That looks like a professionally done cake. Looks like Opo really appreciates it.

If you can get me a pic of those labels on the tank it would help. Where is the air valve located? If that tank is a pressure tank there should never be water coming out of the air valve. There should be a rubber bladder inside sectioning the tank so one side holds air and the other side holds water. If the bladder gets a hole in it water enters the air side. The electric box in front. You notice a wire in conduit running over to the little gray box. That is your limit switch. There are different limit ranges but I will use a 30/50. Meaning when the pressure in the tank gets down to 30 psi the pump turns on. When the pressure builds up to 50 the pump turns off. With a pump going on and off either your pressure tank is bad or your limit switch. If you can get pics of the labels I should be able to find out what system you have.

It's not really a 'brand' per se. The guy who digs the well puts together the submersible pump, tank and all the electrical parts piece meal. But tomorrow I'll go out and see if there are any labels.

Lots of Russian torts being smuggled,

The tortoises were put into sacks and hidden with several tonnes of cabbages. Their value was estimated at £62,000.

That is terrible.

That is terrible.

And you figure, these are the ones that get caught. I’m sure there are others, many others, sneaking through the system.

Happy Tuesday, everyone!

Happy Tuesday, everyone!

Indeed!

Ach! And 'tis vurra hot out there, lads and lassies!! According to the map it's only 86F right now, but it sure feels hotter than that! I had to come in and cool off. And I really doubt I'll be going back out. Oh well. . . all the work that needs doing will still be there tomorrow.

Same here - hot, sticky and yucky. We had a quick thundershower yesterday, but it was like adding water onto boiling rocks in a Finnish sauna. Just made it steamy!

I have good intentions to move some wood around, but the moment I pick the wheelbarrow up to get going, I retreat inside to the cool basement and a/c.

All finished, it’s was only an hour long exam plus extra time for me. Yippee

Well done Ben, now a long summer to enjoy - when it arrives in the UK!

Send me a pic. I refer to myself as Jack of all trades master of none. I have always fixed repairs around the house. Built my first house at 21 and never stopped learning since. It was harder in the 80"s. You had to figure things out yourself or pry some info from a tradesman that didn't want to give his knowledge up for free. No Google back then.

Thanks Ray, I can't take pics at the moment on my cheapy phone, and it's pretty inaccessible because of the way the tanks have been fitted, but you reminded me of the time that Ed once fixed my car for me via the CDR!!!

 

[Lyn W]

Thank you. Today is Opo's birthday so there will be some pics of the celebration.

Happy Birthday Opo!
I hope Daddy made you a lovely cake like this

Pix of our three banana pods in various stages of development. We’ve only ever had one pod grow before, so this is exciting. Lots of cute bananas. Ive been upping the amount I water now...probably 10 gallons per day.

Quite annoying but appropriate I think!

That's very sad!

I was thinking of trying my car insurance first. They paid to have my house redone for my needs. 70000 dollars worth. I am just a little apprehensive but all they can say is no.

It's hydrotherapy so they should at least consider it. Maybe your doc will give you a letter supporting your request!!

Wow impressive growth! You have done well for him Ray.
Lovely birthday cake, he is a lucky boy!!!

 

[Lyn W]

Yep I grated up some carrot and put it around. He did end up with frosting on his nose.

I have that trouble when eating creamy cakes too!

 

[Lyn W]

I don't understand how nature can survive such plunder. After seeing the picture it makes me wonder if there are any Russian tortoises left in the wild.

There are too many stupid humans on this planet!!!
