Just do it like they did in the old days. A 22 cal short fired down the pipe cleans it right up.

I discussed "shooting" the well with my Father-in-law, a well driller for 50 years. He laughed and said "Horse$#!^!!" Pretty awesome guy. Explained that a .22short fired into a column of water 20feet tall ain't likely to do anything other that leave anothet chunk of crap in the well to brock flow. What he suggested was to Shock the well with swimming pool shock treatment. let it set for a little while (2 beers) and surge it with a hose. I'm using a 55 gal barrel, a hose and plastic pipe. I'll see if I can float some of the crud out of the well. If not...my wallet will take another beating.

Drinking and cards tonite with a coworker and friends. Housecleaning Saturday morning, depending when I get up. Fishing the Merrimack Saturday nite with my sister, bro-in-law, and his dad. Crisping on the beach all Sunday. Counting the days til RRC comes back.

The worst day fishing is better than the best day working. ...Wait a minute, my work IS fishing. Sweet.
