why do you hate me?


i don't know what unseen force is out to get me, but i have to ask whomever or whatever has a beef with little ole me "why do you hate me?"
after spending the entire day battling flooding, broken pumps, rain ... then sleet ... then snow i finally could rest knowing i'd fixed the pumps and they were keeping up with all the water (see previous post). THEN today i come home from work to this scene. the underground line running from the new pump to the ditch had ruptured and water was gushing to the surface ... the water flooded and eventually draining back to the yard tile, back to the pit and then out the broken line again onto the yard then back the the drain tile - recycling the water instead of pumping it out - so i'll ask again ... why do you hate me?

sorry mr. b.

looks like you're having rough times. if i lived a few hours closer i'd come up there and help you try to fix it.

on the bright side, if it freezes you can play hockey in your yard, eh?

sorry dude. i hope you get dried out soon.

brYan said...

way to be positive jesse - it has frozen, so maybe i can turn something bad into something good ... like a game of hockey!

Hey, if it floods and then gets really cold, you wont have to ask your neighbor if you can use his pond for hockey!

Man oh man! Sorry to hear and see what you're going through. And I won't leave you a third hockey comment;), but I hope the sun comes to warm away the snow so you can get that fixed...for good!
