RE: Daily Dose of Sultnpapper 06/05/18> Can I get a “do over” please…?
I don't have any idea what your personal Monday ratio is, but I would bet a fur piece that today will be better, even if it is second Monday.
Power outages are rare in this little corner of heaven, mostly because all the service lines are underground. No frost means no problems for electrical cables in the ground.
All the supply lines are above ground, however and when we do get an outage it is usually significant. Last one I remember was 4 days. It was so bad that I had to grind my coffee beans in a pillow case with a rolling pin :) Water started getting scarce late in the third day because the water company couldn't pump the supply tanks for the area. As the level went down in the tanks so did the water pressure....
Good luck with second Monday. I'd say it has a chance to be a pretty good day, and glad you had a do over in your bag....
That was pretty creative on your part for grinding the coffee beans, kudos.
Most people do not realize that the water systems are gravity pressurized system, even though gravity doesn't exist in my mind, it is just physics. For every foot of height of the water column it represents .433 pounds of pressure, as the height decreases so does the pressure, so without the power for the pumps to keep them filled to the top there will surely be a loss in pressure.
My Monday, today, is starting great. I look forward to what the rest of it brings.
