Hands = Hamburger

But every sprinkler head now sprinkles. Man, that system hadn't been serviced since the 60's. Had to cut out huge roots, cut out corroded tees, replace heads and sprayers, solenoids and valves and drain caps oh my... not to mention hacking my way through myrtle, Austrian Copper (ouch!) and holly (double ouch!) to get to some of the heads.

Time to let the hands heal.

Foot Balm

Domo arigatoo gozaimasu! I've found that Bag Balm also works very well - it's a bit greasy, so I apply it at night and then put on a pair of latex exam gloves. A couple of nights of that and I'm back in business, but I'll try this other as well.

Do not touch my moustache!

Jafra's good stuff. And foot balm, since it's base is peppermint, also makes a great salve for sunburns. The peppermint tricks the body into cooling down rather than continuing to cook.

Have th best
