More dreary yet still.

Good morning,
It is still cloudy and a threat of rain/snow is in the air. At least it feels like it. The weatherman is saying the moisture will stay to the north of us. Don’t know about that. The day yesterday was dry, but windy and cloudy all day. Very dreary. The temperature remains higher than normal and are to continue that way at least until the middle of next week, when they will be higher yet still. This is winter?
Today I will be putting the cover back on the septic tank and close everything up again. Now I have acquired a clean-out cable capable of clearing the entire length from the house to the tank. Everything seems to still work very well. Probably will be digging up the entire length of the inlet pipe this summer. Not a task I really am looking forward too. Not too sure if there is some kind of misalignment of the pipe a couple feet from the tank. I also need to put a clean-out in close to the house. Because of the stiffness of the pipe there, I don’t think I will be able to "bend" it to insert the clean-out properly. Guess I could use the exercise. Can think of better ways to get the exercise though.
I spent most of the day working on the workbook for bible study. I have to stop doing research on the web. There is so much there and it is so interesting to find and read. But I think I have enough already! Actually I did start to write the workbook and have a couple pages in rough form. I had to stop though, as my head stopped working and somehow I acquired a doozy of a headache. Haven’t had one of those for a very long time. (Probably came from flushing so often!) Now comes the time when I am eager to get the workbook completed and assembled to see what it really will look like. Margriet is my intrepid proofreader. She has a lot more "correct" English usage skills than I have. The language difference in our backgrounds is really an advantage. Wish I had her skills though.
When the headache hit, it was time for supper to start being prepared. We had picked up a 10# bag of "boneless country pork ribs" for a reasonable price while in Green Bay on Tuesday. The ribs are actually trimming from other cuts of pork and turn out to be most often small roasts, just the right size for the two of us. I prepared it like a pot roast, a method we like a lot, with potatoes, onions, carrots, and celery. Turned out rather well and there is enough left over for another meal. Margriet had made a pile of chicken soup with dumplings the other day, so we have that for lunch. Makes for a pretty good diet I think. At least we both like it very much. None of the "fancy" food, but really good.
We probably should be thinking of taking down the Christmas tree for this year. We never did find any tensile to put on it though. Every year we say we are going to get some, but people must not use it much anymore as the stores don’t seem to carry it. At least the stores we go to. When we do find it, we probably should buy a case of it.
Time to flop some bacon in a pan with a couple of eggs and get the day a-going.
In Christ My Saviour,
Chris <><
