(written on the 23rd from notes taken previously)
Spent the morning on YouTube stuff before getting gas and heading north to see the dentist.
Really grateful to have this dentist. 🙏
Turns out the tooth I thought The filling had already worn pretty much completely through was a different tooth than the one that was filled before. 🙃
Looks like it was just my super sensitive exposed roots acting up and not any mistake from the dentist.
They looked me over, and then did a fluoride treatment on the route line in the hopes of reducing the sensitivity, and then sent me on my way.
Free of charge. 😶
Generally, as y’all know, my experience with medical providers is pretty cruddy, but man, this dentist and his team are phenomenal. Full stop.
After getting back to the ranch, I spent most of the rest of the day sifting dirt and filling and compacting dirt around the form-a-drain and foundation to raise the water level.
Lots and lots of work. Good progress. 🎉
Ran into some issues here and there (I think I might have broken the form of drain in a few places with the tamper, because I noticed there were a couple of places on the bottom of the form of drain that had broken down, the plastic sort of hinging toward the ground. 😕).
Tired.
Ate dinner with Heather and Hans, chatted for a bit, and then took some goodbye pictures since I’m leaving for Utah tomorrow.
It’s going to be a good little while before I’m back in South Dakota.
Lift the world.
Bring it on.
