I find myself second guessing just about anything I do anymore, from
locking the house, to turning off the lights to putting the shop door
down when I leave etc etc etc. The list is endless.

I left the irrigation system for the garden on one time and we were
gone for 4 days.........I created a nice bog by the time I got back,
and wow, what a water bill I had that month! I now also have one of
those timers. I figured it has paid for itelf a hundred times already,
in water bills. You only intend to let the water run 10 minutes, and
those 10 minutes turn into hours as usually other things pop up and
you get side tracked.
