Today was a low battery, low energy day in so many ways. Had to shut my phone off for several hours this morning. I'm off-grid with a somewhat inadequate battery bank. The clouds and thunderstorms make it difficult to keep everything charged up.
And just the sheer amount of rain pouring down today had me running on empty as well. It also kept me from running the generator. Oh well. After my phone is finally up and running I get a call in the early afternoon from my son-in-law -- the well pump wasn't running. I put on my duck feet and waddled up there to investigate. 🦆
Turns out a dead bug 🐜 in the contacts for the pressure switch had kept the well pump from kicking on. Easy fix, thankfully. I then had to slosh back home. Took an exploratory detour to visit the river. Not an actual river — that is a couple of miles away — but the rainy season river that comes rushing through the back corner of the property every few years. By the time I got home my socks were soaked, my boots full of water, and my jeans were sagging from the water weight. It was deep out there.
Really didn't get much else done today beyond reading, trying to get all my batteries charged back up, and a few brief moderate energy workouts. And, of course, there is continued rain in the forecast.
