Blow out

This morning I moved the irrigation pipes.  By the time I finished moving the pipes and checking that the sprinklers all were working (I had replaced one sprinkler while moving the pipes) Wyatt had delivered another load of hay bales.   After I moved the hay bales into the barn I saw a geyser in the hay field.  A sprinkler pipe had come out of the pipe.  I imagine that the vibration from the sprinkler head as it threw water loosened the pipe.




While the geyser gushed, the other sprinklers operated at a lower pressure.


Once I fixed the geyser all the sprinklers went back to full pressure.  And I was then able to eat lunch at 4 pm.  After that I slept for two hours.
