What I ended up doing in the garden sort of squashed me. Well, and the disappointment at not being able to get the drip line in. I did figure out the lawn water problem. Not only had the timer been turned off, someone had put a kink in the hose. I suppose they thought if I found one it might be a while before I found the other. Now, if the town wants to shut down lawn watering, so be it. But I expect that to be even steven, across the board or not at all. I best not catch who is doing that. It is running as I speak. Actually, I better give it a good long soak. It's been a very long time and shows.
Tomorrow the goal is to get back into the garden and get going after weeds. Mostly I just want to clear out a sun path for those plants that are doing fine other than being in the shade, and create aisles. Who knows, I might yet get the drip system in. That might also take care of some of the weeds through lack of water. I just don't know at this point.
I got the steaks sorted, stored in bags, and freezing as I write. After that I decided to light up the grill for a steak. I bought two, just chuck for grill trials, here at home. Ribeye for the road. Hamburger is my next mission. I will be chopping onion to fill a few hamburger centers. I might even grate or chunk some of the last bits of cheddar I have for a few centers. Just something novel that I am working at improving. I won't be able to get center fills down tight until I have the time and resources to develop a technique. Which means a lot of hamburgers. Hmm, I could always offer the extras out to various families around town. Not that they are even poor, it's just with six kids and two parents, I have to think mom loves even a partial night out of cooking. There are three, wait four, families, that I know personally, who probably wouldn't mind a freebie. Especially since they would be helping me out. Oh, I'll have the things down pretty well before offering such a thing. That will just be to cement the skill and know doneness. Now, I like mine rare, but understand the flaws in that. Instead, I go to a solid medium/medium rare... when I have the skills down. It's been a while.
An half hour for the grill to heat up, then a steak. Hmm, I should split out a couple of potatoes, into wedges, and put those on. Yeah... Later.
