Yesterday afternoon I trimmed trees to get to the pipe line for the repair. Also took out some dry weeds along the pipe. Got more of that to do. I drug limbs I lopped off the field to the burn pile. Need to get a burn permit when I go up town. Need to mow around the burn piles and get the hose put out there. Next Friday son said he will haul me a piece of pipe to put in. Farm store will cut pipe and not have to haul a 30' piece.

Did more of the same yesterday. Pipe line total feet is over 600 feet long. Goes from front of place to the back fence. I will cut a bit more brush (trees) out today. I missed a few but got the pipe across the garden about cleared on the front side and I will not worry about behind it. Got to spray that clump grass. They put 4 practise base balls in my garden Friday while I ate supper. Need to go yell at the rec dept. Need haul out the stuff I have cleaned so have to repair the drag to haul it out to burn pile. Got the 1 x 2 to do it. Have to haul by hand on the garden as I do not want drive on with the car.
Back feels better today. Maybe storms are over and plus getting use to the work.

Yesterday after I got back from town. Doctor was not there and no one called me he would be gone. Had appointment. Got my bill straightened out from the hospital clinic. Billing is in the nursing home I found out. I go in 17 th now. Farm store did not have in potatoes and onion. Suppose have been in.
Started on jacking up the pipe where it sank in the mud. I drug in wood to put under it. Laid it out every ten feet. I started prying up the pipe. 6 inch and got about 100 feet done. I gave out then. Getting colder out then. I had walked my mile between getting back from town and starting on the pipe. I am feeling it this morning.

Irrigation pipe was repaired yesterday . Got it up and block all across the big garden. Still need to go on through to small garden and get it up, and that gets the gated up. Son did repair and put an extra 10 foot piece in the Garage. I have trimed along the pipeline. Still some weeds to get rid of. Brush is cut. I have several tree limbs that hang over garden that need to be cut off. Valve works freely this year. Last couple years been stuck in the spring. Got to get the mower up and running. Farm store has the potatoes and onions in so need to get out there and get them. Mow around the brush piles and get the hoses hooked up. Firedept says must have working hose.
Rain night before last so muddy. Predicting more it seems the garden center is. Weather report does not. CA storms. If dry enough will haul the grass and brush I got off the pipe line today. If too wet will block up more pipe. I have to carry blocks is two at a time through the plums. I need mark which plums I will cut off to try grafting another plum to the root.
