Break out the Dom Pérignon!!!!  Spafford’s hit first water at 58 feet and was getting 45 gpm, with no ochre, at 70 feet.  They stopped drilling at 80 feet.  The water is somewhat cloudy (due to the drilling) but expected to clear up quickly.  Meanwhile, I spent the day cutting, splitting, moving, and stacking sauna wood, filling the new woodshed by mid-afternoon.  Took six Kubota bucket-loads of wood, which should be a four to six months supply… and hardly made a dent in the pile of 8 foot logs awaiting their turn in the sauna stove.  And in the more good news department, the Town Lister stopped by today and was shown that there still is no reason to raise our tax assessment.  He’ll be back in October…
