water-funny story

We have two water tanks at our house. One right out the door and the other on the roof. The one on the ground pumps the water to the one on the roof and then that one gives us water in the house. Kirk checks the one on the roof often and then turns the pump on almost everyday (the tank on the roof is small compared to the one on the ground). Well Friday morning we were getting ready for fellowship and I got in the shower, Kirk had ran the pump the day before for a while so he thought we had plenty of water. But about half way through my shower the water pressure started decreasing and then no water. I had to get out and wait for about 30 for the bottom tank to pump up and then for the hot water heater to reheat the water, crazy! First time I have ever ran out of water taking a shower!!! The bad part was, since we let the tank on the top run completely out, when we turned the water back on it was disgusting, a dark brown. And it wasn't just in the bathroom, every faucet had to be ran. I realized this when I went to boil water for us to drink and my kettle was almost black!
But after it was all over (and we still made it to fellowship on time, somehow) it was pretty funny!
