land behind us with the largest rack ever recorded. Evidently, a prominent hunter with his own show was filming his show on this piece of land after hearing about this kill. We haven't see any deer on our property at all. We have plenty of snakes, hawks, ducks, cranes, hogs, turkey, coyote and gophers galore, but no evidence of deer so far. We probably have too much open space now that we have trimmed the brush, cut the head high tall grass, and they aren't attracted to our area anymore.
