My well pump shit the bed yesterday, came home from work and no water. called the well guy that I had out last month to check on it, he said no worries it's only 12 years old you're good for at least 3 more. I said no I don't want to risk not having water in January. Ok no problem he says, will schedule it in this summer. So it's going to get done sooner than he thought, should be fun pulling a few hundred feet of stainless steel pipe with a drilling rig this weekend.
Damn sciatica kicked my ass (pun intended) it has been 2.5 months since I have had a real ride. I went for a short trail ride on Monday and that was about all I could handle and that isn't even going quickly. Feel like I am still 4-5 weeks away from full recovery. Which isn't too bad because that's when my holidays are.
Have you done any research on your vagus nerve? Or how to settle your parasympathetic nervous system down? I feel like doing the exercises to calm the nerves down has helped my siatic quite a bit.

Ouch, that's no fun. Ours ran out of water a number of years ago, coincidentally while they were putting in public water in our subdivision. Luckily I knew the general contractor I was able to get him to drop the water truck on Friday night so I could fill my tank on Sundays ( 2500 gals ) . We took a large compressor and blew the casing seemed to work, sanded in maybe. I still have the well but only use it for projects and, god forbid, fire suppression.
I still haven't figured out my septic issues yet. Need to in the next week or so.
Then I can move on to figuring out how to tear down and build a new granny hut in the back yard. Then I can work on actually doing shit I want to on the house. Clean out my garage. Get some grass in the back yard. Etc.
But for now... deal with the crap I don't want to deal with. Ug.

Army, good luck with the septic ! What a "shitty" job.
careful lads, scientific research has determined that initial dementia symptoms include delusional ideas about the potential speed of shitboxes like a westy pulling 60 mph times.
next thing you'll be calling everybody Gladys or thelma and you'll bitch endlessly about the gov't. uh oh.
That Westy pulled on of our big mountain passes as 92 mph uphill.. The though of going that fast in a westy is nightmare inducing.
you know im just riffin swan. if someone shoehorned a hot subie engine in a westy i have no doubt that it would pull hard.
but if you can envision the provinces of alberta and BC, full of mtn passes with desperately short passing lanes and opportunities for speed- if you can imagine a large collective of slacker hippy lumbersexuals draggin their f*ckin westys 20 km under the speed limit AT BEST, you might appreciate the discontent of having to drive around them. spesh with a trailer in tow.
of course, those hippies will argue about just getting there safely, whats the rush, it's everyones road.... as their westy shitbox gives carbon monoxide poisoning to the drivers behind them, while it leaks shitbox oil everywhere, and they haven't held a job that actually contributes to the taxes for those roads in 10 years and theie westy hasn't been tuned up in fifteen. thats my angle.

Yeah I have done quite a bit of that. My physio and Dr said things are probably getting faster than the nerve is telling me. It is still inflamed from the pressure that was put on it from the disc bulging out. Just have to walk the line of pushing it a bit keep the nerve/back moving enough but not so much to flair things up.
