Garden Watering Apparatus

Few things make me more upset than losing something.  I had ordered an adafruit 12volt solenoid valve for my automatic garden watering project but was so busy for the first part of the summer with work that I just put it on the shelf.  Now I have time to work on the project and I cannot, for the life of me, find the darn thing anywhere.  And it really could be anywhere between having a wife that is constantly (although unintentionally) hiding things on me and four sons under the age of 7 that always seem to be tucking my things under the couch cushions.  So after a week or two of turning the house upside down, I finally broke down and ordered another valve.  It is now here and I can get started on things now that I have the week off work.  We'll see what I can get done between beach time and changing diapers.  ♂️

    ...and now that you got the valve replacement, sure enough the old one will reappear, just to annoy you! I hope you have a fruitful week. Fabio.

    I can sympathize. It never fails, as soon as I get rid of something, I need it for the next project. If I buy something and do not use it immediately, it disappears until I order its replacement. These…

    I often have the opposite issue, where I buy something online and by the time it gets here I've forgotten what it's for!

    I've been there and done that, and luckily I only have a wife that shifts things. image

     

    What annoys me more is that I order something for a project, I know I have put it somewhere, and I can't find it ... without any outside help ....image

    These things just happen.
