Tom,
Sunday morning just as Tim was coming in from feeding the horses, he walked past a 2" plastic pvc pipe that connects our well water to city water. Dang thing broke right in front of him and shot water wayyyy up in the air. We have shut offs on each end, so he just shut it off. Had to replace a 90 degree elbow that broke/split right apart. We have even turned on the heat in the motor home because we don't winterize here in good old San Diego. Lots of people in Home Depot getting new piping, back flow units and insulation tape. We also have a few fruit trees and I'm picking fruit that may have been zapped by the freeze.
It's getting warmer by the day; but not by much. Now I'm going to have to fill the propane tank in the motor home to be ready for the cold weather in Kernville and then in Quartszite.
