I'd been noticing a squooshy wet spot in my neighbors lawn adjacent to my garden.
It wouldn't dry up.
Last night I told Tim we should go over to her house and let her know she probably had a leak in her underground sprinkling system.
So we did.
We asked her if we could dig for her and try to find the leak.
She said "please".
So we did.
We found a sprinkler line running directly under the squooshy spot but oddly it was in perfect condition - no leak.
It got dark.
We postponed our investigation.
This morning our neighbor had to go to work.
Tim had the day off so he put on his camouflage clothes and went to Walmart. (Don't ask).
I decided to resume the dig on my own.
I found the leak.
A weed paper stake had worked it's way through the MAIN...I repeat, M-A-I-N...sprinkler line.
And I rediscovered my knack for saying a few choice words when it's appropriate for the situation. 
THE END

Hil-a-rious. Absolutely hilarious. I still want to know why Tim put camo on to go to WalMart. Who took the photos??? I think your blog is one of my favorites!
Tim was planning on hunting that day, hence the camo. I just thought it was funny because there's an email going around called "The people of Walmart' and a picture of Tim in his camo at Walmart would be a perfect addition.
Tim got home shortly after the incident and went straight for the camera.
seriously, i'm wetting my pants! you need to publish your blog from day one into a book liv.
