episode 31

In the previous episodes

Our guests from Poland went away and so did the good weather. Winter and late autumn took over. One of the brave people from Belgrade still came here. Djordje and we had a good time though. Catching the last rays of sun and feeling the bite of winter he felt how it is to be a city cowboy.
And so the next guest came. His name was Jinx!!

Shit happenes

Well for a long time we had no guests. Not even sun. and then the guest came. Jinx was his name.
First Cowgirl's hard disk and the whole computer failed and then a few days after my computer failed with all of our data on it.
And then the big one came! Our septic tank caved in. Actually first we thought it is just full but when we ordered the guy to clean it up, he just came and said there is nothing he can do and that we need a new one.

Then I tried for three days to get in touch with the guy who builds septic tanks. And finally managed to get in touch. Finally my neighbor Steva met him in the woods and told him that we need his services. And the builder came (actually he looks like Sean Connery's double and does a diametrically opposite job) and saw the situation. He said that it is a though ground to work on and that he'll need to dig to the depth of 3,4 meters to get to the sand that is required for the proper drainage.

And so they started working and I bought working material. It cost a pretty penny having our current budget in mind.

And so the Jinx continued to visit us still. Rain and snow was falling every second day. When the end was in sight well guess who came... Yeah our good friend Jinx we were missing a couple of bricks to finish so I had to take bricks out of the old septic tank(that is the closest you can literally get to being in shit up to your neck). And finally the new tank was functional at last.
Hey, we need a lid on the hole but yes you guessed it rain is falling so the concrete can't set so we are on hold till the rain stops.





If anybody in the city (honorable exception to the sewage workers) complains about the working conditions again I'll just call him for a few days on building septic tanks here with us here. Will go back with a smile on his face....

But still all in a days work of Nedjo, Atila and yours truly and stinky City Cboy!!
