If I had RO tap water I would definitely feel better about our tap water for my animals. What bothers me is I'll bet the water here would destroy the apparatus in a short time 🤔🙃 it does everything else. Plumbing, humidifiers, etc etc...

It's interesting, we have a friend that swears that RO water makes her whole family ill. I don't know what's going on but she was adamant so I didn't argue with her.
What do you have their Ms Cathie? Iron, calcium, hydrogen sulfide smell?
All of the above?
Calcium is usually the "killer of all things plumbing".
The only thing that generally bother me in some well water is iron.....some wells are orange and leave that nasty aftertaste. Thankfully, we have good water here and we don't need any of the Softening equipment I had installed at the old house.
Won't be going to the Caribbean after all, it's going to take them some time to rebuild. The place we stay was evacuated this morning.
We took a ride in the convertible this evening......was very nice in the country.
Didn't get the bikes listed yet but managed to give one away.....I need to get them listed! LOL

Happy 4th guys!
We are playing outside today. Moving things, finding homes for things. We've even cut a path through all the boxes on the garage by putting things away!
FWIW- For some reason I have 12 motorcycle seats. Yup. THAT'S what poor Kerry is dealing with.
Here are the bikes I kept at their temporary home in the driveway. Eventually the car goes in the garage and my truck goes back under the canopy.
Bikes go in the living room...lol

Is that a good thing?
At my weather station in the backyard, we clocked 100 degrees with a feels like of 115. Indoor exercise today
Damn you all need to move to FL to cool down. 😁
I woke up this a.m. to no water, and since we're in the middle of a heat wave with triple digit temperatures, and my evaporative cooler works on water, this was NOT a Martha Stewart 'good thing'.
My water is pumped out of the ground with a pressure system. When the pressure gauge gets down in the low pressure zone the pump turns on and pumps up more water into the tank.
So I placed an early morning phone call to my personal plumber/pump guy, who just happens to be my son-in-law, and lives a stone's throw away from me. He dropped everything (yeah, right!) and rushed right over.
An hour later he drives up, parks by the pressure system, gets out of the truck holding a screw driver, walks over to the pump and taps the handle of the screw driver onto the little electric box that encases the points. Pump starts right up! He gets in his truck and drives away.
I have water!!

Maybe it took an hour to get there because he had to go get the right screwdriver.

Perfect, just perfect! You sure don't need that drama, not in weather like this!
All the bikes came inside yesterday, not all in their permanent homes but at least inside. This morning I installed a window AC in the garage. I have been running a dehumidifier out there since I put my boxes in there to keep them solid so it was 89F/34% humidity this morning when I turned it on. It's 98 outside but the little AC is doing alright...it's 85F/35% humidity after 6 hours. I can work in that environment but that won't be till tomorrow...today is a rest day. It's really a "jeff hurt his back in Williamsburg and it hasn't gotten better" day.
My plan with the motorcycles was to save the good bikes then sell the "trash bikes" after all the good bikes were moved. Today, I listed the first ad for one of the 5 bikes for sale. I was working on the 2nd listing when I got a call from a guy 15 minutes from my home..............he said he will call me Monday when I go back on that side of the Bay and will buy them all.
I kind of figured they'd go quick. Of course we'll see if he shows....but my gut says he will. I trust my gut....I haven't listed any more bikes.
Hope everyone is staying out of the heat....on a bright note, Hummingbirds are coming to my feeders here at the Nook! I've seen 2 different ones so far. I moved the feeder and one came down to the old location, looking for it...they he saw it and flew to it!
