water is a precious resource not to be wasted. Once it falls off the edge, just past the horizon, it's not coming back.

     I have no idea how much water we use. Of course we have a B&B so some days there are a lot of showers/toilet flushes happening, not to mention the jetted tubs.

I do however have a water bill story. Here it is.

     Back in my younger days long before I got married I bought a duplex that needed serious renovation before I could even move in. I got a little help from family getting the roofing done but did almost everything else myself. Needless to say I was living on a financial edge those early years. One day I open my water bill, probably in summer of '89. ??? $600+ !!! holy shit, there was no way that could be true so I go down to the water department and ask them about my bill. They look into their records and say that the outside meter display was not working correctly for some time, like over a year and that they had simply billed me the minimum payment. Of course, no one thought to either fix the damned thing or even notify me that something was wrong. So I went home bill in hand. My dilemma was that there was no way that I could pay that stupid bill. I went down into the basement and gave the water meter a good look. It was OLD, with a geared meter. You could see it clock up as water was being used. It also had a wire that went out to the digital meter on the wall outside. The wire was loose and that only took about three seconds with a screwdriver to fix.

    This is what I did. I removed the water meter from the supply pipe and disassembled it I reset the meter to read a much lower value than was on it. I swapped numbers like replacing 61000 with 16000, kinda like what your operator does just before the big crash. I reassembled it and installed it, pleased that it worked as before. I then went back to the water department and complained that they must have misread the meter. They bought it.

I remember longtime WWF announcer Gorilla Monsoon would always say, "Hey, I resemble that remark!"

I think it may have originally been something Curly may have said in the Three Stooges, but I remember Gorilla using it often, so I give him the credit.  :yes:

Big mistake, pool balls are the flushing standard, golf balls are for those with diarrhea.
