Morning all. Had a horrible night's sleep. We found out last night why you should not use cheap garden hose when the hose split to our garage cooler and flooded the back yard.

That evening, I set up all the battery operated timers to water the landscaping and gardening by turning the valves on and off, and I had pictures all night of the entire backyard looking like this because a valve stuck on, so didn't sleep hardly at all.

Fortunately, everything worked the way it should, and the flood waters have receeded. We both shudder to think what would have happened if that had split when we were in Vegas. It would have had to flood all the way into our neighbor's yard behind us for them to notice, which would have put the entire garden and greenhouse underwater by alot.

So we are putting a really good hose on all the coolers before we come.

Here's to hoping everyone has a flood-free kinda day.
