Another long Saturday. It feels like most Saturday's of late have been of this variety as oppossed to the kicking back and relaxing variety.
I started the day by getting Jenna and Kayla ready and taking them over to the start of their Goldilocks bike ride. They ended up going an impressive 50 miles. I took my bike as well and went for a ride after they started. I rode out to Bachus highway and then home for a total of about 20 miles and then immediately went for a 4.5 mile run. It has been a couple years since I have done a bike/run brick and I could feel it. My legs were very weak and it felt like I was going super slow. Fortunately, the weather was beautful and it was nice to be out.
As I was walking 20 yards back to the house to cool off, I looked at my phone and I had a text from Jenna that her and Kayla were about two miles away... and the text was five minutes old. I quickly ran into the house and grabbed the camera and jumped into the car and was able to get some photos of them as they rode their bikes right behind our house. It was fun to drive next to them as they rode.
From here is where the not so fun began. I proceeded to go to Lowes and two different sprinkler supply stores to find a replacement pump for our irrigation system. I finally went to Home Depot and found something that would work and was about 1/3rd the price of the sprinkler store. There was a lot of cuting PVC pipe and glueing and wiring and what not, but I only had to go back to Home Depot one time to get more supplies. I will have to wait to test it out until tomorrow as the glue needs time to set up. I sure hope everything works right. It feels like we have been putting a ton of time into the yard this year and I want it to look good.
