I finished the spraying today, but it didn't start out well. The new wand leaked like a sieve. It took me awhile to figure out why. The fitting I bought is cut square. A hose has a taper at the end. The fitting wasn't sealing against the wand. A second hose washer fixed the problem.
The new rig doesn't spray as efficiently as the other. I use a lot more poison. I'm going to try to find away around this. I did manage to get everything finished. There was a whole thistle forest in the back that was hiding behind a tree.
I woke up this morning with an idea to make the switches a little more efficient. I redid the plan, which changed the requirements a lot.
After that I did ebay. I bought the switches I'm going to need. I also got a brand new power supply for about half what it costs online. I'm waiting now to bid on a engine house kit.
The squirrel finally pissed me off. He showed up and I shot him in the ass with the pellet gun. We haven't seen him since. There are actually two squirrels. I wonder if he told his buddy to stay away.
Last evening there was a deer eating seeds that had dropped from the feeder. It just stood there when I opened the door. I let Lucy go after it and the both took off running. Lucy gave up by the time she got to the swimming pool. She knows it's hopeless.
