Sorry I missed it. I was writing a book on how to fix a sprinkller head.

1. Hear problem about sprinkler head from wife.
2. Contemplate checking it out for myself.
3. Disregard #2, wife is very good at this kind of stuff.
3. Check supplies. Plumbers tape? Check. Same kind of head handy? No. All I have is full-circle stuff. This has to be half-circle.
4. Go to Lowe's. Buy stuff, plus $150 of other crap.
5. Get home. Discover sprinkler head in question has been straight-piped.
6. Go to Lowe's. get adapter I needed.
7. Get home, assemble items, discover my PVC glue is dried out (Duh, I live in the desert).
8. Go back to Lowe's. Buy PVC glue.
9. Fix supposedly 30-second-fix item.
10. Wife now has 1,354 additional items on list.
11. Buy wife bottle of tequila and flowers.
12. Take advantage of new situation by claiming responsibility is to cook tri-tip.

Bye..I gotta BBQ.
