I have to learn how to set up my phone for a video selfie… all my fancy recording equipment that could make me sound better is buried in moving boxes because it has no place to live yet.

Today’s post is brought to you by cats.
I have noticed that our own family website does not have any categorization dedicated to cats and that is a mistake that I will fix: now.

Here is an influx of cat photos to make up for our lack of cat only posts, thank you

It was time to treat the cats for various things for which which need to treat cats. In order to dose them correctly we would have to know how much they weigh.
I ran into the problem that the scale was packed away in “greater interior of uncivilized garage of moving boxes” and I wasn’t going to find it any time soon because we packed sorted by “usefulness”. Fortunately the Wii Fit was packed in a very easy to find “gaming box”. So with a little Bluetooth incantation and Python scripting I was able to use the fit board to weight the cats. It’s great because they rarely stay on a scale for more than a few seconds so I can just scroll through the history to get the average.
We were able to treat the cats and all is well.
For the record
Subbie: 13.6 lbs
Mingus: 13.9 lbs
Parker:13.1 lbs

I think it was Robert Frost that spake: Something there is that doesn’t love your irrigation hose going over the wall and water some of the trees on the mountain.
The first time we found a gusher of a leak because something had apparently chewed through the hose in one place and most of the water headed for Cirtus Hill was actually just running down to the mountain drain.
I went to the depot and got supplies to patch that and all was well with the world. But then two weeks later Mariel said something about “I think there’s a leak again”. This time the house was decimated… literally. And torn asunder with malice. First thought would be that something was pulling it apart to get water, right? But it’s at the top of the hill, so as soon as you start pumping to it the water should fall. AND after the first three tears the animal(s) made in the hose the water would be gone too. So, I yielded and pulled the hose from that side. Let the drought take what it will from over the wall.
Winter is coming.

The good thing about sourcing the cheapest of parts so that you can monitor the soil moisture of your yard and gardens is that they are cheap!
The bad part is that every other one you buy might need to be cracked open so that you can re-solder a bad joint before it works. And that’s going to take at least a week to find the iron, and another week to find the solder.
If time is money then I am WAY over budget.
