Ok, a day has passed. There's a lot of finger pointing going on out there. The plan was to dig 12" below grade and build back up to grade with 120 tons of sand. They ended up 36"-48" below grade before the digging stopped. Oops! Lots of guys were standing there talking on their phones. They claim the original measurements they were given were wrong. Anyway the excavation company has to swallow the bill for the extra sand and they've been sitting around a lot waiting for the trucks.

The ditch is running so slow they didn't need to pump out the reservoir behind the dam this morning. The weather forecasters are talking 80% chance of rain for tonight and 70% for tomorrow morn. I hope they are right. These guys understandably don't want rain before the tubes are put down but for us farmers it would be a million dollar rain. Jim
