That sure is one way to lose weight, stop eating. I dropped 30 pounds by just cutting by eating smaller portions, and few cookies or other snacks.
My wife tried to water one of the multiple flower bed yesterday that I set up with drip irrigation. That area was once part of the yard that I mowed, and I had laid irrigation pipes for spray heads. We converted it to a flower bed, and I was tasked with converting it to drip irrigation. I always overbuild, and my sprinkler system is supplied by a 1.5 horsepower 220 Volt water pump in a well that is 225 feet deep. All 1.5 inch mains and stubbed off the 3/4 inch sections. When I finished it I had 99 spray heads and 18 gallons per minute per section. I put it in back in 1998, and it has been flawless, and wonderful.
So I had 3/4 inch PVC in the ground in the now flowerbed, and had to hook that to the 1/4 inch flexible tubing. I found a connector that went from 3/4 inch to the garden hose connection. Then a fitting that went from a garden hose to a 1/4 inch fitting. The connection was stepped and broken. Now I "get" to dig it all up, and lower that connection and replace the fitting. It is supposed to be close to 80 today, so I may have to change from jeans to shorts.
