It's hot out here.
Very, very hot and very, very dry.
The last estimate i saw was around 107.
Fun climate for field work.
We come home and finish processing the blood. Time to shower and relax.
C goes first, i heat up some dinner. I try to add a little water to the bowl before nuking it but no water comes out of the tap. Great. C comes down from her shower and says it stopped on her mid shower.
I love plumbing.
This old place was a weird set up, the water well is about 50m away and the water is pumped into the house via a black temporary pipe on the ground. So on days like today the cold water is too hot to use, seriously scalding.
So i go out and follow the pipe and sure enough there's a connector that's blown.
So i spend the next hour grunting and tugging and trying to use a swiss army knife screwdriver (it's all i had). In the end it still leaks a little so we leave the water off and I just deal with no shower, despite being caked with mud and the devilish cheat grass.
A wet wash cloth is your friend and savior.
