Re: Weather
said by robbin  :said by Kiwi :here we go again, RAIN,rain,rain... I wish it would rain here in central Texas -- my well just went dry! Careful what ya wish for 
Take it down another 25', don't worry though the water table is rising so friggin high up here, there is no telling how much water is under the desert in TX, creeping your way, down there. Have no idea after several months, why TX would be dry...It must be a friggin crime, that's not on the books yet! 
Must have something to do with LONGHORNS, drinking everything dry, send some up North! |

| rain water in the midwest drains into the mississippi. Texas would miss all that rain.
What's scary is after having record rains last year that the water table would be in such a disarray only a year later.

| Actually the problem seems to be with the growth. My well almost went dry in the mid 90s and again about 2001. But it never did. It did go dry in 2006 from about July 4 to Christmas. Now it went dry again about the first of July. I am migrating to a rainwater system but am not there yet.
My well was drilled about 1980 -- it's a good well, but there is just too much demand on the Trinity Aquifer. |

Well two weeks off, first in stretch in four years. Friend had offered a cabin 3 months ago, the weather looks GREAT. But there was an Oops, went in to get directions at 1130 in LR this morning "I can't let you have the cabin" Various reasons that equated to changing his mind, when we where headed out Wednesday morning, no less.
Went to NLR, clear up a couple of unrelated things, bumped into somebody I knew, this was around Noon and told him what had happened. "No, problem, you can have my house in Fairfield Bay, drive me up so I can pick up my car and you can stay the week" Talk about a lucky break! He has a place 1/2 mile away, so picking him up is a breeze.
The World is different to the one I grew up in, got an orphan out this morning who had taken 4 months to get a job, one less headache and was going to stay a month. On the proviso housekeeping would be done in lieu of rent -Never happened.
Now, hopefully an earned break and good weather. |
