I went out to take the kids to school.... (by the way miss prissy just gave me a dirty look when I drove by, no finger, and guess what.... she had ahold of little stinky britches hand! I saw a sheriff's deputy in the area, so I reckon my call did some good and he had a little chit chat with her) ......and discovered I had a new pond. Four inches or so puddled out in the middle of the NW pasture. I think I was doing pretty good to first of all realize that this was not normal, since we've had no rain in two weeks, and secondly to check it out and trace the source. I tried to tell myself we had a natural spring (yeah) but of course I traced it back to a busted pipe and found Bear the boar wandering loose in the NE pasture. Basta*d. By the time I got back from town with more PVC fittings one of the mama pigs had busted her way in with him and they were going to town so I guess we'll have a new unplanned litter in a few months. I finally got smart though. This time, I bought a stainless steel flat washer and jammed it down inside one of the new couplings. The hole in the washer is only a quarter inch so the next time one of those pipes gets busted it will trickle out in a quarter inch stream instead of a three quarter inch gush. At least that will save wear and tear on the well pump. Got Bear back in with feed, got mama out the same way, got the repairs done, I'm sweaty and stinky and filthy and I ain't doin' nuthin' else for at least two hours.
