Since I was 18 I have always dyed my hair to match my horse. Black, Blood bay, (auburn), Sorrel (light golden red), Chestnut (brown red), Palomino, (blonde, that was high maintenance). Now have a Brown Bay my natural color. Next I'll get a Grey that will eventually turn white, no dye needed.

When I was a very small child and looked at the states on a colored map, each state was a different color. The first time my Mom told me we were going to Arkansas, I was excited to see a different colored state. When we crossed the state line, I was very disappointed as it was the same color as Tennessee. Green.

I took the kids to Yellowstone in 1994. Clear across WA, ID, into western WYO. Up into Yellowstone and then into western Montana. Crossed the ID panhandle. When we crossed the Priest River there is a sign saying welcome to WA. The youngest one let out a big sigh and said "it is great to be back in the land of the free."

Winter must have made me soft. I was out shoveling out the dirt in my concrete ditch, and got a blister on the palm of my hand.

If I was smart I would hire some teenager to dig out my ditch.

We were filling out our hunting licenses recently and my wife came to the hair color part, and I mistakenly said Blue Heeler is your color. The lady at the counter says "your hair is beautiful honey; don't worry he doesn't have any". Roy and I slept outside that night.

Pam is pretty lucky, she doesn't do anything with her hair just lets it be her natural grey colour and being fair it has gone snow white which looks very much like a blonde. I even see her get a few looks from the fellas until they get a bit closer.

I just got in from corrugating my field and have no water. Why do things like this always happen on a weekend. I checked the pressure tank and it had no pressure, so I got out the air hose and pressured it up, but that does not seem to be this issue. I think it was last year I replaced the pressure switch. I'm not sure if I should try replacing the pressure switch.

turn off the power and flip it manually or use a insulated screw driver and flip it. might just be stuck or might need replaced.

The pressure gage under the pressure switch has not pressure at all.

is it hot (both legs) going to the pressure switch?

Look for a crack in the pipes or slow leak first. But may need a new solenoid.

I didn't see any. I think the pump went out.

For me it is always either a blocked orifice going to the pressure switch or the motor needs a new capacitor. I always keep a spare on hand.

The water has been surging for awhile. I tried to find the breaker for the pump which I think should be 240 volts, but have not found a breaker marked for the pump. Thought maybe it could have tripped. Tomorrow I will get my voltage meter out and check if I have voltage. Dad had a new pump put in about twenty years ago. At least I don't have livestock in the corral. The only place I have running water is in the stock tank in the water gap. I hope the cows don't mind sharing; went at got a couple five gallon buckets with water to flush the toilet.

Start at the breaker, then the pump control and capacitor. I usually find the capacitor smoked and sometimes the blue module next to it as well. Last time the capacitor was bad, but no smoke and didn't even stink like an electrical fire. Had a spare and was back up and running in 10 minutes.

Fire ants tend to mound around the pressure switch here. They either get dirt or ant bodies in the contact points. If not that, the switch gets a build up that prevents connection. I carry ant killer and an emory board to manage either situation... with the power off of course.

Sounds like you've ruled out pressure switch.

It takes 3000 cows to supply the NFL with enough leather for a year's supply of football's.
