I took the new transformer for the sprinkler system out to the house today. I hooked up the new part, turned on the system, and voila!! We have water being sprinkled. And not a minute too soon. The grass has turned brown, and the sprinklers should help get it looking good. There are approximately 30 sprinklers arranged in 3 groups. Some of them have been damaged and are not spraying like they should, and some others need adjusting, but it's nice to finally get the system repaired. Tweaking it should not be that hard. One good thing about the system is that it is provided water by the well, and Terri doesn't have to pay the city for that water. She does use city water for the house needs.
Terri and I went into town today to look at some apartments. She hopes to be able to be moved and settled by the time Thomas gets back from his visit with his dad. It's much easier to do this type of work without him under our feet. Moving out will allow us to clean the house one last time, and touch it up as needed until it is sold. In addition, school starts here in just over two weeks, and looking for an apartment early will allow her to have the time to find a place so Thomas doesn't have to change schools. We looked at five separate complexes, and the first two appear to be good candidates. We are going back to those two tomorrow for another look at them. If everything is still okay, Terri intends to pick one of them to lease.
We have been concerned about what to do about the dogs since Terri decided to sell the house. We put the word out that we were looking for homes for the dogs. Today, we received offers for all three of the dogs, and all of them will be adopted by people who have room for them to roam like they do now. The two males will be adopted by one family, while the female will be adopted by a lady who really likes her. It is very difficult for Terri to give them up, but she knows that it is best for the dogs.
After all these positive developments today, I'm wore out.
More later, be safe.

You may want to reconsider getting rid of the dogs, they would make good warning devices for the compound after you get it set up. Oh by the way I ran into a group that is looking for a place that they can use for their meetings and they were wondering if you would be interested in joining their movement. I told them I would forward their offer on to you.
The only movement we are interested in joining is our truck and RV going down the road.
