Hope this is still active. I have my sprinkler system controller in my garage. I have valves for the front yard sprinklers and valves for the back. My controller will still turn on front yard sprinklers, but not the backyard. It usedan to wor fine. The connections seem tight at the controller. Don't see any loose connections by the valves though it is somewhat complex looking at there. The valves will turn on the sprinklers if turned manually. How can I check for loose connections versus wire shortages. Not sure if relevant, but we (gardener) did change front yard sprinkler stations prior to the backyard issue started. But I can't remember if the backyard sprinklers were working after that for a short period of time or not. Thanks for any help.

Jeff - you only grow what you like or until such a time as you can grow what you like. That's the deal. Poor, starving, or comfortable. You can go to the bottom of this page and click on "member homepage" or something like that. Watch out for internet freaks! Good luck! So far I've been told how to talk, what's considered 'generational' political correctness (euphemism); literally stalked to the point that I was scared; told I shouldn't be allowed to post because of my delusional disorder ------------------GOOD LUCK "SIR"! And your email won't get dispursed if you don't allow for it to be visible to everyone which doesn't mean to say you cannot still use the Garden Web 'method' of "allowing members to contact you." You'd be a fool not to allow members to contact you quite honestly. Again, your email is not shown (when a member contacts you) - so no harm, no foul. The option is there, so you can't go wrong. It's just like life here man. It always sounds better when "I" speak of course. You hear me? Dax

Good to have rain, sorry Debra that you missed it. They are predicting another of the cool weather periods next week. It is unbelievable to have two sets of cool, comfortable weather in July here. I am glad to see it because I am busily reworking my daylilies. I have several friends and a couple of forum friends I am sending plants too, so no guilt about taking them out. kay

Thanks everyone. I already know that I have to take him to the vet( which I did last night) and I know that there can be hundreds of reasons. I posted this to discus some of those reasons.and hear experiences. That s why forums are for, right? :) However, I really appreciate your concerns. The wet did a glucose test, but it was ok. He said Tommy was dehydrated, so they gave him some fluid, and when the doc gave him some treats he immediately started eating. I couln t believe , at home he wouldn t eat anything. The wet said it could be psychological too. That he got scared of something very bad and stopped eating.He gave him pills to stimulate apetite and said to come back if it doesn t help. At home he went straight to the food bowl and took two small bites, he drank water too, and this morning he.didn t eat again before I left for work.
