So things got a little spicier in the past couple of days. Our sprinkler system in the front yard had a major blow out somewhere along the line, and water was gushing out of a hole that opened up in the ground at least ten feet from any of the sprinkler heads. It may be more than a little bit of a chore to find the broken pipe.
Then too, we found out that we are not healthy enough to be covered by health insurance -- the old "pre-existing condition" clause. We're fine, and really haven't had any issues for at least two years except for blood pressure and cholesterol issues common to our age group.
Puts you on edge a bit...it's just about the hottest time of the year, and we can't be without the sprinklers for too long. So we'll have to get to digging and see where the pipes are broken. Or maybe figure out another way to water.
I'm pretty sure the health insurance system is broken also. More digging I suppose. Oh well, I've got the time. I might as well put it to good use.
Dig carefully and slowly! Sorry about the ugly letters. The dog has the right idea! Spring into summer!
ReplyDeleteGod forbid we let you have insurance so you can maintain your good health. Much better to wait until you are seriously ill, bankrupt you, and put you on the dole!
