Eccentric...not crazy. lol I got up Sunday thinking it was Monday. I made coffee and decided to phone my doctor's office for some info I needed. His line rang and rang and noone answered. I got annoyed, wondering if this man ever worked. He and his receptionist seemed to be out of his office more often than in it. For the next hour I tried a few more times, until my girlfriend phoned me to chat. I asked her why she was not working at her volunteer job...and she said..."because this is Sunday." (silence) "oh" I said. (I didn't tell her about phoning my doctor's office.) So that's how my Sunday started. Now I am old enough to know that when a day starts like that for me...it usually isn't the last thing that will happen that day. LOL I tried not to think about it though. I puttered around my yard doing this, that and the other. Summer is so short in central Canada, so we have to 'make hay while the sun shines'. I decided to set the sprinkler in my garden while I puttered, so pulled the hose out to my garden bench, and sat down to screw the sprinkler onto the hose end. What the heck...the sprinkler didn't fit. I tried again, but no go. I squinted into the sprinkler end and sure enough, there appeared to be a piece missing. I went back to my shed and looked around on the shelf and on the floor for a little piece that might look like it belonged to the sprinkler end. Hmmm. No luck. Maybe if I moved some things out of the way...I could search better. I started carrying things out of the shed and while I was at it, I kind of started to tidy up a bit. No sprinkler end thingie though. I hauled everything back into the shed. Then I thought maybe it was the hose end that was wrong...so I hopefully grabbed another length of hose from the shed, went back to my bench, where I attached the extra hose to the existing hose. Ahha....maybe this will work. Nope...it didn't. OK. Well that left me only one thing to do. Zip to the hardware store with sprinkler in hand and find a piece that would fit. Off I went. Got there and pushed on the door and it would not open. Of course. It was Sunday. Harware store is closed. Sighhh. Back home I went. When I came back home...deep in thought about this sprinkler, I decided to see if it would fit onto my hose in the front yard. It didn't. Drats. Back to my garden bench. Tried to fit the sprinkler on again. Danged if it didn't fit this time!!! "What the?????" says I. I am almost too embarrassed to tell you all this...but I actually spent all that time with that &^%&*&^%$ sprinkler...and never once did it enter my mind to look at the OTHER end of it. Yep....I was trying to fit the wrong end onto the hose. So anyone out there who thinks they are getting forgetful...or doing ...um...unusual things...you might not feel so bad now. LOL I am NOT going to tell you about the third craz....um....eccentric thing I did that day. Ciao for now... PrairieSky
