Yeah, I've been working on this spring for about a month now, and it tested positive for bacteria. After some research, I decided to add a whole house water purification system...after installation I re-tested the spring at the house and it came back spotless. We've always had a reliable artesian well, our main water supply, but this year I it stopped producing and we had to rely on our storage system. Hence the attempt to restart the spring. Luckily things have worked out well.

Wow, I have been out of sports for awhile. I just found out today that the Astros are in the American League now. And the only reason I found out is because the Internet stated they beat the Yankees in Yankee stadium. What's next? Lights at Wrigley Field? LOL.

Also watched American Sniper on HBO today. Very sad ending. Survive four tours in Iraq, and get killed in America by an American Marine. Unreal.

Not too lively Jim with all the traffic brakelight tango between here and Burlingame last 8 days. Did find it is faster to cross Dunbarton and come up 101 rather than the SM bridge. my .02

I hate the Bay area traffic and avoid that mess if at all possible.

For the past 30 years, whenever I drive to Sac (my brother lives in Folsom) I've always taken Pacheco Pass over to I5, avoiding 680/80 because I can't stand that traffic crap. I even avoid it if I'm going up when there's no rush hour traffic, if I can.

It sucks that my wife's Orthopedic knee surgeon is up in Fremont.

Well, that is one thing I can say I am glad about. For the most part Fresno has no traffic. Not the stop and go stuff in LA like I am used to. I'll take your word for the lousy traffic in the bay area as I have never been there except that one trip to Hayward to look at that flatbed tow truck two years ago. One main reason for leaving the LA area was the constant traffic problems. Even though, technically I did not live in LA but Orange County, and their roads were only marginally better. The I5 needs to be widened to six lanes on each side, but there is no room unless they start tearing down businesses.
