So, the other day I reported how my shallow (18 ft deep by 6 ft diameter) well ran dry first time in yearsssssss and blamed it on the drought. HOWEVER it appears I may have blamed my well prematurely. Sure it was running dry buttttttttttttttttttttttttttttt examination has revealed I SUDDENLY DEVELOPED AN UNDERGROUND WATER LINE WATER LEAK GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR
Hey if you keep pumping water out of it to a remote location where its not getting back in SURE IT CAN BE PUMPED DRY
However I had already planned to lay a new and improved line anyway (already have new pipe and fittings) which were gonna do tomorrow so not to worry mate. 30 and 40 years ago I ran that black roll plastic as was used back then but tomorrow Im running new 200 PSI rated heavy wall pipe woooooooooo hooooooooo
My buddy is showing up tomorrow morning with a backhoe and a trencher, I do attorney work for him and get re paid with backhoe and trencher and plumbing jobs
Many of you apparently missed my reason for hooking onto city water in the first place (had wells for 40 + years) was ONLY because its necessary to sell the place and discussed costs and advantages and disadvantages of wells versus city water. HOWEVER Im gonna have the BEST OF BOTH WORLDS NOW AND CHOICE. Im keeping the well operative (dont worry Im NOT backfeeding the city lines and am code compliant lol) I may use the well for car washing or watering etc., time will tell and its nice to have the choice and options ALL STILL WITH NEW HEAVY LINE
I wont know how to act after 40+ years of only one choice, pumps and priming and electricity etc etc., Now I just turn the valve I guess and most of our friends in similar situations (2 people only no kids) never go beyond the use permitted for $12.01 per month. Or I may use the well to some extent ??????? and pay for its electricity????
Yall take care n God Bless

Today's Featured Article - Third Brush Generators - by Chris Pratt. While I love straightening sheet metal, cleaning, and painting old tractors, I use every excuse to avoid working on the on the electrics. I find the whole process sheer mystery. I have picked up and attempted to read every auto and farm electrics book with no improvement in the situation. They all seem to start with a chapter entitled "Theory of Electricity". After a few paragraphs I usually close the book and go back to banging out dents. A good friend and I were recently discussing our tractor electrical systems when he stated "I figure it all comes back to applying Ohms Law". At this point
