Call a plumber about cleaning out the drain from the downspout in front of our house. (Towers Plumbing sending a technician, Pedro, before 10:30 a.m.)

Debbie and I slept in.  She took Bruder, Clara's dog, for a walk.  I had my personal prayer.  When Debbie got back we had prayer together.  I called Towers Plumbing. and they sent Pedro Uriostegui and a young man in training, Andrey Smith, this morning at about 10:30 a.m. to clean out the downspout drain buried in the front yard.  They vacuumed as much of the small rocks from the roof shingles that had collected and stopped the drain as they could; They used a camera to go down the drain.  I was clogged with dirt; they used a small water pressure machine but it was not very effective; they went back to the shop and brought a large high pressure, up to 6,000 psi, and opened up the drain line; they continued until the corrugated pipe line was clean. They did not finish until about 3 p.m. and cleaned up their work area.  It cost $1,507 but still less than digging up the drain line and a lot less of a mess in our front yard.  It was 3 years ago today that the company sent Alex. (from my notes: Alex Kiro, a Plumber came to home in Lehi for Molen kitchen faucet leak (did not charge anything on Saturday, 21 Nov. 2020). Matt had an appointment around 1 p.m. with investors about raising capital to grow his business faster.  I sent Tylee a happy 18th birthday wish from me and Grandma Debbie but I put 17 instead of 18 for her age.  Matthew worked when he got home this evening on the downstairs theater room equipment.  We went to Best Buy twice to get Amazon foxfire controls and adaptor.  Matthew has it about completed; we watched a movie on TV.  Debbie and I had prayer and got to bed about 1 a.m.
