Bye!
|
||
|
|
Extreme Will Pump Hacking!
|
||
|
|
Just don't break anything.
|
||
|
|
Get ready for another exciting edition of this old hack.
|
||
|
|
Well, I'm back at it again.
|
||
|
|
Fucking around with that old well house of mine.
|
||
|
|
And I'm really super geeking at tonight.
|
||
|
|
I'm like last year when I went to work on the well.
|
||
|
|
It was hot as hell tonight, it's rather chilly.
|
||
|
|
And it's probably a good 50 degrees cooler than it was when I worked on it in the middle of summer.
|
||
|
|
But needless to say, this is a good time to go back over and touch on some of the points that I might not have exactly been quite clear about originally.
|
||
|
|
Talk about a couple other things.
|
||
|
|
Just getting my stuff set up here.
|
||
|
|
Tools.
|
||
|
|
Beer.
|
||
|
|
Everything I'm going to need.
|
||
|
|
Got my headlamp on.
|
||
|
|
Cause I'll talk about the headlamps first.
|
||
|
|
Now this is the cheapest and probably my opinion the worst type of headlamp you could have because it's first of all it's not an LED headlamp.
|
||
|
|
It's a single incandescent bulb.
|
||
|
|
So it's bulkier.
|
||
|
|
It sits kind of far out.
|
||
|
|
So it wobbles a whole lot.
|
||
|
|
Now with the newer a little bit more expensive LED lights.
|
||
|
|
They're brighter and they don't take as big of batteries and of course they last a whole lot longer than the incandescent bulbs.
|
||
|
|
And the ones they sell at Walmart are okay but I had this one really nice headlamp one time.
|
||
|
|
I found it in the woods camping.
|
||
|
|
And it was made by black diamond.
|
||
|
|
The thing that was nice about it and I've never seen any of the regular retail stores carry this particular model.
|
||
|
|
The thing about it that made it nice was the battery pack was in the back of the headband.
|
||
|
|
Cause the headlamp you know it's an elastic band and it was a light on the front.
|
||
|
|
Well the black diamond unit the batteries were in the back.
|
||
|
|
So the weight was evenly distributed and the light panel was really slender and you could fold it down and you could probably conceal it under like a toboggan hat.
|
||
|
|
You're like a thick winter hat.
|
||
|
|
It was slim enough to wear. You could probably hide it.
|
||
|
|
It was very comfortable and you didn't ever have to worry about breaking your head and losing the position of the light.
|
||
|
|
Somebody found it from me in Northern California.
|
||
|
|
So right now I'm doing as I'm trying to find some thread tape.
|
||
|
|
And I didn't ask my wife to pick any up which she would store.
|
||
|
|
It's kind of funny what happened the other day the power in the kid's room just went out just a kid's room.
|
||
|
|
Obviously I checked the breakers and that wasn't the problem.
|
||
|
|
There's just no power.
|
||
|
|
Well yesterday after the power being off for a couple of days and just mysteriously came back on.
|
||
|
|
Or like okay everything is good.
|
||
|
|
Well today while I was at work the power went out again and this time the power through the well went out.
|
||
|
|
Well my life came out here to just to mess with the well pump switch which I touched on in a previous episode.
|
||
|
|
Episode five.
|
||
|
|
And if you tap it with a stick and after it's been turned off it'll cause it to come back on.
|
||
|
|
And I've had some couple of requests to be more clear about the nature of the well pump pressure switch.
|
||
|
|
So I'm going to go into that too.
