Water Woes

A few weeks ago I received a letter from the county saying our water system for the mobile spaces was in violation.

I wondered what the problem could possibly be and called right away.

The problem was, no samples had been taken since the system was put it forty years ago.

I talked to the people at the county who were very nice and explained to me that it was a very simple process but that I may want to have someone show me how to do it the first time.

I called up the local water guy who knows the property and has done all the maintenance on the well and septic for years, and before he did the work, his father did all the work and was the one to originally put the lines in place.

The first thing I noticed when he arrived and stepped out of his truck was that he was handicapped.

I felt badly as he made his way towards the pump house in the cold and rain struggling to not fall over and wondered to myself why he didn't use some sort of assistance like a cane or walking stick.

It wasn't until he got to within twenty feet of me that I realized that he wasn't handicapped.

He was drunk.

Very Drunk.

As in drunk as an f'ing skunk.

He smelled about as bad as a skunk too.

Great.

Oh well, he did what he needed to do and showed me how to take care of things and get samples and as far as drunks go, he was one of the nicer ones I've met.

Part Two:

There hasn't been any outdoor water from the pond to the mobile spaces for the last few months because when it was so cold last winter #6 disconnected the pump wires so that nobody would go and flip the switch to turn the pump back on and burn it up when the lines were frozen.

Let me re-phrase "nobody" to Jackass know it all, further referred to as just Jackass.

~Jackass has lived in the mobile spaces for many years and has appointed himself king of all things~

The day 6 left for Iraq, Jackass headed straight to the barn to reconnect the pump.

Not having any idea how to reconnect the wires, he just started connecting them willy nilly and only stopped when sparks flew and and smoke billowed.

So, do you know what that means?

NO outside water from the pond.

Do you know what else that means?

Jackass will not be able to wash his cars, his house, his driveway, his dump truck, etc...

Do you know what ELSE that means?

I'll tell you what else that means...

It means that f'ing Jackass has been using binoculars for the last month to look and see if I'm home or not before he washes his cars, his house, his driveway and his dump tuck with well water!

Jackass figured he was really cutting a fat hog and pulling one over on me.

He decided he was so smart he would brag about how smart he was to his neighbor.

I decided he's pretty stupid if he thought the neighbor wouldn't rat on him

Busted.

Now I just need to figure out my next move so I can catch him in the act without revealing my source.
