Fingers crossed. We have (had) a sprinkler system. What a pain in the azz. I haven't used it for years after a early freeze/ snow and some broken lines.
We've had one for ten years with little or no problems. I don't miss the hoses.
The new house is two acres and she has the system covering the entire property.
I can tell you that's not going to happen. It's well shaded and won't need that much.
Immediate yard and flower beds is all it will need.

Hey bartender!
Pain to repair existing system (ask me how I know!). Sure is nice to water the yard by pushing a button tho..
We also have a rain sensor on our sprinkler. That's really nice when we go out of town for a week or so.

Hey bartender!
I never installed a rain sensor. Seems pointless here in the desert. Kinda like gutters!
Cool shifters but still not as good as the Slap Stick.
I'm surprised feminist groups haven't found that yet. lol
Well it's in the oven, bout 2 hours per lb. bone in. Wish me luck, lol I seem to find ways of screwing these up!
Naw, you can't screw one up. The internal temp will stall around 160°. That's when I wrap them and finish the cook to 203°. Take it out of the oven, wrap it in old towels, and let it rest a couple hours in a old cooler.
Pretty much cleared up, but I had a problem with taste this week. Not caused by covid though. At least not directly. I've been taking zinc which is supposed to be an immunity boost. Either ones that just say zinc, or Zicam. Both dissolve in your mouth. I also recently had issues with sensitive gums/teeth. I'm sure part of that is cause I am a year overdue for a cleaning. I was scheduled for that the week all the restrictions started here. So, the wife got me some hi-test mouth rinse... I used that and then did a Zicam. Think the combo 'burnt' my tongue a bit. I could still taste, but not as strong as usual, and my tongue felt weird and had a lingering medicinal taste for a week.
If it doesent rain, i dont have to cut grass. 8 acres is a long day. In spring its once a week around the house,every two weeks for the rest of the yard.
Last summer was dry, so the back part only got 4 cuts.
Exactly. WHY would I water the grass so I gotta cut more often? lol
Turn out the sheep. Cut the grass and fertilize at the same time.
Well good news. Worked out the exchange for the rockers. They’re actually taking care of it fully on their end, I gotta do nothing.

Big hunk of public property down the street. Part of it is a City Park and softball field. Part of it is the County Sheriff Sub Station. The remainder belongs to the Airport District. Last summer they put up signs on the fence around the Airport section, "Please Do Not Feed The Sheep".
That parcel is undeveloped and has brush and Eucalyptus trees on it. Sure as life I cruise by a day or two later, they have their mowing crew out grazing between the trees. It's a diverse crew, mixed sheep and goats. 
Damn, I bumped my for sale items right in the middle of a busy sale page that no one will see. I have a plan though.
Ranger is done. Managed to get air out of master without removing it. I applied vacuum to resevoir, and cycled pedal. I had some sound deadening foam from my truck, stuck it to a washer and it made a tight seal. Worked very well.
I'm still wrestling with the ranger here, little basturd, doesn't want to be fixed.
While you're driving the fuel cuts out cyclical, up and down..... it cuts out and then comes back up.

My Dakota did that but it was a ECM. If the computer is out in the open, tap on it with a screwdriver handle. If it cuts out you know where to go next.
Did you check the inertia switch?
Time to winch the chevy back into shop.
Sure did. I bypassed it with a jumper wire and same thing and the truck wiring looks real healthy
