Pretend Chat 2.14

Anybody watch "Justified"? That's a pretty darned handsome cowboy playing the lead. Not a bad show, but an awful lot of shooting. But each shooting was 'justified' hence the name of the show. After I watch all these episodes I'm going to look for the one jaizei asked about a few pages back. I'm almost finished with NYPD Blue.

Wake up! What are you all doing?

 

[Yvonne G]

The propane man came today. $2 a gallon. Thank goodness I was only down to 60% so it didn't cost too much to fill up. But he only filled it to about 85%. What's with that? Why don't they fill it all the way up?

That could be an expansion pocket left on purpose. I've no idea one way or the other but that came to mind. We had 1000 gallons of water delivered today. We've got a 1500 gallon water tank in the garage and have been buying water for 6-8 weeks now. We pay $160.00 for 1025 gallons about every 10 days or so. Of the 7-8 years we've lived here, our wells, (2) have gone dry at the end of the summer all but one year.

Wouldn't it be cheaper to dig the wells deeper?

 

[Yvonne G]

Ken: Is this just drinking and flushing water? Have you gotten enough rain to keep the pastures green?

 

[Cowboy_Ken]

Household water. No city services out here other than electricity as for making the well deeper, as it stands our main well is in the area of 500' deep. This makes it about 100' deeper than the creek on the other side of the road from us. As it stands we've something like 7-9 wells dug here and these 2 wells are the only producers. Well drillers are happy to setup and drill all your money away, then the well may collapse when the pipe is pulled out. It's a bad mess all the way you look at it. All is brown now because we only hand water the plants that mean something to us individually.

I asked about that one time the fuller it is apparently the less they can fill it up something like that

Probably has to do with internal pressure of the tank I'm thinking for a reason I can't explain.

I'm exhausted. Busy homeschool day plus hatching out babies is crazytown. So much fun but I am ready for bed. 7 hatched, 2 to go.

I had to take them off damp papertowels because they started eating them. At first I lined the existing papertowels with big romaine leaves and piles of greens, but this evening I pulled out the papertowels and put in long strand sphagnum moss and a new hide.

So cute! What is he? What's his name?

 

[Yvonne G]

Misty is a doberman with a fairly long tail and un-cut ears. She's a great doggie and my faithful companion.

 

[mike taylor]

Morning to all Tortoise people !

 

[Yvonne G]

What about non-tortoise people. Why do you leave them out? Quite snobby, if you ask me.

Was going for only a $1 here about a month or so ago.

 

[Jacqui]

Yipes!

I went to the backyard to check on things and noticed how quiet it was. Then the siren went off. You could hear the hail front as it moved in across the field. The dog I am babysitting for started crying, so I went and took him into his house and stayed with him, as the heavy rain and winds hit. Winds were up to 70-80 mph. Was a bit scary at times, but the tornados went around us. Closest hit was about 3 miles away.

Lucked out with my only real damage being a huge top section out of a tree that fell on the garage roof.

 

[Jacqui]

My phone only announces road problems or Amber Alerts !

I get Ambers, tornado and flood alerts here.
