Saw a rabbit our by our hot tub… a day after we saw a Racer snake.
Hopefully those two will take turns in the yard so we have less death.

Dex and I installed an open sprinkler irrigation controller.
It is choice! The only slight mis-steps are A) We had 9 stations which meant we had to upgrade to 20 stations because the standard 8 wasn’t going to cut it and B) I didn’t get a right proper water proof enclosure so we had to hack the old one up to fit the new guts.
There were quite a few new talents to take care of here. One most important was testing for live 120V AC wires – with my kid watching. No one was shocked.
We managed to get it all done before Mariel got home and we surprised her with some automated, 10 seconds per zone, water works. It felt like fireworks 🙂

A few unexpected developments today. One was that Mariel didn’t really me /out/ of the bigger, heavier, more expensive shelf for the garage.
Another was that, while I did have the foresight to remove one middle chair from the bus, i removed the wrong one. This meant that Mariel had to ride in the trunk, 80’s style.
The last unconsiderable was how much work I’d have to do in order to make space in the cluttered garage to place the shelves in order to un clutter the garage.
It all worked out though, house improved.
