As the poet, Robert Burns, wrote in his poem "Ode To A Mousie," gang oft agley. That was today. If it could go wrong or break at work, it did. So it was nice to get out today and get home. Only ... plans have continued to "gang oft agley," because it's a tad too cool to get outside for things and get anything done, so it's another day to stay inside and get things done here. Still a few dishes to do, which can get done now. More knitting and writing can get done, I can put a bunch of stuff on my Amazon wishlist, lol.
And of course, there's paring down that horrendously huge wishlist, lol. There's sooo many goodies I'd love to have, and I really want to get it pared down so I can actually start putting orders together. Plus there's getting the wellhead set up to try to pull some water out of it. I'm still not sure if that's going to work or not with the bailer bucket, because from what I understand, when the well was drilled, the drilling company went deeper than had originally been intended. So the folks who paid for the well to be drilled (grandparents of our landlady) stopped payment on the check, and the drilling company came out and dumped several bags of quick-crete down the well. Mind, when we dropped a few good-sized rocks down the thing last summer to see how much water was in there, they made some really good BLOOPs in the water when they hit. Turned out the water table is 125 feet down, so I really need to find out how much water I can get out of the thing. If I can get a steady draw out of that wellhead, I'm in happy times for a garden, lol.
Okay, granted, I'd have to draw it up a gallon or so at a time out of that well, and it would be hard work, but it'd be a lot easier than having to fill jugs and haul them home every day at a rate of 10 or 20 gallons just to make sure we have plenty of water for us as well as for a garden. Yikes, but that is a LOT of water to haul home, and a lot of time spent filling jugs, lol. No thanks, I'll come home and pull it out of the well, it's less troublesome! But I know you want to know about books, so I'll get busy on those. Hugs till tomorrow, gang. I still have dishes to get done, thankfully, there aren't too many!
