Sorry Ron doesn't qualify he's not old enough. You have to be at least 90.

A quick update. The weather is hot and I have been moving slowly but have the fan on and going to start on the tail.

I have made some progress and completed the rebuild and had it set on the tower. I still need to get the sucker rod to come down. I would like to get a horse trough and have it look like it is pumping

We have installed plastic 55 gal drums underground with a wooden deck over them to pump water out of, and into a tank above ground with a return pipe high on the side of the tank and a screen to keep debris and fish from going back to the underground drum.
Makes a nice display.
