The end of guessing..

To start the growing season every year I don't use a timer for the plants.. And it is good because not everything needs  a boatload of water that early.. A week ago I turned the water on and went and moved the sprinklers to the front, and went about my evening events (watching tv)  came down and thought I could hear the water running.. Turns out yes indeed it was running.. So forty five minutes of what is usually maybe ten minutes needed..  Oh well..  Then last night happened.. I did the same thing, set the water to go while I moved the sprinkler to the front, set it for the sequence this morning and went in and did my evening stuff.. This time I didn't hear the water running and this morning mom says, the ramp sure is wet.. Well it did just rain but something clicked in my head.. DID I LEAVE THE   WATER ON ALL NIGHT???  Yes I did.  SHEEEUT!!!  So I got the timer out and hooked up.. No more mistakes dammit.. Thing is the tomatoes didn't need watering, they got watered during the watering of the lawn.. I also had filled the Earth box reservoir right up full, so they all gor more than they ever needed last night plus a little rain.. Goodie..

The saga of as the McD turns.. There are new owners of the McD there in town.. Watching the place go downhill the way it has is just astonishing.. For one thing  think their starting wage is a dime or so above minimum  and most everyone had to start there after making what they were.. They all got their pay cut.. The old GM moved back to where he was originally from to work for the guy he started with forever ago.. The new GM is clueless.. This past weekend he fired five people so that might have been a third of his work force.. Guess what dude, you are about a month away from losing your school age work force..   It's interesting to see how things are out there.. You get the feeling that the new owners don't care about their workers, besides the cut in pay they cut the breaks to one half an hour break and got rid of vacation pay..  What's next, they have to pay for their own food out there?? 

Looked at the video I shot from Sunday.. This is gonna be tough editing down..  It was before but now as the girls get older I can't see the process getting easier.. I look at these girls and think there is just no way I am related to them.. Any of the girls in the family.. Just blows me away.. I was adopted, this is proof..
