big william's world

It was warm and sunny on Saturday and Sunday but wet wet wet on Monday. Meanwhile, not far away in Windsor Colorado there were tornados which vacuumed up the town and all its buildings.

I cooked outdoors, under cover, and ate indoors. I spent the afternoon dismantling the pool pump to fix a leak. I failed and the "parts are on order" amazing that man has had rotary electric pumps for more than a century and yet the idea of keeping water from leaking along a rotating shaft is as big a problem as it ever was. This one has a pair of ceramic washers spring-loaded against each other and they just wear out.

All ready for a few  nights in the windy city (Chicago) now
