Right!!!
I think the well is 340' but the pump is sitting at about 275'.
Hope Leonard was aware enough of what I asked him.
He just gets upset because he can no longer take care of all this stuff.
Me? I just stumble along.

Pulling a well, (pulling the hoses and/or pump out of a well), is a rather difficult task. In my relatively recent adventure, we did it twice.
The problem is the weight of the water in the pipes, multiplied by the length of the pipe. That stuff is heavy. It's lighter when you're putting it back in, but it's still very important to not let go.
Then you have to fill up the pipe with water, (called priming the pump). You'll need extra water for that.
The first water you pump will likely be a little bit turbid. That should clear up soon enough.
Then you can say, "There, that wasn't so difficult, was it?"
The rules appear to be different where you live.
That’s just one of the reasons that I live here instead.
Leonard and I are getting (got) old. We need help with many things. Leonard is 95 and sharp as a tack but has trouble getting out and about.
Me ..... I’m just a baby. :)
Bible in a Year:
Worship the Lord with gladness; come before him with joyful songs.
As I waited in the breakfast buffet line at a Christian conference center, a group of women entered the dining hall. I smiled, saying hello to a woman who stepped into the line behind me. Returning my greeting, she said, “I know you.” We scooped scrambled eggs onto our plates and tried to figure out where we’d met. But I was pretty sure she’d mistaken me for someone else.
When we returned for lunch, the woman approached me. “Do you drive a white car?”
I shrugged. “I used to. A few years ago.”
She laughed. “We stopped at the same traffic light by the elementary school almost every morning,” she said. “You’d always be lifting your hands, singing joyfully. I thought you were worshiping God. That made me want to join in, even on tough days.”
Praising God, we prayed together, hugged, and enjoyed lunch.
My new friend affirmed that people notice how Jesus’ followers behave, even when we think no one is watching. As we embrace a lifestyle of joyful worship, we can come before our Creator anytime and anywhere. Acknowledging His enduring love and faithfulness, we can enjoy intimate communion with Him and thank Him for His ongoing care (Psalm 100). Whether we’re singing praises in our cars, praying in public, or spreading God’s love through kind acts, we can inspire others to “praise his name” (v. 4). Worshiping God is more than a Sunday morning event.
Reflect & Pray
In what ways can you joyfully worship God throughout the day? When has someone else's worship led to your own?
Almighty God, please help me live to worship You with contagious joy and gratitude.

When Bobby Was Seven
When Bobby was seven,
He liked playing games,
Liked working out puzzles,
And had puzzled aims.
He mostly was smiling,
About average size,
And his exercise program,
Involved mainly his eyes.
He liked to hear music,
Couldn’t figure out dance,
His movements reflected,
All those ants in his pants.
As his friends fondly noted,
There was surely a way,
Having made it to seven,
He’d grow up one day.

Bible in a Year:
When your words came, I ate them; they were my joy and my heart’s delight.
Early in his fifty-year ministry in Cambridge, England, Charles Simeon (1759–1836) met a neighboring pastor, Henry Venn, and his daughters. After the visit, the daughters remarked how harsh and self-assertive the young man seemed. In response, Venn asked his daughters to pick a peach from the trees. When they wondered why their father would want the unripe fruit, he responded, “Well, my dears, it is green now, and we must wait; but a little more sun, and a few more showers, and the peach will be ripe and sweet. So it is with Mr. Simeon.”
Over the years Simeon did soften through God’s transforming grace. One reason was his commitment to read the Bible and pray every day. A friend who stayed with him for a few months witnessed this practice and remarked, “Here was the secret of his great grace and spiritual strength.”
Simeon in his daily time with God followed the practice of the prophet Jeremiah, who faithfully listened for God’s words. Jeremiah depended on them so much that he said, “When your words came, I ate them.” He mulled and chewed over God’s words, which were his “joy” and “heart’s delight” (Jeremiah 15:16).
If we too resemble a sour green fruit, we can trust that God will help to soften us through His Spirit as we get to know Him through reading and obeying the Scriptures.
Reflect & Pray
How has reading the Bible changed you? Why might you sometimes not read it?
God, the Scriptures feed me and protect me from sin. Help me to read them every day.

Goodnight. So happy you got to enjoy some sunshine!
I got to ride the horse, and not freeze “to death”, for the first time in weeks. Was really nice. 😁
