"My precious!!!!

"
G'Day
8°/18°C today, partially cloudy...
Needed 2 cups as bump-start this morning...

Yeah, gardening season starts...
Mowed the lot, fixed some 5 meters railing at the property boundary behind the house, so the suicidal mower robot can't hurl himself off that cliff there...
Tried to give the irrigation pump a go, but no avail; the casing of the darn flow-switch/protection has decided to give in over the winter (odd since I'd purged all plus blown through with compressed air)...
Good thing it wasn't plugged it in yet (noted it while priming pipes, filter and casing with city water), as the crack is hidden right behind the PCB inside, flooding the entire housing...
Fancy thing is running without any direct mechanical connection, just two reed-switches sensing the magnets inside...
Dropped an email to the distributor, they already acknowledged, will get an offer next week...
(hardware stores have only some Einhell, starting at about € 70,-... )
GF still outside picking weeds, relocating blooming things, planting some veggies... (and complaining about snails

)
Guess I'll get the robot online...
cheers!
