Lowe's for hose

On the way back from the dollar movies yesterday, we checked out Lowe's. The high-quality hose that the NuPants bestowed upon us was finally crimping too much to use. How long they had it is unknown, but it's been in use at this establishment for at least six years. The hose bib released the old item and the new one went on fine. One thing is now known: the better the quality, the heavier the hose. We replaced an old cheapie hose that was beginning to be a problem, and the new item is much more trouble to drag around. We've been complying faithfully, as always, with the Austin watering schedule. Once every five days does work, but for those without irrigation systems, there's quite an investment in early rising. Our yard looks better than the yards of the Secret Soakers who have their sprinkler systems running all night every night (pause to gloat).
