    Got some new cleaners to stick in the truck tomorrow. They actually brought me the correct one for the first time ever.....I did send them the part number. I have donnelson cans and they always send the vortex ones.

    They throwed enough at me I just couldn't turn it down so I gots loads for Wednesday and Thursday.

    Been a rough weekend. We lost two friends and one was the best man at my wedding. His was from plain stupidity so I was just mostly disgusted by it but I think it's affecting more than I realized.

    I think some time in the truck will do me good....

    We never had a shower in the house. Only a bath tub. We went out to the milk house to take a shower. Hung the hose over the hook on the ceiling.

    We had a shallow well and a cistern. Had water delivered. There was another shallow well in the barn lot that we used a hand pump to water the livestock.

    Later we put a electric pump in the barn lot and piped it to the well pit at the house. I could flip the lid on the the pump pit and switch wells in the dark. Then run to whatever building the pump was wired from....one was is the middle of the hog lot....and get them shut off or turned on so we didn't burn up a pump.

    In the summer I would pump both wells dry during the day into the cistern.

    My parents never had rural water at the house till after I was married.

    Question. What about a reefer trailer? Maybe even deductible? Mobile if you move.

    Build a butcher shop inside.

    I've definitely been thinking of that route. I'm just waiting on the bank to get their head out of their butt so I can move forward. Trying to finish my refi on the house and put up my new building. Also trying to buy some more land from my neighbor. If I can get the land, it will determine where my building goes. Problem is, the surveyor can't get there until spring. So, prolly no building this year. I will definitely keep your suggestion in mind though.....because it's a good one.

    My buddy brought that up aswell. He said stick it under the lean to in the new shop. Just wondering how those things are on maintenance. I know absolutely nothing about refers. The Last thing I need is my reefer to go out while I'm out and spoil all my meat. Where I live, I don't know where I would get parts or who to call.
