As much fun in the sun as I can do for today.

I didn't get much more done.  I ran the lines for the rows I want.  The only other thing I will do outside today is water the flowers and crop plants when the heat has dissipated a bit.  I did find information about how far apart dripper heads need to be, for the various soil types and flow rates.  But that will have to wait another day.  Well... it is started.  There are a couple of items I would like to get.  I need something to pin the hoses in.  I suppose I could just make stakes, and do it with a nail and stake method.  I'd like to find a more elegant, safe, and sure method.  I wasn't impressed with the plastic stakes they produce, but longer 'horseshoe' nails (smaller ones are used to attach fencing to posts, can't recall the common name), seem like they would work better.

After a bit of cooling off, I am hoping to try the compression fittings.  No promises, but...  It would be nice to simply try the faucet.  I haven't even been able to try it since I got the new part!  Gah!  That should be easy enough.  If it works, the rest of it is simple.  If it doesn't, that becomes very simple... for the moment.  But first a break, something cool to drink, maybe a spot of food, and something relaxing to do.

I am doing what I can, with what I have.  Wrong, often enough.  Too little, too much, wrong size, wrong type, this, that, and the other thing, but... it's... getting there even so.  Boy is it hot.  AC and some fans, for now.  I can't wait until payday to try the evap cooler project, sans the solar power for now.  If it works as well as I hope, either another one will be constructed or I may begin figuring out a solar system just for it, for the moment.  Wet meet feet, perhaps.  Actually, might do both.  A little cooling in the garage, without risking the rickety electrical out there, would be nice.  But more cooling in here wouldn't hurt at all, first off.

Later.
