Ditch repair

 

Yesterday I watched this "front loader" tear out the ditch on Blue Ridge Road. He loaded the various shrubs and small trees into a dumptruck. And he tamped down the fresh dirt. Then went on up the hill.  I had a few minutes when my cable went out, and I blamed him (well, I don't know where it comes from!!

I called the Town of Black Mountain, and they nicely checked if they were doing work on Blue Ridge Rd. Nope.

So I called Spectrum and we went through a recording which didn't give me a chance to have a cable outage for internet just for TV. I hung up. I called again and talked to a real person, who incidentally wanted to know problems with the recorded choices. Anyway we went through the standard re-boot procedures. My cable was restored. No need for a technician. Who knows how those guys at the ditch did something.

Today they are back...

This close post is a motion detected light, probably solar powered.

He's adding very big rocks to the ditch, and tamping them down.

The rocks are coming from the dump truck, which tilted so he could get the last of the load.

And that's the rest of the story.
