What did you accomplish today?

@shnkim I was looking for a hose that's comparable to the one I have that's an easy 20 years old. But it looks like craftsman changed the design and I couldn't give my opinion on the new design. But it's the rubber one that isn't exactly round but more octagon.

My old hose.....

Don't leave it coiled in the sun under pressure for half a day is all I've got to say

Doesn't that degrade quickly in sunlight?

I've got a minimum of 20 years on this one and it doesn't need to be replaced anytime soon.

They used rubber in the brewery and also on the golf course.

Ask the pro shop what the course uses.

My wife being able to coil and stow it is a consideration too, but thanks

They are heavier but I do find coiling it is easier. Since it doesn't have memory like vinyl and want to stay in whatever shape it was in.

Try it if you like.

The problem I have with the rubber ones is they tend to get hung on stuff, like the tires when I wash the car or stuff in the shop ( rubber air hoses ) but I have one that is 30 + years old. Nylon slides real nice.

Knee bends done
Dogs out, in, fed
Checked trykes on 3 Sun Ra F2, very few clear tricks left, coming down very soon

I changed 150 4’ florescent t8 light bulbs this morning before 11am . It’s not unusual for me to 240 bulbs a day , that’s why I rarely mention what I accomplished because it’s so damn mundane. I didn’t do shit for the rest of the day.

I always had pretty good luck with Swan premium rubber hoses. Gilmour and Dramm make good professional hoses too.

Last week's hikes.

I actually slept in till 7:30 when I woke up to a dog face about 4" away. Thanks Rox...

Veggies are all watered including the Colombian maple tree, don't see any aphids on any of the plants yet. They usually end up killing the zucchini plants. I'll mix up some soap/neem in a spray jug in case they show up. Tomatoes and zucchini looking healthy. Got the cages in around the tomatoes, need to pound in a couple posts still. Plenty of blackberries on the plants, netting coming today to keep the birds on the feeder and off the berries.
Bird feeder filled, should start seeing goldfinches on it now along with the house finches. Them puppies are BRIGHT!
Cut out a few more dead branches from the roses. Gardenia bush is blooming well and is more green after giving it a couple jugs of iron mix. The Milkweed plant I put in for the Monarch Butterflies is growing nicely, I think I'll feed it and see if I can attract some this year. The geranium is blooming profusely, it is a bright red and really jumps out at you being under the roses. I should do a pictorial walk through the yard, lol.

I washed all the pups, did physical therapy to the raven and am in negotiations with the baby raven's parents to come get it! They don't want to feed it either apparently
