      Recovers from 100+ degree fever, been stuck reading like Mad the last two days... The only benefit: I got two freebie days at work due to the water problems in town.

      It's not pink is it? When I was a kid, sometimes they water would be pink and have a strange smell. I've tried to figure out what that is, to this day even the Bosnian state still doesn't even acknowledge this.

      No, it ain't pink. If nothing else, it's doing to turn several shades of orange or brown. If it's orange, there was a lot of Georgia Red Clay where the pipe broke. If it's brown, then there's just regular dirt... I hope.

      Oh yeah, we had that too, tasted like metal on the tip of your tongue.

      I just made up a rhyme, works in English, not in Serbian:

      Brown, drink it down, if it's pink, avoid the sink.

      I grew up on well water... after a good rain, it was almost always brown for a day or two.

      My tap is brown currently. Little bits floating in it.

      Sometimes you can let it run for a few second and it will clear up.. Or you should keep a Brita water filter on hand, lol.

      Saw one at the Lidl, thought about getting it. But figured we just need to adapt. The local kids use a communal cup at the well. I figure we can manage.

        This tastes better. Totally untreated.

              I can vouch for GA well water.... but I'd have my reservations about drinking international brown "water".

                  My parents have a well. I can't drink city water, I can taste everything in it. Well water tastes so much better.

                      Chironomid fly patterns just arrived, I'm incredibly excited for next week. These are all hand tied by a master, thread by thread. Thing of beauty.

                                That's pretty reasonable.... but I wonder if we have them there kinda bugs down here. Most southern fish are greedy and stupid, so they bite nearly anything when it's warm.

                                  That's a very valid concern and you'd have to do your research. He claims to tie up / duplicate anything you can show him but I highly doubt what you see listed on his site will work for ya.

                                    @MattSpeller I'm guessing shipping to US would be higher too. But those are serious flies... Wooly Buggers are pretty universal, I've caught bass on them plenty of times.

                                        If they were tied by a master,.. that rules you out of the list of persons who would have the skill set for them.

                                        Curious.. wished I knew or had the area around here for this sort of fishing...

                                          Shipping might be pretty cheap... since they could fly over.

                                            Waiting,.. avoiding,.. and even cussing...

                                            Waiting to hear about my brother who is having surgery today.

                                            Avoiding work - but not being very successful with that..

                                            Cussing out a Surface Pro that went flaky.

                                            Waiting: Over, went well and he has already been up walking a little. Ate dinner and while he is still coming out of the stupper, he's getting along well.

                                            Avoiding work.. finally caught up and I had to do some. Some reason I can't get on YouTube from the office desktop now. That might @Mike-Davis 's doing. Or maybe @art_of_shred .

                                            Surface got passed on to another sucker... (missing emoji here)
