Well Work

Last year the pipes around the Hanger Well were covered with tarps and included a heater to avoid freezing.

This last week, my son and I worked move the pipes underground. The task was bigger then necessary as we took the opportunity to replace old aluminium wire with copper wire for power to the Well. The new power will also power the Shop's Three-Phase Rotary Converter, which will be located there for noise abatement.

The Pressure Switch for the well will be located in the Shop, a relay will be at the well area to drive the pump starter circuit.

Likewise, the on/off control for the Rotary Converter will be in the Shop, while a relay and the Starter Circuit will be at the Well area.

Tags 2003 - 2011 RIP

My Dog Tags passed away today.

Tags was my first of my current two dogs, she was taken by my Xwife when we divorced. Tags loved to play fetch and chase balls or Rocks, everything was a fetch game for her. Tags taught Tess (my second/current dog) how to be a real dog when Tess was still a pup. Tess always knew that Tags was the Teacher and let Tags take the lead on all chases.

Tags will be buried here at the HangerShop.

It is funny how somethings hurt so much more then others, maybe even more important things.

Tags will be missed! RIP
