Septic guy wants me to dig the holes says one in the front corner and
one in the back corner. I have no clue from the town's as-built
septic plan what holes they are. There seems to be six points on the
chart. The first two are close together and look like a square with
two holes. Four more spread out to the back lawn with the a line
coming from holes one and two to another one with a square. I don't
understand the drawing I'd rather not end up digging six holes!
Thanks.

Thank You!

As a bagpiper, I was asked by a funeral director to play at a
graveside service for a homeless man who had no family or friends. The
funeral was to be held at a cemetery in the remote countryside and
this man would be the first to be laid to rest there.

As I was not familiar with the backwoods area, I became lost and being
a typical man, did not stop for directions. I finally arrived an hour
late. I saw the backhoe and the crew who were eating lunch but the
hearse was nowhere in sight.

I apologized to the workers for my tardiness and stepped to the side
of the open grave where I saw the vault lid already in place.

I assured the workers I would not hold them up for long but this was
the proper thing to do. The workers gathered around, still eating
their lunch. I played out my heart and soul.

As I played the workers began to weep. I played and I played like I'd
never played before, from Going Home and The Lord is My Shepherd to
Flowers of the Forest. I closed the lengthy session with Amazing Grace
and walked to my car.

As I was opening the door and taking off my coat, I overheard one of
the workers saying to another, "Sweet Jeezuz, Mary'n Joseph, I never
seen nothin' like that before and I've been putting in septic tanks
for twenty years."

Well, the vaults and tanks come from the same yard, and at least in the
town where I grew up, they were planted by the same guys with the same
yellow backhoes.....
