Too Much Liquid Sunshine!

[CarlD]

Wow! Water was 86 today and it didn't even sprinkle. We've had rain, rain, and more rain for months--it has been the worst Spring I remember in a long time--since the equally weird "Big Eddy" of ...2002(?).

Be careful what you wish for Jan! BTW, if you have solar panels you should run them all night to cool the pool--from dusk until the sun hits them. They work just as well in reverse, you know.

I don't have solar panels (in Lousiana?? who needs them??? ) but I am running the pump at night to help cool it as much as I can.

Water went out last night and was still off until noonish today, and is only on now with a low pressure, muddy stream with lots of air spitting in the lines. We're told that the wells that supply my community's water system are about empty due to the long weeks without rain and the massive amount of gas well drilling that's going on around us, and that the water supply is in real jeopardy if we don't get some rain soon. Fortunately the pasture across the street where my horses are is supplied by a well, and we have a water cooler in the house with a pretty well stocked water bottle supply, but don't know exactly how I'm gonna keep my pool level up so the pump can keep running--I'm losing 1-2 inches daily to evaporation.
