hole number 4...













Have yet to bottom out hole #3...decided to get started on #4 this morning.  Only got down about a foot then the hammer drill quit on me.  The dreaded worn brush syndrome.  Opened it up and sure enough, one of the brushes was down to nothin'.  Once again  http://www.ereplacementparts.com/ to the rescue.  New brushes will go out in the mail on Monday. 

Took advantage of the sudden down time and changed the oil on the generator then baked some long overdue Field Lab specialty bread in the solar oven for my good neighbors.  Shot a video of how easy the caliche is to drill through.  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jmPQ9jlsJuM  98,104,73,0,B
