Cranky in Tucson

I am cranky.  Why? you ask.  Because we have no running water.  Apparently a contractor (they always blame the contractors) broke a 6 inch water main.  That happened around 2:30, it's 5:30 now.  The Tucson Water Department can't locate the proper valve with which to turn off the water that is currently running out of the break.  Fortunately, it's going into a conveniently located storm drain.  However, we rode this morning, packed all day and I would really like to take a shower!  First world problems, don't you know.  We're currently discussing how to best prepare dinner with no running water.  Since I was a pandemic hoarder, I have enough hand sanitizer for 40 people, so we don't have to worry about touching raw meat and giving ourselves food poisoning.

The bougainvillea sulked all during June.  I watered it a lot, but apparently it wasn't that water it wanted.  Since we've had rain, it has grown like crazy and bloomed a lot.

We all continue to be amazed by the slide.  We see people stopping to take photos, or just standing in their drive ways looking at it.  These are taken from different angles.

 
This is our neighbor's rig.  He really loves driving the tractor and towing the 5th wheel.  It's a big 5th wheel, and it's elderly so I suspect it's heavy.  His tow vehicle is more than up to the task.

For tooling about town, there is this vehicle.  One drives it off on ramps.  They are heading out fairly soon.

So, that's all I've got.  No water and no ecd for when it will be fixed.

Update to post at 6:56 pm.  "Crew on site turning multiple valves to isolate main to start repairs."  That's from the water department's outage page.  That translates as "we have no clue" where the valve to shut off the water is."

Update to post at 9:07 pm.  Still turning valves.

Update to post the next morning.  Around 9:30 pm they started repairs, water was back on at 1:00 am this morning.  At present the water department is calling Jim to see if everything is ok.
