More MAINT REQ'D

It may be recalled, from our previous post, how That Industrious Fuzz revived from the depths of disease to preform that dreaded "Required Maintenance". It was also hinted that there was a bit more to this tale.
After his success at the oil change, he stepped inside to wash his greasy old hands.
Not having that fancy waterless hand cleaner, The Fuzz relies on that old standby, Dish Detergent. One drawback to this method is, that as a general rule, it requires water. As our hero was about to apply the stuff, he had a sudden flash of insight, and decided to see if there was any of that water available first. When he discovered a deficiency in this area, he slipped down under the house to investigate. It is not uncommon at this time of year, to turn off the pump, as a precaution against freezes.
The pump was, indeed cut off. But it had also, somehow, lost it's prime. Since The Fuzz's Sweetie has plans to use the house this week, he thought it best to address this situation as well. As he drew some water from the well, he discovered that there was a hole in the bucket. But since Eliza wasn't there, he said nothing about it. It was only a small one, and he was able to easily draw the necessary water to prime the pump.Happily, it only took a few tries to get things right. He was finally able to wash his hands, and His Sweetie will have water this week!

And don't forget about
Your Sweetie
today!
