Stones?, YouTube, mud

Yesterday afternoon the pain in my lower left back had worsened and started to wrap around my side a bit.  Most of the time it was just a dull ache but if I moved the wrong way I would get intense stabbing pain.  I started to wonder if I had a kidney stone thing going on.  Years back I had what they thought was a small one.  I told Ali about it and she thought maybe I should head for the doctors but I told her I would let it ride.  Last night I drank a lot of water and went to bed early.  I woke up today with less pain and feeling better.  Hopefully I can avoid a doctor visit. 

If you haven’t checked out youtube.com yet, you need to.  They have and endless supply of short videos spanning any and all categories you can think of.  I contributed my 2 cents by uploading some of my volleyball videos. It sucks that they have to be compressed to make them suitable for web viewing, it really hammers the video quality.  I may try to resample them at a higher rate since my youtube videos can be up to 100 meg big.

This morning I woke up to no water in the house.  Our well pump is flaky, sometimes it will kick out if it is used too much.  Well evidently it did just that last night while the water cleaner was going through it’s recharge cycle.  So I went outside with the flashlight this morning, in the rain and reset it.  The tank started to fill.  However when I turned on the faucet in the bathroon, dark brown muddy water flowed out.  It continued to flow even after letting it go for 5 minutes.  The toilets were filled with the same nasty water.  Finally after 15 minutes or so it started clearing up.  It’s part of the joy of living out in the sticks with a well and septic system.
