The great hose shuffle

Wednesday

I got up early. I put stuff back in the hall bathroom and noticed that the toilet seat is broken, like someone stood on it. I prepared for coffee morning with coffee, supplements and exercises. After rounds of meditation and tapping, I cleaned the bathrooms and toilets and washed dishes, including the fine china that we used Monday night. l vacuumed, showered, and laid outside and read. It was nice and sunny.

I checked messages online. I submitted an ICE report about lack of water pressure in the garden. I went to inspection at 3. One inspector opened the stove top so I could clean under it. I asked about water at the garden and was told they would have to dig up the new fence to fix it.

Afterward, I went to Self-Help for a sprinkler head. Then Collie came by and checked out another one for me. Jamie came by and I gave her some cleaners from the apartment yesterday. I stopped by the library to give Keli some egg boxes. She did not have any eggs for me.

I went home and cleaned out my car looking for the wrench which I didn't find. I couldn't get the old sprinkler off to put on new sprinkler head. I put the new sprinkler on the hose on the other side of the house, then decided to roll that 150 ft onto a hose winder, so then I needed another short hose to connect the winder to the faucet. When I turned on the water, I could not work the sprinkler. So I looked up a video then went out to make adjustments. Success! Although to be fair, it did not sprinkle as well as the old one.

When Chris came home, I asked him to separate the old sprinkler from the hose, but he could not. So I took the hose/sprinkler to the garden. I detached the last hose and replaced it with the hose/sprinkler. I set the sprinkler up to water Jenni's garden and mine. Another guy was there working on his garden. He tried to help me get water but my section just wasn't getting any pressure. He said he would tell someone about it. I used extra hoses to drip water on plants near the ends of the gardens which weren't getting much water from the sprinkler. I forked some of the hay off of my garden. I turned the sprinkler 90 degrees to see if that would be better. I was able to keep it from watering too much other stuff.

I went home. I got a message from John that he needed another hose. I shuffled hoses around to get a sprinkler going on each side and still have a hose to water with. It didn't leave any hoses for John but I can trade the really long one for his shorter one.

I came in and listened to Col. Macgregor talk about foreign policy. Then I worked on my blog. We watched one episode of Longmire. We paused it when I heard the automatic sprinklers come on for the first time this year. What are the odds? Probably pretty good after I spent all that time setting up my own sprinkling system. When Longmire was over, we read through a section of the bible study book. Chris went to bed, but I stayed up to read online and order from Holosync.
