Yesterday I spend all fricken day cleaning our ~3000Gal fish pond. It was way overdue. As a separate issue, we lost 4 fish over last 5 days; we have not had a dead fish in the last 2 years prior to that. Wife thinks that someone threw rat poison into the pond :-(
In the middle of pond draining/cleaning I noticed that we had low water pressure out of our well. Turns out the main 1" water gate valve failed and was letting little water. OK to run 1 sink/shower at a time, but not enough pressure/flow for a pressure washer and couple water hoses running at same time. So had to stop what I was doing and run to HD to get parts and get that replaced. Because of the delays, we lost several fish due to stress. Wife was upset which made me upset. She had few of the larger fish we lost named and loves to sit by the pond and feed the fish each day.
It took me from 8AM to almost 10PM to get it all done. All physical, low to ground, back breaking work. Must have pulled 300-400LBS worth of sand. I fricken hate NM with it's desert enviroment and sand blowing everywhere. I'm tired, my back hurts. I guess I'm too old for this shit.
