Well Friday was a very busy afternoon that included a trip to the VA after lunch and then another trip to the hardware store which gave me enough courage to attempt to set the new well pump and get it working. I piddled for most of the morning getting in a bike ride. Not much to write about except the temps started warming up by the afternoon and the a/c is back on after a couple days of near perfect weather. I did get in some reading through out the morning and while waiting in between services at the VA.
The VA set me up for a hearing test next week and drew blood so if and when they help me out with Eliquis they will have my newest info on record. I went to the records section and authorized the VA to pull my records from my primary care doctor with Bay Care. Everyone was very helpful and I saw my new primary VA doctor. All the vitals looked good with her as well.
It was a chore setting the new pump but I was able to get water finally out of the ground to water the gardens. The Gould pump is the best American made with a cast iron body whereas the old pump made in Mexico had a hard plastic body. The owner of Ace was very helpful in setting the new pump and helping me engineer the set up which required some modifications of the PVC piping where the old piping was galvanized. It primed on the first attempt and the pump runs very quietly and really pulls the water out of the ground. I'm so glad I got it working after several days of using city water.
We watched the news and it's awful what the Russians are doing to the civilians in the Ukraine. Someone does need to take out Putin as he is a monster like Hitler, Stalin and Lenin. We switched channels and saw where the Lightning was playing a tough team from Detroit after losing last night to the Penguins. I headed in the bedroom to watch the rest of the game and they won 3-1. It wasn't long I had my shower and ready for some horizontal lab around 10'ish, LATER
