A bit of a disconnected afternoon.\u00a0 A long nap followed by working for a while in the heat trying to figure which zone on our irrigation clock corresponded to which actual sprinklers.\u00a0 This was necessary because we got a new clock and the guy joined the wires in roughly the same order as the old one.\u00a0 Roughly.<\/p>\n
