61a: Well, maybe a little bit more

It's official - this is going to take much longer. Around the bend we were aiming for, we can now see...damn it - more dirt! When this is finished I swear I'll be happy to live in a concrete jungle and if I so much as see a pot-plant of dirt...out the widow it goes.

Nah, just kidding, but it makes what was exciting, mundane again for a few months at least I'd say. Poor IJ's pissed off but as this was his baby, he'll be back into it as he's already talking of a sled with a rope at each end to drag a dirt bucket back and forth to sped the process upon the 2nd way station is deep enough.

If the whole thing is 20 metres long, that's a scary prospect in tight spaces.
