Well (no pun intended) I finally had time to drop an ice cube in the well to get an idea of how much water is in my well.  It took the ice cube 2 seconds to hit water.  Through calculations I figure I have in the ball park of 144 feet of water in the well.  That equates to approximately somewhere in the ballpark of 190 gallons.  I don't think I have anything to worry about.

Side note - the reason I used an ice cube as opposed to a small pebble is if the ice cube struck something expensive on the way down, I figure it would shatter the ice cube not the expensive item.  Plus, if it decided to get stuck between something and the side wall, it simply would melt away over time and not become a permanent fixture in the well. 

I want thank everyone for the suggestions and help.  I love this forum.  Roger
