She logged on yesterday...but didn't post.

Maybe she's lurking with Dave.

I have to relinquish the keyboard now.

BBL.

Wooooo awake!  For no good reason, too.

Morning Teddy.

At 05:20 this morning I dreamed that my alarm clock was making the waking noise.  Tricked me into waking up to turn it off....

It was almost worth waking to a faking, just to realise that its Saturday... and the alarm clock can go make the beast with two backs itself 

[teddy037.3]

Howdy ung

That's an evil dream... stupid alarm clocks.

I guess the upside to being awake is that I'm not having any bad dreams

[ungeheuer]

Cant blame the alarm clock.  It was innocently minding its own business, happy to let me sleep.

My mind obviously had other ideas 

WTF time is it on your side of the Date Line??  Must be disgustingly early?

[teddy037.3]

It is 2:40 in the am here

Eeeuk, that's a bugger  .

Makes my 05:20 false alarm seem luxurious.

Only +3 hours difference between you and me (-24).

[teddy037.3]

Yeah, but it happens often enough I just resign myself to it... I can sleep plent when I'm dead, I suppose.

Only 3? I did not know that.  Learnings!

[ungeheuer]

Almost midnight here...  must be approaching 03:00 in Teddyville

[teddy037.3]

Yepper... are you usually up that late?

I hear insomnia can make one... crazy...

I really needed a project for today.  

Water decided to stop flowing. Off to the hardware store to procure a new pressure switch for the well tank. At least it isn't the pump 300' in the ground. That would truly suck.

Ugh, that blows... later nater

It's Saturday and I'm an evening person.... midnight isn't so late for me.

During the work week I'm rarely in bed before midnight....  the alarm wakes me at 05:30.

Sleep is overrated  

Except on the weekend.

I really don't understand your Northern Hemisphere waterworks.  The water comes from a 300' deep bore...  Pumps up to an above ground storage tank?  Where's the pressure switch come into it??

[edit]  Water level in tank drops....  float valve opens... pressure in line drops... pump runs.... water flows...  Ok    I think I got it now....

My sleeps have been so wonky recently... doc changes meds and my patterns got all mixed up. At least I'm not sleeping all day long.

Close.  No water storage tank, it's a pressure tank so the pump doesn't short-cycle.  Basically a tank full of air with the pressure switch attached. When the air pressure gets below a set point the switch turns on water pump until the air pressure reaches the high set-point.
