but I finally got the sprinkler system working. well... i don't know if 'I' did nesseccarily but one very nice looking guy (who works with his shirt off if your interested) and some $$$ later all the 50 year old valves were replaced. Now the grass and vegetable garden are finally looking a tad better. I am thinking it's not quite green enough so I might have to call sprinkler guy back... just trying to do my roommates a favor.

It's HOT here in the slc. For the past two weeks it's actually been hotter inside my house then out. boo. I thought I had the hang of things this year and took the cover off the unit outside and took the plug out. Well folks, the house just wouldn't cool down. I decided to call my Home Insurance. Thing is they charge you $55 just to show up but everything after that is covered. Big sis A was nice enough to stop by to let the guys in. I was certain it was just a dumb cooling thing that needed a lil fixin. Later I talk to sis A to see how it went... turns out you are supposed to flip that plug I took out and plug it back in the other way. I had to pay $55 for someone to tell me that. hmmm.... how come I didn't remember that from last year. I am supposed to be learning how to do these things not forgetting them!! boo for bad memory and dumbness.
