my brother did some work at dad's yesterday. he raised his well pump 14", as it is sucking in a lot of mud. He went to change the house water filter, and discovered no filter in it. Dad has for years been washing out and reusing filters, which is why his water is aweful. hopefully raising the pump some will help. THis is a dug well (cistern) feed from the barn roof. In the past, when the well would go dry, dad would climb down the well with a ladder and clean the bottom out, this hasn't been done in 40 years probably. There is another dug well near the barn, and if the well went dry we would pump over from that well, or pump water, or use the water tank in this trailer to haul water from the spring to the well.
For drinking water, we used a hand pump well in front of the house. Many years ago I put a submersible pump in that well and piped it to the kitchen sink, cold side only. It has a separate filter, and my brother couldn't get the bypass to work in order to change that filter (if it has one). I decided to add this post to my "life on the farm" thread, haven't added anything there for awhile.

Good Morning
It’s 32° headed to 60 today. It’s sunny now, will be raining by the time the temperature peaks.
Yesterday had a batch of small chores interrupting the speaker work, but still managed some progress. I got a new 1/2” shank double spiral solid carbide flush trim bit that works great. Much faster than the 1/4” shank straight fluted brazed carbide bit I was using, and it does a great job.
Today will be back to the shop, have a doctor’s appointment late morning, that will slow progress a bit, but not bring it to a standstill.
Just got back from breakfast with the professor, and realized I didn’t post this.

62°F and 1.94 inches rain. Rained all night or at least the 4 times I got up. Geez
Looks like a wet, inside day. Definitely a no mow day.
Prayers for all
Be safe
Have a great day

I have no idea why it changed. Have not made any changes to it. Will check to see if it can be changed back.

Good Afternoon Guys ,
Nice work !
Have a Great Day !
Ron, I’m betting there are a lot of people reading your post that wish they could retire at 62 ! For me back in 2008, the economy fell through the floor ! I had 20 years at PB, so technically I was able to retire ! Also both our sons were out of college so I decided to work part time outside ! I had the CDL through the FD, so just needed to get endorsements! Driving trucks had nothing to do with the trade I spent my life doing, but I really liked working by myself !
PopG, yes I would think that the spiral flush cut carbide would be the ticket for trimming plywood ! The glued laminations would kill a HS bit quickly !
Nice work !
Have a Great Day !

My first retirement was through coming to a mutual agreement with my company that my services were no longer going to be offered.
- 26 years of service and they moved in a different direction.
My second retirement was through poor marketing/salesmanship and contract stipulations that I could no honor.
- as a sole proprietor I could not meet the nonnegotiable requirements.
My third retirement will come because I need it to happen on my terms.
- barring physical/spiritual/emotional/financial or mental breakdowns of course.

My original plan was to retire at 55. Did not happen because I had to many hobbies. Needed to pay off the bills they created before retiring.

I can, but I participate on her sites, and will just get blocked back, although I give way more. anyways, I asked, and she responded she got the pics from a different site, just coincidence that it showed up a few hours after I posted it......
It's possible she just didn't make the connection to what the picture was until I posted it, then she put 2 and 2 together. As often as I've corrected things on her site, I should be an admin.
I spent the day going thru a lot of my posts and watermarking all the pics I have posted. It won't happen again.
I've had a couple people on the site claim that other people had taken their pics from FB and submitted them on my site as their own. I've had to delete a few when they wouldn't attempt to verify the pics were theirs. Those people do get banned from the site.
