    Well that was disappointing.

    Paid for an emergency plumbing call and told the lady to have him bring out a whole new all in one pump (gave her the brand and HP so she could cross reference what fittings he might need). He showed up without a phone call as to when and if he was coming :confused: . He was in a bad mood, almost hostile demeanor, said he'd go by a retail store in the morning and hope they had a pump in stock though he doubted it. No pump, no fittings, no nothing. What kind of emergency call person does not have fittings and gaskets etc. in the truck? Totally dismissed our request for a commercial pump with auto safety shut off, he either hates his job, hates his life, hates himself or whatever, no thank you. $160 fee for an emergency call and he's here 10 minutes, spreads bad mood juju in my home and leaves with no answer? It wasn't even 5 pm yet. WWW called that place back and said we will not need him back in the morning and will pay for the trip charge and his 10 minutes he spent here, we'll see how that turns out...

    Found another company, this one has equipment on hand (we are upgrading to a Gould on demand pump with auto safety shut off) and they will be here tomorrow , hooray!! :banana: Tired of all the fooling around with the temperamental pumps that fit our fittings, this will be great! :dancer: Love you MasterCard <3

    I was told there is a Dr. asking for me to play santa and should expect a call from him soon. :startled:

    We'll see what the details are on that one.

    He sounds like a real character!
    "“I’m not worried about getting older,” he said. “I’m already older.”
    “I don’t like anything about it,” he said. “I don’t like it all. I’m getting tired of it, but I have to do something.”

    At the tail end of a life of service split in two, Nick’s Firewood isn’t burning out anytime soon.

    “I’m going to do it as long as I’m able,” he said.

    They just had a story on the other night about a lad who is 93 and still running a christmas tree farm operation and has been for the last 46 years. The lad didn't look to be much more than 70............................Amazing.

    You and WWW are nice folks. I would've told yesterday's plumber business "don't bother sending any bills" after the way he acted and treated the service call.

    I've driven by that place! He parks his truck with the billboard by the highway when not in use. I had no idea he was that old, he and his wife are cuties!
