A good night.

.
.
The driver was sleepy, crashing.  Not literally, but... he was baked.  If I didn't mention, he works twelve hours, give or take, before driving mosquito abatement spray truck at night.  And, what he does is installs sprinklers, in 90 to 100 degree weather.  Often manually trenching, or digging the valves, sometimes six feet down.  So... yeah.

It had been cooling.  But the winds picked up.  Twelve miles an hour, or knots?  Anyway, can't spray then.  But with the wind, came heat.  It was cooling, had gotten down to 71 or so, then jumped to 85.  Humid as well.  He thought a storm was coming.  I suggested the only way a storm would present, is if cold came down from the north.  It could happen, but not tonight?

I am watering the lawn as I write.  Looked around online, but most people are pulling the rugs up at 18:00 or so?  The internet isn't what it used to be.  For good or ill.  People just aren't here anymore.

Oh well.  In any case, I want to get the lawn watered as fast as possible, then get on to bed.  I cut the grass a day or two ago.  At least the front lawn.  The bit of the side lawn which is green just didn't need cutting, and I didn't want to wrestle with the hose and sprinkler to open up that little bit either.

I am looking forward to sleep tonight.  Ah, the beeper.  The first portion is done.  Now to turn it off, switch it and reset it, then do the other zones.  Later, or more likely good night.  Sweet dreams.  And all that jazz.
