Doing some drilling.

The boys began drilling the water well today. Mother Earth was playing hard to get - when I left 

the site at 4 PM, they were down over 450 ft and still only yielding 4 GPM. Hopefully they'll strike a subterranean river soon!

Creepy "slurry" that was discharged from the well bore as the bit made it's way down through clay soil, sandy gravel, and then deep granite bedrock. This stuff looked otherworldly, like something dreamed up by HP Lovecraft or Steven King.

Clearing some of the granite slurry from the well bore.
