Don’t get old: Ya can’t remember yer name!!
Much less that you needed to get out in the 110-degree heat and turn the hoses on the backyard plants.
This, to make up for some A**-hole TURNING OFF the irrigation in my yard, thereby killing everything in sight.
Sheeee-ut!
Fortunately, I noticed before all the backyard trees were dead. These, mostly citrus, need to be watered regularly and deeply.
So…now I’m running around in 110-degree heat, dragging hoses and trying to deep-water the trees and plants back there.
As infuriating as this is…amazingly I failed to remember this fiasco until about 5:00 this afternoon. God. DAM. It.
So I missed today’s project to try to re-irrigate the vegetation back there.
Just darted back in the house — at 5:00 p.m. — having started to lay out hoses and run sprinklers.
Dammit. Now this will take until about 9:00 tonight. Just what I wanted to do with a roasting-hot evening!
Jayzuz! What the HELL would possess some clown to turn off all the water in my yard? We’re talking a full-fledged irrigation system that drenches the trees and soaks the ornamental vines: front, side, and back.
Because, in my dotage, I forgot about this as the cleaning lady was charging around in the house, now it will be well into the night-time hours before all the hose-dragging is done.
Matter of fact, it probably won’t get done tonight. I’ll have to go out there tomorrow and wrestle with hoses in the morning.
