How'd it go today?

Normal Monday stuff here. Look at the work order and think this seems like a nice job for the day. Wrong, we finished by lunch. Then we went and did a bit of structure clearance work. House isn’t there yet but we were told a height. Then a bit of maintenance and home. Took the boy to karate and then I finished grading around my pool once I got home. Now finished eating and getting ready to shower. Busy day but productive
 
Where does your drinking water come from?
Water comes from the Colorado by a large 60 mile long canal. Google up the Yuma siphon. Tap water tastes like dirt and chlorine. We RO it. Many people and places have a water truck that brings them spring or treated water once a month for drinking. We have a big SS tank upstairs at work.

If you live outside of town, you don’t get treated water, it’s straight from a canal, and must buy drinking water

I am again flummoxed by the fact that many people choose to live in a place like that; a place that basically has no potable water.
 
Is RO same as distilled water?

Distilled is condensed steam.

RO is reverse osmosis.

I know you’re supposed to use distilled in your cooling system to avoid getting minerals in it so the water is probably pretty similar in the end. It’s possible that drinking entirely mineral free water could strip minerals out of you.
 
One LMFH (lawn mower from hell) has been conquered. Initially a gunked up fuel bowl and a bad o-ring. Then it was killing the battery. I found a broken wire inside a six pin connector. Then it would only start/run on ether. Tank got drained, fresh alcohol free gas was added. Carb cleaned again. Anti-backfire solenoid had no juice. Found a fuse had been moved to an empty slot. Mowing achieved.
