11:25am- through the mud and muck, pipe laying continues today. Crew approaching STA 70+00. 4 joints laid so far this morning. More rock breaking occurring.  12:02pm- joint #5 getting graveled up.  1:05pm- still having to break rock... 1:35pm- #6 headed to the ditch.  2:07pm- 7th joint now in as rock breaking has gone away now. This would have been the beginning of the 20’ encasement area, but again, due to top ground grade change, the engineer has allowed a double layer of rip rap instead of encasement.  3:30pm- 10th joint for the day now.  4:12pm- rain falling with 11 joints  laid for the day. Crew is at MH E24, but will dig to set it tomorrow.
