Thanks Derald, first hand help beats the hell out of ads on line. Was in
the local Lowe's this morning and they seem to have all I need in the
way of emitter gear.

My experience with the 1/4" brown stuff sold by Lowe's (in 2011)
was not positive—markedly uneven distribution. All I remember about it
is that it was purported to be made in Florida; probably have the label
around here someplace. Dunno about the rolls of black PVC 1/4" dripline
seen on my last visit (coupla months past), though. I buy from an
online source at comparable prices.

I usually check the local Lowe's or Home Despot on line and, considering
gasoline and wear and tear on vehicle, go to Amazon and get it shipped
free and, generally, at a lower price.

Right now I'm converting some swivel rattan chairs we bought in Hong
Kong years ago into chairs that don't swivel. Great grands take great
delight in ****ing off their parents by twisting the chairs around and
around. Might make Thanksgiving a bit more fun. G Wiley Chinese put
these thing together with magic but I finally found out how to remove
the swivel part without screwing things up gorgeously.
