Morning Tiny! All I have to worry about it the electrical. Any work down it the pit, or the pumps themselves, and I get to call the pros!

Morning Tiny! Sage advice!

Don, we have a lot of deer and turkey here around the plant. Same thing, no hunting on this land, so they are pretty brave. Especially the turkey!

Evening Dave! The pumps were "three phasing" Lost one leg and shut down automaticaly. Reset everything, and back to chopping crap! Made major browney points with the LLC because I didn't have to call in the pros too!

Temp was up to 68 yesterday and should be in the low 70's for at least the next week!
One of the first episodes of Dirty Jobs with Mike Rowe featured a segment on doing just that.

I remember thinking at the time that if an "American" would do this job, there is no such thing as "Jobs American's won't do."

Just as long as you're making trophies to stuff and not fill the freezer.

No, nothing will glow in the dark but there is a LOT that's crapped up out there.

Good evening Oregon and everyone everywhere else. Just getting back from my weekly trip to the VAMC in Portland.

Many more trips like the today's and I'm going to have to double the BP meds and request Lorazepam and Valium. What a flipping traffic zoo!!!!
