Not much more, but a little.

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.
