Times are a' changin...

My father was a blue collar foreman for J&L Steel on the banks of the Monongahela River in Pittsburgh, PA.  He finally got his GED when he was in his 50's, and we proudly hung it on the hallway wall near the bedrooms.  My dad could fix anything; duct tape, hammer or a toilet plunger, and most every problem could be resolved.  

During breakfast this morning, my neighbor texted me;   

 
Reached out to our septic maintenance service;  they needed to see what errors were being flagged...
 
 Sent the photo over to them. I hope I don't need to jack my PC into the box.
 
I really miss the good old days when you only needed a 
plunger to fix a toilet and not a degree in Computer Science.

I think the days of "simple fixes" are long gone. I hope your septic system will soon be put to rights!

Been going back and forth with the maintenance company for a couple hours now; checking various status lights, etc. It's raining. The inside of the control box is wired for 50 amps of electricity. Happy, happy, joy, joy. System is showing high water in once chamber or another.

That electrical box is a nightmare.
