Good afternoon everyone.

Jim, like Jay said , if you need anything let us know.

Well, it's finally back close to normal around here. My nephew went home last night. It was a long (but good) 2 days with him here. With him and my youngest, it's like having twins.

Jim I do not envy you haveing to get surgery done. I have gotten my acl done, and thats the only surgery I have ever gotten, and it was really weird. Something I hope I never have to go through again.

Ill never forget that feeling of getting knocked out, then waking up an hour or so later wondering wtf was going on. If I wanna do that Ill just drink too many beers!

Baby show Mr. Brown a little boob and I'm sure you'll have a nice shiny exhaust tip by 6:00 tonight.

Thanks Joe and Jim, It turns out they arent frozen (or at least thats not the main problem) I turn on the breaker, run down to the well, and nothings moving at all, that means that my nice expensive top of the line (or top dollar anyways) constant pressure submersible berkeley pump, is screwed! Its been just a shade over a year since we installed it too, NICE!!
YouTube - Mama Don't Let Your Babies Grow Up To Be Cowboys Willie Nelson

does it have a thermal coupling...shuts down if it gets hot?

Maybe it froze up, the unit heated up and the heat from the pump melted the ice

Yeah..that is happening actually. Shirt creeps up, pants creep down. My jeans I can take off without unbuttoning them.

Four. At least. And large strawberries instead of cherries.
