Nothing much to post about today after a long weekend of starting to getting the house and yard ready for the painters and backyard light installers.

Unfortunately, the word of the day is W-A-T-E-R, water. After washing the cartridges down my pool filter is suddenly leaking all around the seals. My front yard sprinkler system has stopped working for some reason, and the new sideyard system appears to have a leak that needs attending to.

Living out here in the desert southwest I’m sensitive to water use and hate wasting water for any reason. I’m sure there are many out there that wouldn’t care, but I do, so what was already going to be a hectic (and expensive) week just got a little more so.

It’ll be interesting to see where this all leads.
