A good day yesterday. No TIA's.:)
I watered my grass after cutting it and then discovered a problem with the pump.:( After a search on the net it seems that my preasure tank has become waterlogged. I guess today I'll have to bypass it.and see it will continue to give me problems. The old pump has been running for almost 30 years at my place. I guess it's time I had to do repairs. I hope I don't have to pull the point up and clean it. That's a big job. The sand points in this area get clogged with iron deposits and require an acid bath to remove the deposit. I should be able to get one of the neighbors to give me a hand as I've installed wells for them.

I'm sure that it shouldn't be a problem with your neighbors helping, as you've been a good neighbor to them over the years! Do you have hard water there? Member Since: February 3, 2011 Posts: 65 Comments: 11322

Hi Tony.My fishing trip is over.Now I'm trying to get the energy to go kayaking and off road biking.The 90 degree weather is coming back in a couple of days so if I want to go out and play I'd need to do it at sunrise.:) Member Since: July 7, 2001 Posts: 59 Comments: 13135

Just don't over do things Tony. Don't want to hear you had to be rushed to the hospital again. I am sure your neighbours will be happy to help you with your pump. So nice to have cool weather again even if its only for a few days but it sure helps to be in the low 80s rather than the low l00s. Stay well dear one. Catch you tomorrow.
