And today’s self inflicted wound is

[caribbean20]

Christmas decoration stake makes a direct hit on not 1, but 2, parallel sprinkler lines. Spent 8 hours and counting tracking down this leak which didn’t show itself until bottom of sloping yard. Been that way all summer.

The yard now looks like that scene with the gophers from Caddyshack. I am the master of the self inflicted wound. My body of work in this area is unparalleled.

This post doesn’t involve boating content, but it DOES involve water.

Sometimes, you gotta think like Carl.

Level it with a plastic squirrel and rabbit.
Then concrete.

Dude, LAST CHRISTMAS. I’ve been pumping water into the ground aquifer all spring and summer

I did that also last Christmas. A hole started forming and I thought I had a gopher. Come to find out I drove a stake through the sprinkler line. Real drag. I feel your pain I’m dreading having to do it all over again this year. But the wife demands it dammit

For some reason I've just lost any remaining holiday season spirit I might have still had.

maybe this year I'll put christmas lights on the roof, ala- christmas-vacation movie Griswold style and spell out FUCK NEWSOME.

[Javajoe]

How did you do that?

A folding knife is not a screwdriver lol. It folded up under pressure. Happened really fast.

At least it was a clean cut. Must of scared ya though. Is the knife ok?

It takes me two hands to count how many times I have heard "I've never seen that before"!

The knife is in the garbage. The lock failed and I’m not smart enough to never do that again. I bought a better knife just Incase
