Yeah, no. Again.

I did get out.  I thought I would fix a problem with the water hose I have that runs around to the plants.  As is it leaks if I leave it on.  Meaning, every time I want to water the flowers, and currently crops, I have to run around the house, or through it, turn the water on.  Then, when I am finished, truck back and turn it off.  It is a severe leak.  But!  Last year, thinking this might be a problem, I purchased a load of washers.  Finding those... took a bit.  But I did find them.  Now they will go in with the plumbing gear.  Nice little notion the fellow at HD offered.  A... retired plumber himself.  His spit has been bullseye.  And, it keeps on giving it seems.  Anyway... So I change the washer.  Nada.  Still dripping, or more flowing.  So... I get one of the industrial hoses I bought last year.  That'll fix it.  Nope.  I changed the washer for it.  Nope.  I checked to see if the connection dripped if it was simply turned off.  Nope.  WTF?!?  Never mind.

I quit that and went on to see about the drip connections.  I hammered them down, and hand to run two more rows of main line.  I then dug holes for the tomatoes and peppers.  But I was done.  Between the trip to town, wrestling with two 100 foot garden hoses, staking the lines, and digging the holes, I am done.  But... I did get to some of it.  And I did try some extra work.  And I should be set for tomorrow. 

The goal is to be up around 8:00.  I won't take a shower first thing, just put on ragamuffin clothing and get to the garden as soon as I can wake.  I need to install the bleeder nipples as I plant things so that I can water them right away.  A good hour of watering, at full speed, ought to help.  Then I'll set the timer for an half hour run at about dusk.  Dawn would be fine, I suppose.  Nah... the water would evaporate much more quickly.  Dusk it is.  Just for the first three or four days, then put it on, perhaps, M/W/F, for an half hour?  Perhaps only twice a week.  I'll just have to see how it goes.  I don't mind running it longer as it is so much less than a sprinkler.  I think I have some bone meal, or some kind of mix with that, to put in with the plants while I am planting them.  I may see if I can find that and read the instructions before I crash.

Now?  Gotta cool down as quickly as possible.  Perhaps a shower if that isn't going fast enough.  I need to get to bed by 23:00, or that's the goal.  Even so, 8:00 will be tight.  That's four hours earlier in just a few days, and needing to repeat that Thursday?  An earlier rise is a bugger anyway, this is going to be a real challenge.  Yeah, I'm pushing it.  We'll see.  Yeah, I got some mojo back today.  I just hope I can do that for a few more days.  THEN I can crash on the weekend.  Hmm... wait... the 4th is coming up.  Gah!  Wait... my friend's friend might be able to drive them in.  If he can get the wheelchair one way, I can get it out here, and put it back, to take up some of the heft.  He has trouble with that.  Hmm... but, when I go in Thursday, now I have to go, I will need to buy potatoes and cabbage, for the sides.  I bought hotdog and hamburger buns today, and mayonnaise.  I just can't... keep everything aloft in my juggling act.  Just so much and then I start shutting down and that is that for then.

Meh...  I'll get there.  Later.  Perhaps good night.
