Busy Busy Busy
June 23, 2007 on 9:11 pm | In Main |Normally I do my writing here shortly before going to bed, but the last few days, I’ve been tired enough that I’ve skipped writing.
My accomplishment today was fixing the sprinkler system. I hit one of the sprinkler heads with the lawnmower. This one spot has always been a problem, and it turns out that I have replaced that particular head enough that threads on the riser barb had been stripped. I could not get the riser out with the stripped threads, so I had to dig a big hole and cut off the pipe in order to put in a new fitting. Since I needed to put in a coupler anyways, I increased the length of the pipe to put the sprinkler closer to the edge of the lawn, which is slightly higher. This should end the problem of hitting the sprinkler with the lawnmower. This entire job would not been to bad if I did not have to deal with a mud pit.
In other news, Zip has finally become comfortable around Princess. I guess he realized that if he wanted human attention, he would have to put up with the dog.
