VT and NH backwards

I use a gimmick for those two…Maine is obvious so I view New Hampshire and Maine as being positioned in alphabetical order. 🤗

Say, did your water pump repairman make a showing today? I wouldn’t want to be him if he didn’t! LOL!

I just went to let Peaches back inside and it was lightly raining! I hope it continues. We saw some actual heavy rain down in Bryan and on our way home today. It was hard to see the road especially when I was behind a big ol’ truck for miles and miles that kept a large spray going. I was very glad to get around him!

I should say reverse alphabetical order if viewing west-to-east.
But consecutive none the least.

Yes, he came this morning while I was still asleep and when I didn’t wake up when he knocked, he called his dad (who is home sick with the flu) and had him call me. Fortunately this time I woke up when the phone rang. I didn’t hear it ring last week.

He said he did more troubleshooting, primed the pump, and it kicked on until it hit 80 psi, then kicked off like it’s supposed to do.
But I don’t think he waited around to see what would happen when the pressure slowly dropped back to 60 psi, which is when the pump should kick on again. He just came to the house to tell me I had water. I did but there definitely wasn’t as much water pressure as there should be. And not a half hour after he left, I had no water again.

I called John to tell him and as usual, I got his voicemail. And he obviously isn’t checking it while he’s sick because he never called back - - just like yesterday. I hope his son checked it whenever he got home and will come out tomorrow morning before the heavy rain gets here. Another night of going to bed early. *sigh*

I see a small patch of rain on the radar over your area that’s about to move off and another one south of you that MIGHT give you a little more.

We’re under a flood watch tomorrow through Thursday. NOT good if the well pump has to be replaced.

Yuck having to start off your trip home in the rain. At least it wasn’t raining for the whole trip.

I’ll bet the kitties were happy to see you. >^..^<

Well, what a mess that has become. I sure hope they get it fixed soon so you can not have to worry whether you’ll have water or not.

It was a bit nerve-wracking driving in heavy parts of the rain, but it’s so needed all over the state that I hate to complain. I’d love to get more here. So I hope that patch to our south hits the target here.

Wow! I canNOT believe that y’all are actually warmer than we are for a change. That must be feeling soooo good!

It’s turning into a disaster. If Hubby was still here, it would be taken care of by now because he would have done it.

Yeah, travelling on the interstate when it’s pouring, and being behind a big truck and its spray, IS nerve-wracking. At least you got through it and got home in one piece. That’s what counts.

We desperately need the rain we’re going to get the next two days but I do wish it would hold off at least one more day. Oh well, nothing I can do about it. Just have to hope I don’t need a new pump.

It felt really nice here today. It was 54 when I went out this afternoon and that felt balmy. LOL The nice thing was the air was wet. The air’s been so dry here lately and the humidity felt so good. The next couple of days are going to feel better with the temps in the 60s.

A very pleasant good Wednesday morning and ((HUGS)) to everyone at the Canteen and to all our military at home and abroad. Thanks for your service to our country and thanks Luvie for this morning's thread.

I got all but one state correct in 1:51. Not bad at all for a timed quiz.

Yesterday at Chisolm Trail Park:

How's everyone doing this morning?

The site said something about, “Accept Cookies.” Thank you but no thank you! I’ll flunk this test without even taking it.

I’m glad it’s finally warming up for you. All that cold stuff just sounded miserable. I know it was when WE had it! Maybe things will calm down for a while.

Fingers crossed you don’t have to buy a new pump! That sounds expensive! EEK!

LOL It looks like Gizmo really had a good time yesterday. Were you tuckered out by the time you went home?

You can bet your bottom dollar I’m glad it’s warmed up this week! LOL Last week was misery for all of us. We just aren’t used to that kind of weather here. I hope that’s all of that mess for a looooooong time.

You aren’t the only one who hopes I don’t have to buy a new pump. I shouldn’t have to pay for one because the current one should still be under warranty. It’s only been down there since last summer. Still have to pay for the labor, though, and that’s expensive enough. We’ll see what happens.

And since I have to get up early AGAIN, I need to head out and go to bed. Have a good rest of the night and enjoy sleeping with Peaches. I know he’s thrilled to have you back home to snuggle with.

Catch ya tomorrow.
