I'm on a 5 year plan... I'm 2 or 3 years in... That made me think of Jim Hunter, he has been married over 40 years, his wife Becky says she has never seen him shaved. 2 hours ago, Marvel said: Plus, she looks better in them than I look in mine. I have never seen her in them but I could have told you that. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grasshopper Posted June 6, 2020 Share Posted June 6, 2020 my buddy in Australia has a cistern. Made good coffee. A little soap goes a long way, too. Speaking of water... they must have caught me in a soft moment. I paid for a commercial water hookup to Virginia's Taco Stand. No complaints. I'm sure she took dirty lickins' these past couple months. I'll bet no PPP or any supplements from the govt beside her stimulus check. My good deed for the year. It will show as a donation to the water co-op. Might see some of my recipes at her stand... Pretty nice out. Thought I should be sweating. Took the wheelbarrow and gathered a load of rocks and sand and gravel. Gathering the rock is almost easier than stacking it in the column basket. I can get my hand/arm thru this no-climb fencing, to arrange the stones. Told you, I am thin/skinny. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was hot so I bent down to feel how cool the water was thinking it looks so clean I should drink some. But I decided not to and we kept walking, about 300' further there was a dead deer laying mostly in the stream. I will never forget that and only drink from a stream or waterway if it is an emergency. . 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grasshopper Posted June 6, 2020 Share Posted June 6, 2020 A person can drink some pretty nasty water, after you get "accustomed" to it. I wonder if the visitors from Mexico get UncleSam'sRevenge? Here's a little irony... The place I ever had problems with water was in the high Rockies of CO. Don't think I got away from a toilet for a week. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty much stopped all of the runoff from the property I doubt it would be worth it, with the heat and low humidity and only 20 inches of rain the time between rains could be a while. You would have to filter out the dust and dirt off the roof between rains it would add it to the water, it would have alot of minerals. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
