Normally, I'm Not A Calorie Counter! If I Ate Fast Food I would Count Calor

Sonic Drive-In is roughly a half mile from my house. This morning I didn't feel like making breakfast. I went to their menu. I selected the Supersonic breakfast burrito with tater tots and black coffee. I was astonished at the calorie count: 950. Plus, in almost every area it exceeded the... Sign in to see full entry.

Major Scare This Morning, Inside And Outside My House!

Chris came by after work to mow my lawn. My son suggested cleaning the oscillating Rainbird maxi-paw sprinkler. After the lawn was mowed, edged and sidewalk blown off of clipping we began the process. There were 5 sprinklers. Ironically they were clean so that eliminated that as a cause for them not...

Didn't Realize I Hadn't Posted Yesterday!

I was so busy yesterday I didn't realize I hadn't updated my blogs. 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 idea... Sign in to see full entry.

Might Be Looking At A Huge Bill For Sprinkler Repair!

At 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... Sign in to see full entry.
