EWWWW!  you guys get in some stinky conversations!!!  :cd

Wow Ron!!!  100,000 to sink a well????  Good lord!

We were in a drought here for over 5 years until 2 summers ago when it turned wet and cold.  It was actually just what we needed for the flora to begin to recover.  We are still low but the past two winters of normal + snows have helped.

 I just cannot imagine what you guys in the west are enduring.

 We were surprised we had to go down 75 feet with our drilled well.  We put in sand points with a hand pounder (yep, we are mostly sand.  If you look at us on a topography map you can easily see we are a dried up ancient glacial lake) and usually hit good water at about 15 feet.  The house well was originally a sand point down around 35 feet but when we started having problems when the drought really got going, we decided we might as drill down closer to the house.  We paid about a $1000 but then most of DH's side of the family are in the business, including 2 of the boys that at the time were working for their great uncle's drilling business.  :D   ( They are both since in business for themselves in servicing and repair and are going together soon to do drilling as well).  We just made a call and waited to see who showed up.

Only thing making us nervous now is the way the current patterns are setting up, it looks like we may enter another drought cycle and we are still classified as "well below normal".  Last time we had this kind of spring pattern, we had a bone dry summer.  
I drove to the next town north today and didn;t like what I saw.  This time of year the rivers around here are normally way out of their banks and into the flood plains prompting flood watches to our south but all I saw were streams and rivers barely above mid summer levels.  Not a good sign.

We are lucky. We get a moisture flow from the Gulf. We seldom get really dry.

Hey everybody, sitting in my chair, feet propped up and computer (finally fixed...woohoo) in my lap. I just got home today from 3 weeks rehab after my right knee replacement. Fabulous experience. (Besides the pain ha) I met some wonderful new friends and had such a rewarding time. I followed the instructions implicitly and the results are amazing. My SIL kept saying " I can't believe how good you're doing. No limp and stamina is up and running. I was able to get out to the coops a couple of times today to check on the babies. No, they don't look as good. I had to change from fermented feed for Clint to put out.regular. Used twice as much also. They're a little neglected. But I'm home to bring them back to their beautiful glory. Great to be back.
