Down to my last few gallons of drink'n water this morn'n. To some, this may not seem important, but when ya make coffee out of bar ditch water, something got to be done right away. Those of ya that ain't never been to Sinton, Texas, let me tell ya bout the city water system. It sucks. They get their water out of a well somewheres up the road a piece and by the time it gets to town, it's full of rust, bugs & critters, big ol' chunks of mud, grass clipp'ns.....and it tastes like all the above. The only worster water I ever tasted was in Chesapeake, Ohio. That shit was brown an' green (iron and algae), smell like rotton aggs....undrinkable.....nasty stuff.
So here what I got to do....Walmart. Not to buy water, but to buy a couple more 7 gallon water jugs. Since I'm out of meds again, I rekon I could pick some up along with my water jugs. Then haul water from the Corpus Christi water system back to "da house" and pump it into my fresh water tank. Sounds simple huh? Well it ain't. It's a pain in the ass. Two trips (28 gallons) is just enough water to last right bout 4 or 5 days.....if'n I decide to take a shower or two. What ain't likely.
Speak'n of water, I used to have a water filter on "da house" what would take all kind of stuff out the water. Make it taste good too. Was a wonderful water filter. But it broke a few years back an' I ain't never replaced it. I bought it in Rockport, so maybe a trip to Rockport in on the agenda for the day. Maybe they still handle the same brand. Yeah....that exactly what I gonna do. By chance I may hook up with the OFM Barney and have a nice lunch. I'm buy'n ya know. "Take your fish pole Billy Bob".
Does this look like a fox to you????
Ok...got things to do......laters.
Yup, fox. Good to see you back bloggin'.

Ok. Now that we can assume this is a fox and not a ringtail cat, what kind of fox is it???
DeleteBrer Fox...
DeleteDoes your filter do the city water inlet only or also what that is coming out of the RV's tank?
ReplyDeleteDon't do neither Dizzy. It's up under the sink with it's own little faucet for filtered water. I tried the inlet water filters and they ain't worth a flip as far as I'm concerned. Maybe filter out a few bug bodies, but the legs and feet go on through.
DeleteThanks for dropping by BB. We will see how things go to decide when to do some ball swacking next week.
ReplyDeleteThanks Barney. Have a safe trip.
DeleteWell I just got back from the River and was sure glad to see you posting again. I was starting to think that you had gone toes up on us. I have that same water filter that you have and will not live without it. At Deer camp this year we filled with water at a camphost site that was empty and man was that some sknuky water, but the filter cleaned it up real good.
ReplyDeleteWhen I got back from the river we had a power outage that scrambled the brains of my modem so I was off line for several days, finally had to call the IT line at AT&T and they walked me through a reboot.
Always good to hear from you River. I wish to hell I could remember the brand of this filter, but it did a wonderful job when it was work'n. Bet ya a buck I can find it on the internet.
DeleteLooks like a silver fox to me,,,i saw one over on the other side of town, yesterday, running toward a creek. It was a red one.
ReplyDeleteBB, It might be a Everpure filter, part #9592-06. Camping World has them for $35.88. They have a picture on their website under water filters. That is what I have on my 2000 Winnebago Chieftain.
