Only once was I first to get the water from the hose. Too damn warm sitting in the sun. Miss getting the bucket from the well at my grandparents house.
We drank from the creek more than from the hose 
Only water at my Mamaw & Papaws house was drawn up out of a hand dug well on a slope east of the old farm house. Just north of that well was a root cellar where they kept veggies.
My dad would go down in that well and get sand out every once in a while.
They got runnin water around 78 or 79 when the well got to sandy to use anymore. Didnt have a bathroom or a washer & dryer till the late 80s.

How many people on here now have a pussified family that doesn't drink tap water?

I just went bicycle riding with a 33-year-old guy who has owned a bicycle of some sort for almost every year of his life since he was 12 years old, and you know that he's never used a bicycle pump until today?!?!.
Why? The pussification of America, and growing up in a single-parent household led by the mother with no father around.
How can you own a bicycle and not own a bicycle pump? Well, because in the past whenever his bike tires were soft his mom would load the bicycle into the back of her SUV and drive him to the bicycle store and have a professional technician inflate the tires to the recommended pressure!
Yuk I know that takes some getting used to
In the 60's I played or went to the drive-in movies with my honey and we played games there. In the 70's they cut my hair, gave me a uniform and said "throw bullets at the bad guy", and I found that wasn't that much of a fun game. I also had hippies spitting at me in the airport and calling me bad names. I let that go at the time. I don't want to play those silly games anymore.
Remember the Farm Store glass milk jugs? You could get .25 cents deposit for them.
When I was young(er) the only 33 year old men who road bikes were drunkards or dullards -

I still keep a half dozen or so 2 liter Coke bottles in the freezer for road trips.
I keep an OJ bottle full of water in the fridge - don't work outside like I used to, but when I come in, I want a drink of cold water NOW, not in the two minutes it takes the fancy spigot in the fridge door to fill a glass. My SO makes fun of me because I can't wait, I offer her the opportunity to work in the yard in 90 degree heat for 3 or 4 hours, she declines.
The OP really brings back memories. That was at home, and exactly how football practice was carried out. Then after practice, we would take a handful of salt tablets. I still don't understand why we all haven't stroked out from that.
