I slept a little later than normal so I was a little late going over to the pasture to feed Dottie and Leo. When I pulled up to the gate she started pawing at her fed bucket. I think she thought she was going to starve to death and was rushing me.

Oof. That sucks. This past summer I was having a lot of physical and emotional issues that was making it really hard to sleep, so I fully commiserate and understand.

Plan for today is get new the sump into place, plumbed and make another 80 or so gallons of water for the new tank/sump.
Still have a few minor things to do to the new sump but it can be done after the system is up and running.

Hopefully you are doing better now since you are all moved and settled?

Yes. Definitely, thanks. It helps me physically when I climb 2.5 floors of stairs. I mean that, with no sarcasm. And I’ve gotten mostly back to cooking all my meals(there was that one Dunkin’ delivery…). I don’t know if it’s true but I feel lighter too and my persistent lower back pain is mostly gone except when I push a little hard.

This is amazing news my friend! I'm very happy to hear it!
