AJ did his obligatory birthday swim yesterday. Luckily for him we were a balmy 63 degrees and sunny.   

He was also hot and sweaty before the swim because we had just finished digging out the septic tank lids - we are having septic issues. The septic companies are backed up (no pun intended) due to the saturated ground, so they said if I did the work of getting the tank uncovered, they could squeeze me in on Friday.  They are scheduled to be here at 9:30 this morning.  Septic issues are my nightmare.  The back-up only flooded part of the garage, so clean-up is easier, but I'd rather not deal with it at all.  I just had it pumped in March 2023 too, so it's just that all the rain this year isn't letting anything leach out.

From the way-back machine....this is one of my favorite photos of Ralph and AJ.
