Honoring Success

Water Pumps and Accumulator

Sunday 14 July 2019

Made it through last night's gauntlet of devil's brew unscathed, so a celebration is called for. Is it appropriate to do that with massive amounts of alcohol? May give it some thought tonight over a cocktail.

Although off to an inauspicious start, have ambitious plans today for working on one or more projects. If the enthusiasm carries over from strategy to actual performance, a celebration with massive amounts of alcohol could be called for... haven't we plumbed the shallows of this idea and come up with a concept? May have to go back and check, see what it is.

Meantime with discernment unfettered by anything more than normal idiocy will endeavor to persevere.

- Later

And indeed it happened. Removed for disposal deceased water pump (which was purchased not long ago in Richard's Bay), re-wired and re-installed old pump that still works, turfed another old pump that doesn't and re-plumbed (different meaning - don't you love English?) fresh water system to add an accumulator (which has been floating around bilge for some considerable time since purchase due apprehension that it might be beneficial) to smooth flow as backup pump is not designed for measured output and those that are don't do an especially impressive job. This stunning display of enterprise will have to be celebrated with massive.. amounts... hey, haven't we been over this territory already? Don't know, but it's happy hour so expect to attain clarity in short order.
