Paradise ponders... Yesterday afternoon I mowed our back yard and lit off the sprinklers. This morning the sprinklers were still going, and I had this bejeweled view of our pines in the early morning light. Shortly after I finished the back yard, I started mowing our “golf course” out front. About 15 minutes into that effort, the skies opened and it started pouring rain. The grass got very slippery, and as I was mowing alongside my hand line (irrigation pipe), the mower slid sideways, up and over the pipe, chewing a sprinkler head into about a million pieces. This was a solid brass RainBird 30 sprinkler, too – warranted for life, but I'm pretty sure not against destruction by mower :)
This morning I ran up to Valley Implement and purchased a replacement sprinkler plus a patch for a hole in the 3" pipe that the mower also made. The repairs took only a few minutes (once I had the right parts), and after that I mowed the rest of our yard. I've got the irrigation going now on the front yard, too. That means I've got a total of 20 sprinkler heads going simultaneously, and thankfully our water pressure is high enough today for that to all work well.

Got my hair cut this morning. The barber was terribly disappointed that I wouldn't let him trim my beard :)
