    GGGUUUUAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!! I HATE PLUMBING!!!!!!!!

    The other day I noticed my well pump was running every minute or so even though no water was being used. Being on a slab, I was very concerned about a leak somewhere. I looked around at every source as best I could and found no evidence of a leak. I had to work a couple 12 hour days in a row so I wasn't able to check into it any further. Tonight was the night to work on it. As near as I can tell, there must be a check valve at the pump that has failed allowing the pressure to leak back to the well. I could not locate a check valve anywhere else. Instead of pulling the pump, I just installed an additional check valve next to the pressure switch. That seems to have corrected the problem. Now we just have to deal with the excess sediment in the system for a while because I depressurized the system. I'm sure there are plumbers that could tell me all the things I did wrong or should have done but at this point I really don't care because everything seems to be working. Did I mention I HATE PLUMBING???!!!

    Plumbing, boats, they all have to do with water so by nature they suck.

    glad you got it going. That's sounds like what I would do.

    Not a fan of skinny jeans. I should be ok. The model 60 fits on most of my jeans.
    Sweet. I sold my last 7 round mag, but there's still a lip on the grip/magwell where you can see how it sits when fully inserted.
