Getting Pumped



There are few things in life that are more important than water. The majority of you body is made up of the stuff, it's a billion dollar business world wide, sold with no flavor at all, to libations that keep you moving, to wiring you out.

Now let me challenge you, start your day and decide your not going to use ANY water. Got it, None. AHH ! not a drop.

No morning coffee, No shower, and brushing you teeth, well muster up some copious amounts of saliva mister cause remember you got no water. Don't wash you hands after going to the restroom, don't rinse your cup out, wet a napkin to wipe down the counter, or fill a pot to cook vegetables in. Think about it, that would suck.


Welcome to my Wednesday, Tuesday night (late) we discovered our well had and issue with bringing us water at the steady 60 psi that it has for the last 14 years. I'd go into the story about how the septic pump failed a couple months ago after 14 years costing me $1450 bucks but I haven't got the time.

Without water you cannot even flush a toilet (should have included that earlier), so you can see the importance of H2O, it is vital. I found the culprit in the control box at in the well house That little square black box is the starter relay, and after shutting off and on for 14 years it gave up. Now I am all for buying American, but if there is a Japanese company out there that can build a starter relay that will warn you before it is going to go bad, I'd buy it.
Having two females in a house without water is like having no frosting on your cupcake. It's still a cupcake, but it ain't as sweet. Woman use their weight in water ever time they enter the bathroom (on average) (made up statistic) and a house without water is no place for a man. His place is in the 110 degree pump house finding out why the God Damn think don't work.
So take care guys, watch your six when it comes to preventive maintenance. My luck the air conditioner will break down this week too. Although we have only had it 12 years with no maintenance, so I figure I have at least one more Summer before a break down.
