Had to wait a full day once while they put new tubing down in a well. It was 100 degree day and the workers busted their azzes changing the tubing while wearing full fire resistant coveralls. I bet there was at least 100 empty plastic water bottles laying on the ground when they were done. They worked on the tubing until 1:00 am then reinstalled our pump. I ran a couple tests then drove up to DFW and barely made my 7:00 am flight home.
Those workers were hardcore as was their supervisor. I don't think any sentence I heard him speak did not include the "F" bomb.

You were probably working with friends of mine. Hopefully you took your shotgun and were able to get out and do some quail hunting. As my Cleburne friends say, the most successful ranchers are those with herds of Lufkins.
