Fantastic Friday Washington, Tim, 350 Ken, Ken, Wayne, Steve and all the crew. It has been and beautiful day in my woods of West Virginia at about 80°, nice breeze, full sun and low humidity!
Jim, hope you did get time to dig in the dirt a little and narrow the leak down. What I have seen here in the past, I still say Acoustic Eq should be able to pinpoint the leak with the technology we have today!
Is Maria getting some use out of the lift yet.
Wifey, made pickles out of the last of the Cucumbers, Canned some butter and Boiling beef. I think tomorrow she is canning fresh Goat milk and Beef Talow! it is almost time to start cutting the herbs and drying them.
Ken, if you haven't taken 3 naps today you are behind! LOL It has been a lazy day, and I have had 3 this afternoon! Seeing how it is the Weekend Eve and about time to start the Party, I should be able to make it to 2230 and even push myself and make it 2300!

Sorry I didn't make it by yesterday, but by the time I made all the things I had to do yesterday, take mom back home and get home myself by 1800, I was too tired to do much! Retired and getting old sucks when your mind still thinks you are 19! OH how I wish there us a Face Plant Emoji!!

Wow 3 naps?
I only took 1 nap today but it was a long one!

My wife is having a couple of her sisters over tonight thru Sunday night so I'll be spending time either napping or getting stuff done in the barn.

Evening guys,

We did dig in the dirt today, didn't find the leak yet. We did install another mainline valve to help isolate the leak. Pointed out to one customer that they have a leak on there side of the meter, they were going to work on that this afternoon.

Rod, I've tried the broom stick thing a few times but no luck, it's just not enough of a leak and there is just too much road noise. Unless we made a mistake and overlooked something we have it narrowed down to about 300'.

Sensational Saturday Washington, Tim, 350 Ken, Ken, Steve, MIA Wayne and all the crew. It will be a beautiful day in my woods. It is Sunny, started at 50°, Currently 74°, headed to and afternoon high of a sunny 80°, light breeze and relatively low humidity.
After lunch I will be put mowing for the first time in 3 months, cleaning the yard and getting ready for the Nasty Season.

Glad you have narrowed the leak down to and short section and I am sure you will find it soon.

Off to fix something for lunch!

Nope, that is not part of our water leak, the customer leak is accounted for with the meter. The leak I'm chasing is not metered except at the well house.

Good Saturday morning, all! It's a beautiful day in my neighborhood today. So far, at least. The sun is shining, the sky is bright blue, and there's hardly a breeze to be found. A little chilly at 55 degrees but should make somewhere around 70 by day's end. Time to make some breakfast and get something done around the house before the weather changes for the worse. There's always some seasonal chore in the way of having fun.

Good evening, Washington, Tim, Wayne - you made it, and Roy. Yes, a beautiful day in my woods of WV topping out at a sunny and warm 81° nice light breeze and the humidity was about 50%. It sure did make it nice to do the yard work!

Lunch was a food Breakfast of a 2 XL egg omelet with cheese and 1/4 pound of bacon on the side!

Dinner is Rib Eye ends with the bone seared and finished in the oven to medium and steamed seasoned broccoli!

Wayne, I have been missing them beautiful pictures of Sun Rise and set.
