I have been real happy with my sprinkler system. I designed and installed it all 18 years ago. I know who to blame for problems.

I have 99 spray heads in 10 sections.
At least every other trip here to SoCal, I end up repairing some part(s) of the sprinkler system. While working on it earlier today, my neighbor came by to chat and he confirmed what's now obvious to me, that the system has been extensively cobbled together and patched up over the years by the previous owner. I had a broken plastic pipe nipple (no lube!) and broken thin-wall pipe at one sprinkler head. I found another sprinkler head buried about 3-4 inches underground, but still attached. I discovered that after I noticed a wet spot where it seemed like there was a big gap between sprinkler heads.

Tonight is Taco Tuesday! $0.99 tacos! Mmmmmmm.
