All Aboard!

 When we first got here, there was a 

sales flyer in our mail from the local

TrueValue Hardware store advertising

a nifty little yard sprinkler.

But by then the sale was LONG past.

However, as we wander around town

we have seen LOTS of people who 

have this nifty little sprinkler.

And yesterday I took the leap,

(And a leap it was,,, they are pricey...)

Introducing the Rain Train.

It's not a great picture, but it was running and I

didn't want to get wet, so I took it through 

the kitchen door.

It is called a Rain Train Traveling Sprinkler.

It is a beefy little guy.

The body is cast iron.

You hook it up to your hose and then spread your

hose in the pattern you want it to follow.

And then it just walks along the hose

and waters wherever you want it to!

It's pretty nifty!

It has a good solid watering radius and

the water isn't like tiny and ineffective.

(Some sprinklers just don't seem to put

out much water,...)

Anyhow, Kyle set it up in the backyard

while I was teaching and it did a great job!

(And then we had a thunderstorm and it 

rained anyway... lol.)

Anyhow.

I'm pretty impressed.

We will probably have it go through the back gate

and water the back back yard as well.

Just need to move all Kyle's vehicles.

Today we are heading to the storage units.

Gotta get moved out of #10 and into #3.

No need to pay for 2 if we can fit it in 1.

(And #10 leaks and has a mama bird who

keeps coming in, laying eggs, hatching them

out, but the babies can't figure out how to

get back out and they die. Its sad, and stinky.)

Once we move out the owner said he will go in

and fix it before he rents it again.

(It's just one small screw hole in the roof

that is causing the leak... and some foam spray

stuff under the eave should take care of the bird.)
