Bad day at black rock

 

It was a tough weekend for me.

Blazing hot.

Padres took an epic dump, first with a home run that was stolen from them by a roof girder in Milwaukee and then their ace closer blowing up in the ninth inning in the second game.

We will get them tomorrow.

Another body part went on strike and I spent a good portion of the weekend in bed, feeling like shit.

Tried to take a shower yesterday, wait, no pressure, ran outside to see the main line break in the air like I had sprung an oil well.

Bad day for a break as only Ace was open and you should see what they charge for a single coupling these days.

Finally got water back around six o'clock yesterday evening.

My friend fixed another break for me the day before and I have to completely re-do it tomorrow as it is evident he does not understand irrigation 101.

If you want the job done right do it yourself and after 45 years or so I have fixed miles of pipe. Problem is that the gray pipe is now splitting so I have a lot more fun to look forward to.

I am tempted to ask what next but don't want to jinx anything and am afraid I will find out.
