Best water I ever knew of was in Texas. Mom & Dad had bought their land from one family (the M's), and his father supplied the whole area with water from his well. He had been supplying water for many years when a state inspector stopped by one day and asked how long it had been since his last inspection. He looked at the inspector a bit odd and said he had never been inspected. Uh-oh!

Well, the inspector was expecting the worst. Old Man 'M' showed him to the well and he proceeded to open up the well's storage tank and have a looksee. He turned on his flashlight and was shocked!! He could see right clear to the bottom of the underground tank! After a couple minutes of silent amazement, he turned to Old Man 'M' and said he usually couldn't see clear to the bottom in a BRAND NEW tank and well, and certainly never a tank that was crystal clear! That same tank had been there and in use for over 20 years at the time, and the well was probably more than 40 years old, but had originally been drilled for ag/livestock use before they started selling off portions of the land. ...Sure do miss that water! However, the water we have here is nearly as good. ...Or at least it was! A neighbor set a fire that burned our land and took out the old barn, which sat 3' away from the well. Now the old barn slab is fully exposed to the elements and is leeching lots of minerals into the ground, which are being pumped into the house. In addition, the fire took out the pump house and burned through the lines, which has allowed some sort of bacteria to get in the lines. So now if there is ANY part of the water lines in the house that sits for more than a week, it has a horrible, almost sulfur smell to it. So we're not drinking the water anymore. Hoping to re-do the well and all the water lines within the next year or two - or maybe relegate that old well just for outside and drill a new well for the house.

Today's Featured Article - Hydraulics - Cylinder Anatomy - by Curtis von Fange. Let’s make one more addition to our series on hydraulics. I’ve noticed a few questions in the comment section that could pertain to hydraulic cylinders so I thought we could take a short look at this real workhorse of the circuit. Cylinders are the reason for the hydraulic circuit. They take the fluid power delivered from the pump and magically change it into mechanical power. There are many types of cylinders that one might run across on a farm scenario. Each one could take a chapter in ... [Read Article]
