Why not add a mote?

Started digging up that plumbing yesterday, following along the current line and it feels like I'm digging a shallow mote. Especially when I met the area that's backing up and water flowed down the channel. It would be rather neat to own a medieval style castle look-alike and have a mote integrated with a creek. But I imagine there would also be some complications in owning something like that. Worth it, though?

The project will take a little longer than anticipated... I was hoping to complete it tonight, but that's not going to happen. Rain is coming this weekend, as well, so no digging then. No big deal, though. The leak will just flow into the channel and slowly soak into the ground around it until completion. I was planning on getting all the replacement piping today, but there's a chance I won't be able to due to life circumstances. If I can't today, I'm sure I will within the next few days. 

Also, I decided to mess around a little with ChatGPT and the like. I work on medical equipment and like the art-deco style, so I had it create an image of me around medical equipment. Whilst I never wear a lab coat and such, this is definitely me.
