Allegedly , 55’ farther , as far as it would go for the alleged total depth of 120’ drilled in 1987. Next door neighbor says the level has dropped 31’ over 30-years since he’s been there. Hope that trend continues.

One ant , one red ant , got *fried* between the contact switch points on my water well pum p when the pressure switch started to cycle on @ 40psi (shuts off @ 60psi). This...Caused the switch to insulate and not cycle the pump. Went out @ 12am after water pressure dropped to nothing , switched off everything cleaned it up , filed the contacts , and sprayed for insects. Mind you , this contact switch is like 2-months old.

My Grapes are not even close yet, but I am eating Cucumbers(4 types), Cherry tomatoes, Blueberries, Raspberries, Romaine Lettuce, and I picked my first sandwich size Tomato today but have 1 and a half store bought Tomatoes left before I start using them out of my garden.

I think it was too cold this spring for Strawberries this year where I live, I got a few good ones, but they were smaller than usual.

Taking one from waynos book. Get home and eat grapes right off the vine. Have to be faster than the spiders or ants though.

We lost a few to freezing weather at night , so I made the painful decision to pick all of them in fear of losing more than taking a chance

I don’t eat oranges but my son would clean that tree.

Down here in the peach orchards they spray the trees with sprinklers all night to keep them from freezing. It seems counterproductive for my simple brain but supposedly it works. Maybe something you could do/look into.

Thats a good tip. Considering I'm a city boy living in the country , i’m a little more receptive to suggestions/experience.

Lots of water down here (for us , for PNW guys its a normal day) . Had to sand bag low areas in the back acerage.I guess some birds/egrets swimming in the pond areas.

Amazing how much sand you can get in weight ve coverage. I suppose having it delivered by truck is the only way to go. Alas , i got the sand free bagged by prisoners... courtesy of the state.

Cooling fan module failed on the wifes car @ 128,280 miles. Tried an amazon special $17 one to test (knowing it would be 50/50 DOA). Solved the issue. Will be ordering a factory one once i sell my kidney.. tested evrrything else. Debating....to quickly adding a 2nd ground as a redundancy to the system (wife drives this car 98% of the time).

Tore the old one open out of curiosity.

Remember back when it was a thermo switch and a simple relay? I long for simpler times.
