My son, Mik, made time to look at my sprinklers. He did a pressure check and all zones are getting the same pressure. Zones 2 and 4 work as intended. Zones 1 and 3 get water properly to certain points and then it slows down. No...https://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/sam444/996014My oldest son, Mik, and his wife are coming down from the mountains to spend the night. I will be taking them to the airport tomorrow evening so they can catch their flight. It's one of three legs before they land in Jamaica! His wife, Cina, will be celebrating her 40th birthday. It's crazy how...https://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/sam444/996001At the beginning of each watering season Chris cleans the filters and adjust the sprinkler heads. My lawn was quite high when he mowed today. Once the lawn was completely mowed several brown spots appeared. He cleaned the filters again and tried to adjust the sprinklers but there wasn't any...https://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/sam444/995971Jessica finished her day at 2 p.m. Friday Mountain time. We had a plan to go to two garden centers. The first garden center only had one of the items we wanted. It was a galvanized tomato cage. She has four plants iqn her garden.

Yesterday I went to the dermatologist at my daughter's insistence. She is...https://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/sam444/995920I got a questionnaire regarding the front and back of my poetry book. I wrote the blurb yesterday and would like input as to readability, did it want you to look at the book and any other suggestion you might have to improve it. Poetry book blurb It seems our lives are spent looking at the world,...https://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/sam444/995893My representative responded to my questions. I felt some of her responses were along the lines of disclaimers rather than specifically to my book. When this is done I'm going to suggest they do a 'welcome' type packet to explain the process.i have been more confused than necessary. When then sent...https://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/sam444/995873Jessica had a color yesterday so I stayed home. Even though the dyes for hair color have come a long way with processing we have found it still aggravates my asthma.

Therefore, I had some...https://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/sam444/995852l received the second draft of my poetry book on Thursday. I usually scan it and then think about the changes the next day followed by my written response.

Hopefully tomorrow they start a new streak. I...
