67 here, saw some Robins yesterday, Dafodils have started to bloom. Missed most of the Crocuses this year, they were snowed under. About to toddle off to do weekly grocery shopping.  Then some water changes and some serious relaxing.

Been busy all morning paying bills and sorting through some things in the garage after a sluggish start. I didn't realize it was almost 11:00 already. I really need to run some errands. huh I also forgot that I had a couple of loads of laundry going too.

Absolutely beautiful here.  The Privet is in bloom and the fragrance is intoxicating.  Most folks are allergic but I'm not.  I watched my little chickies in their new outside enclosure.  They are so relaxing to watch.  The peeps they make when they are happy is totally soothing.  I'm selling Angels on Simply  It's more fun than selling on AB.

People who want something for a cheaper price often say that what you have for sale is crap.

Oh, I know that....... |^|......but he'd already bought it and tried to trade it for something......LOL.....I just gave him his $$$'s back and kept it......this all happened a couple years ago....

I'm just glad that I caught it before it may have caught fire too..... |^|

Pondmaster sounds like the one I have, A Pondmaste AP100.  I have a spare and a rebuild kit.  When the diaphragms give out, I put in the spare and rebuild the dead one for next time.  Surprised to see that a Jemco 80 will do the same job.  I have looked at the specs and I couldn't find any thing equal to the AP100.

..Jehmco80 doesn't have the same head as the Pondmaster......but still has always handled the load.....Mat Rehberg has the Jehmco80 running well over 125 drops too.....

I have a rebuilt kit for the Pondmaster.....I may give it a whirl replacing it.....if that's what wrong?....this one seems seized.... huh....will the blown diaphragm do that ?

A blown diaphragm will make it run hot and there is a thermal cut-off that shuts it off.  I suppose there could be something else wrong with it.  Not too hard to put in new diaphragms and valves, Even I could do it.  I will have to look at the Jehmco80 pump again, I am not running 125 drops, but close to 100.
