What New.

Whats been going on in Dan's world.

On the 1st of April, I turned 51 years old or young depending on who you are talking to at the time.
So now I am more than a half century old.:)
What happed in the passed half century:

Man walked on the moon.
Jet plane flight.
Computers that fit on a desk.
World Wide Web.
Cell phones, for everyone.
Cars and truck that can travel half million miles on one engine.
These of the first thing that come to mind, I'm sure there others just as important.

On the 7th of April, I became a Grandpa, first time ever.
Alexander Paul Sutherland was born at 5:11 AM in Medford, Oregon,to Robyn and Paul Sutherland. Weight of 6 pounds and 13 oz.

On the 9th of April, we met Chris Jentzsch at the Medford, airport, at 5:30am to see Him off on his mission for two years in Spain, northern part.
To teach the gospel of Jesus Christ for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints.

On the 11th of April, I install a new well pumping system in the well on our place.
The old pump had started leaking at the main shaft seal about 2 months ago and was all most spraying water to the door of the well house by the time I replace it.
The old pump was install in the well in 1974. Only about 33 years, about 15 years more then it should of lasted.
I replace every thing, meaning, the piping that goes down into the water, as will as the pump motor and pump it self, and the piping to the holding tank.
It was a major jigsaw puzzle trying to get all the part together in one run to town.
It took about 6 hours working as quick as I could, so that you would have time to go back to town and get, what ever you may have missed, before the store closes.
After I got it all together, and turned on the pump it run beautiful till it came time to turn off and it started, turn on and off repeatedly.
This is really hard for the motor to do this, over and over, they get hot and burn up in less then and hour or so.
I had to do some out of the box thinking to figure out what was happing.
The pump, when it came out of the box, it had the pressure switch mounted to it with the read line, hook to the pump head.
Bad thing, this set up, it only reads pump pressure not the house pressure, which is were it should be reading, so, I had to pull the line and move it in front of the check valve to get house pressure reading.
It worked great after that. Only had some very small pipe leaks, will go back Monday and finish it up these leaks.
