So, I searched for the well service guy that used to come out (who wouldn't return calls or pick up the phone) and found he had a FB page for his business. Got in touch with him and he said he's drilling a well today but might be able to come out afterward if he gets the chance. Not holding my breathe for today but hoping sometime this week and that its something fixable. It sounds like the pump is trying to run but no water is going into it and I'm not sure why. It didn't have trouble getting water before. Maybe I need to raise the water level in the cistern. Might need to add a capped tee where the elbow is to allow water to be poured down to prime it or something in the future. Hoping there's nothing wrong with the pump itself. And I really need a better system for the filling of the tank.
Kept getting Amber alerts on my phone about a kidnapping of two children about 4hrs away from me. The mother was murdered. They caught the killer and he led them to the body of one kid. The older one was still alive but likely traumatized.

Good grief, will the insanity ever end ?
Nope, and it’s getting worse.
I have not tried it yet but have heard excellent things. I like the cork ornament. There's people who will collect each different letter until they can spell blantons with them.
I didn't know that.
One of our old members here is taking me with him next week on a private yacht into Mexican waters for some serious fishing. I can't wait!

That’s total ******** and you know it. He is a convicted felon. He was convicted by a jury of his peers. This is the way the legal system works, whether you’d like it or not. He is a danger to America, and the only person he represents is himself.
Maybe so, but get ready for 4 years , as he will be back, he is the odds on favorite.
Or ... enlightened!
Blinders on ... full speed ahead. He was in court, no charge of crime, or discovery presented to him. Judge gags him, denies almost all objections his lawyers raise, while approving almost all prosecutorial objections. Judge hand-picked vs. protocol of random selection. Primary charge outside statute of limitations, other "violations" listed - all misdemeanors ... and primary supposed violation was a federal matter, not state. Then, judge instructs jury it can find him guilty if for only three so find. White house sends federal justice official to carry the prosecution. ??
There is a litany of such violations of this ongoing lawfare against Trump. C'mon man.
LOL
Let’s talk about high food prices !
Trump bad…..Russia collusion
Have you seen home mortgage rates ?
Donald Trump is a threat to democracy !!!
Our southern border is a complete mess and our country is being invaded.
Orange man is a racist and a Convicted Felon !!
Those are the answers you get when talking to a Democrat……

I thought you had lost your mind for a minute
Havasu, what kind of fish can you catch on that trip? We used to go deep sea fishing off of Guam and got Mahi Mahi, Marlin, and Wahoo.
I got overheated outside today. Finally got well service people out to check things. If I'd had the pressure switch on the tank tee instead of keeping it on the pump, I might not have had the problems but I'm uncertain of that. Pressure tank needed to be adjusted, a compression fitting blew while they were working on stuff and the cover was off the pressure switch. Contacts on the new pressure switch burned up so we needed a new one put on, but they had one with them. They also had to put a check valve on inlet side bc the pump wouldn't maintain pressure properly without it. So, I derped in a couple of ways in the design, but it is fixed now. The guy had to manually adjust the new pressure switch and put on some new pvc fittings. On the upside, the new pressure gauge on the tank tee came in very handy, as did the hose bibb. The spigot let air out of the line. The funnel and bucket of siphoned water also came in handy. They were able to re-prime the pump with it. Having the sub panel with breakers right there also came in very handy. They were able to turn power on and off instantly. I think the liquid level switch may need to be replaced somewhat soon though. It is still being pissy. They said they've never wired a float switch to a 230v pump and have only used the lower voltage pumps for sewage sump systems.
Found out the owner of the company's father died just before Thanksgiving last year. I was sorry to hear that. I know he'd had cancer and had been the original owner of the company.
I'm currently cooling off with 3 fans blowing on me. Oh, and my kitchen sink faucet is dripping.
I suppose I should be glad that the JB Weld job I did on the sink has held up and the sink itself isn't leaking anymore. *knocks on wood*
Gonna need to take a shower, do some laundry, wash some dishes, get more trash bags, take trash out, clean the air fryer, clean the litterboxes, and take Mom to look for something to wear to cousin's son's wedding. I remember him as a very curious and intelligent child and he's grown into a very sweet and responsible young man. I think he was in the Marines and his fiance wants to be a doctor.

Hopefully some Bluefin tuna or Mahi-Mahi or Red Snapper, which is my favorite.
Mahi mahi with garlic, sea salt and butter grilled on aluminium foil is really good. I have a friend whose parents hated seafood/fish and I brought some over for them to try. Her dad was a wuss and wouldn't try it but her Mom really liked it. Said it tasted like chicken.
Went to clean Mom's toilet and noticed the tank didn't seem to be filling. I took the lid off and it was trickling in so I knew it was clogged. I put the Lysol cleaning gel in the toilet bowl and let it sit 20min while I watched videos on how to take apart tha fill valve to refresh my memory. Also chatted online with my sister and a friend. Went back and was at the part where I needed to turn the thing counterclockwise but it would not budge. Mom came in while I was cussing at it but she didn't hear what I was saying. She had to pee. I hopped up, put the lid up for her and went to get some pliers. Waited for her to leave the bathroom and went at it. Piece of plastic broke off but I finally got the stupid thing out. Plastic wasn't needed for anything fortunately. I think it was for fingers to grip to turn it, but all the sediment gunked stuff up and had it stuck. A few times in the process I turned water on to see if anything came out to try to flush the line. Got the thingamabob out and then pulled the strainer out of it with pliers. It was filthy and full of chunky black crud. I scrubbed the daylights out of it, rinsed the tube, ran water through the fill valve with a cup over the top before putting it back to make sure water ran smoothly without that stuff in. Put it back together, did a test to make sure water came out with strainer back in (with cup over the top to catch water spraying). I had trouble getting the thing to turn back in place properly at first and the float was not moving freely. Finally got it popped back in place and fiddled with the float until it moved easily. Checked to make sure it stopped filling at the right time. Fixed it and didn't even have to call my friend over. LOL.
Will have to get more of the toilet bowl cleaner and clean my toilet next. I've added it to my Samsclub order. I'll probably borrow the one from Mom's bathroom and use it in a few minutes. Then I can take a shower.

Z, by the way, it is Chris who I am going with.
My favorite way to cook all fish is on the BBQ, basted with 1 part soy sauce and 1 part butter. Yum...

I’ve been buying fresh frozen wild caught Coho Salmon from Alaska. 20# boxes.
I love it because it makes America great again
