Monday

 

We left for Clearwater Beach at 7:30 this morning, after walking Toby during sunrise in the neighborhood. 

John jogged while I did stretching.

It was mostly cloudy but a comfortable 78 degrees.

There was a mist hanging over downtown Clearwater as we headed back to the mainland.

Sunny, looking south from the tidal bridge east of Clearwater Beach. John dropped me off at Weaver park in Dunedin for strength training before I headed home for lunch.

After lunch, I disassembled the rain sensor from the gutter. It hasn't functioned for at least as long as we've lived here.

I was able to pull the wire from the inside of the garage, through the attic, over to the soffit, and out to the gutter.

I cleaned up the outside of the electrical panel.

And tidied up a bit. This area is always a mess because there's always something going on. I'm waiting on Amazon for our surge protector for the new sprinkler controller. Then I'll zip tie the loose cords to keep them from getting snagged on something.

I tested all six zones of our sprinkler system again, and this time I took pictures (see above) while each zone was operating so that I could enter them here in the app. I also named each zone to help me remember which sprinkler heads were in each zone.

A thunderstorm was on the way, so we loaded up Toby in the golf cart and drove to Stirling Park before dinner.

We could feel the cool breeze ahead of the rain even though the weather station said it was 82 degrees.

We made it home after just a few sprinkles, but then we got the full fury.

Late delivery at 7:45 p.m.

All hooked up and cords managed

small but powerful
