I stopped to pick up rent from a few students...I have some new ones from Nigeria...They had not figured out how to turn the heat on yet...It was below 50F degrees in their apartment, and we have had several nights down to 30F or below....Brrrrr I showed him how to operate the thermostat, and a big smile came across his face when heat started coming out the registers....lol I had showed his room mate last month but there's a bit of a language barrier I guess. Great people though... friendly, clean, polite, here working on their masters degrees.

Glued the standoff for the sprinkler and installed it and the the housing. Ran the water for a moment to clear any dirt out of the line. Installed the internals of the sprinkler and it was leaking around the top. shut off the sprinklers, tightened the top, still leaking...? Took the top off and found a Bermuda grass runner had wrapped itself under the top of it. Pulled out the runner and ran it, works fine. Re aimed and adjusted the sprayer. Need to put a little more dirt around it, but it works now.

I know right...These guys probably have brilliant minds, have already had countless years of college, and yet can't operate a Honeywell round thermostat? And we have a good rapport, they could have called and asked.

Here comes FedEx with Regalia ;-)

I grew up with a Honeywell round thermostat, and the grim Teutonic invocation never to herumscheissen with it.

My parents kept the house cold all year. In the summer, windows were my friend.

In the winter

Now it’s a rectangular Honeywell thermostat i have.



Thank goodness I could Google the impressively detailed user manual.

Look up the manual for the fans I posted earlier - the damn things were for an entirely different fan FFS.
Got her done though, the first took about 2 hours to figure out, #2 went in in about 25 minutes.



This whole retirement thing feels like work so far.
