    Asked a grocery clerk if they had any toilet paper today... she didn’t even hesitate. “Up your ass” was her response haha. She got super nervous because she thought I was serious and she was just sick of people asking and snapped back. We had a good talk and a laugh (luckily I didn’t need any TP).

    I went to move my truck and prep it to go get my new wheeler tomorrow morning and... Click, click. I think it's the solenoid. It's been temperamental for a long time so if course it goes tonight. Looks like I don't get my quad until Monday. Plus I get to enjoy 30 degree weather while replacing a starter in the mud. FML

    So Mexico is concerned about the virus spread in the US, they say they are going to close the border. So they have the ability to do so? If so why have they not done this before?

    Try whacking the side of the starter a couple times with a screw driver handle or lightly tap it with a hammer. Serious suggestion. Usually when starter starts to go one winding dies first and whenever it stops at that winding it cant get going. Tapping it a few times will get it to turn a little bit to a working motor winding. It's not a permanent fix and you need to get it switched out pretty soon, but that usually will buy you a little time.

    Yes if hitting it with a hammer won't fix it you have yourself an electrical problem.

    The second largest component of the Mexican economy is wire remittances from the US. Why would they have stopped the outsourcing of their poor?

    The idiots at the well drillers, were supposed to show up on Friday to pull the pump. They did not show and did not call, so I called they tried to tell me that they never have hand pulled a pump, bullshit I have done it. They tried to tell me that the well is too close to the septic and out of code so they can't work on it, again bullshit we just had a realtor out a week ago and all measurements were done the well is not too close to the septic. I am shocked that the company I worked for has fallen so far. The 2 brothers who owned the company have turned it over to their kids to run the company right into the damn ground. The delay while it sucks it does give me time to get to work and build my own pump. I am upgrading, there will be no plastic impellers only stainless steel. It will be a 15 gpm and I went with 10 stages and a 3/4 hp motor. I also found a different driller to come out drive up with the rig and put the new pump in.

    We got a well drilled like that by me. The son has driven the business into the ground. He is in the death spiral of increasing pricing to make up for lost business which creates more lost business.


    What is code in MN distance wise?

    50', no way I would have a shallow sand point well that close. My well is 150' pump set at 145.

    Did a stress test today and did not have a stroke or heart attack. I tried to call Delta this morning to resolve my cancelation of the 4 trips I had scheduled. Never heard back so I went online to get an e-credit since I do not know when the trips will be scheduled. comes back they were not issuing a full credit was going to cost over $500 to cancel and rebook. This is BS so I called delta I get the platinum line so call back was going to be in 30 minutes. I waited outside because cell coverage sucks at home and when they finally call they can not hear me because I have 1 bar. Needless to say I was a tad frustrated. I had to drive into town to get better coverage and wait another half hour for a call back but it was resolved in a very satisfactory manner. I was all the way mad there for a while.

    Oh yeah in addition to no water my wife's vehicle is running like **** she limped to the auto repair place (bless her). Funny it has been paid off for a month and I begged her to get rid of it after the last $1500 repair.
