Our well here is 280 feet deep. Granted it has filled to 40 feet from the surface.
Tho what I really like. Our property is 150' above hightide and the well isnt sucking in salt water yet.

My Mom lived near Hammond La. They had an Artesian Well, whatever that is. Spring fed maybe. Just north of there, is Kentwood Water, and Anita Springs Water. Both big Bottled water Companies. Anyway, I’ll say they have very soft water. Soap Lathers up great. Best Shower in Louisiana. Same with the Blue Beacon in Hammond. Best Wash, no streaks. Good soft water. They used to claim New Orleans had good drinking water, due to the extensive treatment it gets. Coming from the end of the Mississippi River. It has to be treated a lot. Not sure I believe that one anymore. They have so many chemicals down there. No telling what all’s in the water. Though the swamps seem to filter absorb a lot of it. Lots of Cancer down there. Same up here. We grew up in the shadow of Industry. No telling what fill dirt my neighborhood in Detroit was filled with. Used to be a swamp, around 1900, hunting Land I’ve been told.

Means it bubbles out of the ground. Naturally occurring.

My well in NY was 550' and very little hardness just a touch of iron. Funny this is all the wells in the area are hard water and around 200 '. You never know till you drill what you're gonna get.

Never been a real big Whataburger fan, but there's one not far.

We have to drive tonight, so I'm leaning toward the super carb heavy Mexican food. It will over carb us and cause us to pass out.

What’a burger is ok. Not as good as Top Notch or Dans hamburgers in Austin.

18 " piece of 1" x 6" oak. Cut V notch in one end, to encompass size of boot heel area.
Nail 6" long piece of 2" by 2" hickory stove wood crossways ;1" below notch, toward long end.
For appearances; with the device lying on floor with block on lower side, scribe a line from
2" below block on right hand side down to within 2 inches of left side end. cut out inscribed portion.
Toss to floor, stand one foot on device, jam bootheel into V notch, jerk foot out.
Swap feet and reverse action. Boots off. It is called a "Boot Jack" by ole folks.

Boots are about 7 years old.
They’re passed worn out, the lining and even the ensole came out.
Boots don’t fit good til they’re worn out..

I could use a knowledgeable Plumber around here. I’ve got a few questions about venting.

Whataburger is great for making the burger what you enjoy, but if you're only getting a basic sandwich it's a waste of money. My sandwich is the grilled chicken on Texas toast with avocado, grilled onions, and grilled jalapenos; you aren't going to find many places where you can get that.
