Capped well or drainage?

This is in my back 40 shop that started as a barn in the early 1900.

Im really hoping this is a well cap that I can tap into.

I'm trying to establish a native Prairie garden and replacing invasive trees with local fruits bushes and trees.

This takes a lot of water and it will take a lot of effort to get it from the house.

If this is a well, can you point me towards a resource that will help me build it out?

Im comfortable with basic user level plumbing. I've changed out faucets and extended lines. TIA!

A $1 mixed box had four 2+ carat Montana sapphires. I just wanted the awesome green button.

I love sassy vintage buttons. The zap one is amazing!

The cancer one is straight offensive but also darkly hilarious. Breast/lung cancer runs in the family, and it made me lol. I felt bad about it, but if you can't laugh at the ridiculous during dark times, you'll go a little insane.

Anywho, I didn't really examine the baggie of rocks. I 🧡 rocks, so I was happy to have any shinies.

I posted them over at [gemstones](https://www.reddit.com/r/Gemstones/comments/1vjzck7/did\_i\_find\_garage\_sale\_sapphires/) and realized I had some rare sized Montana Sapphires. Two are 2+ carats and 2 are 3+ carats.

I found actual treasure, lol.

I also got an old, WORKING spinning wheel for $40! I'll make a separate post for it later. And they had fry bread tacos!

Hands down, best garage sale weekend ever.

Did I find garage sale sapphires?

Hi All! This little bag was in a small box of mixed jewelery I got for $1. I was really getting it for the button at the end, lol.

I am an avid rockhound and am decent at mineral IDs. I think these are sapphires. Color leans blue in two. Very hard. Haven't done Mohs but it feels as hard as a garnet. At least.

The label is badly faded. The light blue is, i think, the name. I can't read it, but it doesn't look like it says sapphire.

Looking for confirmation, title on label or alternate suggestions. If you want to save me a search later, I'd appreciate valuation. TIA my mineral loving internet friends!

Help changing 30A fuse.

2013 Chevy Equinox, not sure of engine size, lots of miles.

Hello friends! I'm kind of embarrassed to have to ask this question, but....

How the heck do I remove this 30A fuse? I want to swap the pink (driver seat recline motor) with the red (rear defogger). Do i need to remove the bolt in the middle of them first? I've tried to use needle nose pliers, but they just popped the cover off. TIA!

Background: Mom leaned on the recline button while doing her scratchies.

The driver seat is now stuck in the fully reclined position. I want to swap the fuses to see if that is the problem.

Sorry for the crap pic. If a better one is necessary, I'll pop over to her place and get a better one.

Thank you!

Edit: It turns out I just wasn't using enough force and was gripping it wrong, lol. They just feel so flimsy when you try to grab the whole thing.

Thanks to the redditor who pointed out the super obvious, but very helpful, just grip one wall.

Also, it wasn't the fuse.

1940's Handywhip with jadeite container

Found this lovely little machine at the flea market. I probably overpaid a bit at $100, but i 💚 it.

I've been looking for the UG hand mixer, I didn't even know the electric ones exist! It's the world's cutest egg beater, lol

It doesn't work, but it looks pretty simple to replace the cord. That's a future project!

The glow pics were taken in my porch with full daylight. It is VERY glowy.
