Break From School... and Grades!

Had just over a week off, it was great. Stayed at my grandparent's place where my biggest worry (which actually wasn't trivial) was trying to keep my dog from digging up the grass and harassing the skunk.

I failed on both counts....

Though Grandma, I forgot to grab garlic before I left!!

Got my grade for the last hardware class, got a B!! It keeps me at a 3.3 and hopefully this Ethics class will be another A to bring that up a touch. I'm running out of classes to get good grades in to bring my gpa up! If I can I really want to graduate with a 3.5.

I'll write a whole bunch on Ethics after I finish my homework. I don't blog much with computer courses because there really isn't a lot to talk about, but this one I should have stuff to spout off into the ether.

As far as house stuff goes I have a 'handyman' coming Friday afternoon to clean up the back yard and give me an estimate on finally getting the irrigation system to where I want it. Less dead plants that way hopefully. I want everything that is either in the ground or attached to a fence (or a trellis) to have automatic watering leaving just the potted stuff for manual. That way I can move the potted stuff around. The thing is my system has more than a few 'zones' and I'd like to use all of them, one for the trees (long but only three times a week), one for the roses (not as long but every other day or so) and one for 'everything else' (short daily). I want everything on drippers also, which may solve a lot of the issues, just give some things bigger drippers than others, and it will save water.

This project may be more than I'm ready to pay for right now but even if we can get everything on automatic and I just do the trees extra manually it will solve a lot of stress.
