The Old Folks Home

I'm glad you got it fixed quickly but 19 years? That seems like a really short life for a well pump.

OK, I just Googled and it came up with 7 years average. SEVEN YEARS? Are they kidding?

Another site said
"With proper well maintenance, your well pump can last, on average of 8 to 15 years, though many homeowners report their pumps lasting far longer, often between 20 and 30 years!"

We had to replace ours about 5 years after we moved in. The people who did the work said 15 years was the average life expectancy. Ours lasted probably 20.

We had the same place come out and replace it. One of the guys remembered coming out the time 20 years ago; he had just started. They had to put a LOT of acid down the well to break it loose (whatever it is). It shot a geyser about 30 feet into the air and rained acid all

over

their

new

truck.

It totally ruined the paint on the truck. Yeah, I guess I'd remember that too.

I gave it a laugh "like' but wow, that is really sad about the truck!

My ankle was swollen pretty bad, and still hurt some. I put ice packs on it throughout the day. Today there is no swelling, and it's not hurting much at all. It's a little bruised. All signs indicate that it's nothing serious, and it will heal with time.

Hugs, glad to hear that!

Bought new phones, having a heck of time getting them paired to take my data.

Trying to banish my humbug attitude. It's seasonal and will dissipate, but hard to get in the holiday spirit today. I think it has to do with I feel saddled with ALL the holiday gyrations of presents for family and cards, decor, etc., and feeling scrunched for time.
What gets y'all in a festive mood?

 

[Peep_Show]

Okay. This made me laugh...

 

[pennyJo1960]

My better half gets me in mood. The Son does most the decorating here.
Buy the tree helps allot.

Christmas tree is purchased, and lawn ornaments are in place - wish I could say the same about my back.
