Well, I was digging a trench for an electric line and I wanted it deep where I have a shallow ditch. So “Call before you dig!”

I called myself, “Self, where’s that sewer pipe you put in a few years ago?”

“Why, it has to be right here, so it’s safe to dig over there with the tractor blade!”

So I did:

Well, it seems I sighted on the dog path, rather than on where the old trench was….

Anyway, you can see where the blade took a big hunk out of the 4 inch sewer pipe. , and where I sawed that piece loose and replaced it with a new piece. Fortunately, the fresh water pipe was not broken. The cable, well….

PS: Astute viewers will have noticed the tractor blade in the first picture is not in the same position as when I broke the pipe.
