Aleta's New Sewer

This is the MAIN reason I came to visit and I've been arm wrestling with the township sewer authority...they've fired their engineer and office help while losing buckets of $$$ and nobody knows what they're doing.
We got the inspector to buy off the installation. Now I just have to get rid of the little shed and two big logs for the mill. Then I can schedule the yard re-grading to the tune of about 180 cubic yards of dirt and install an automatic sprinkler system sourced from the old well for free water.

Brother and I Visiting B&O Museum w/Grandkids

Philip is very excited to be in a real steam locomotive and they even have operating sounds. My brother is visiting from MN by way of Virginia and so we've gone down to Baltimore to see a very impressive museum

Tree Work In PA

Now that I've made it to Aleta's and she has found a few thinigs for me to do... A 60+ mph wind knocked down a couple of trees that I have to dispose of. In the meantime, I chase Ella and Philip around in the yard and through the woods - coincidentally checking for poison ivy.
