Replacing all my outside water lines. About 200 feet. I rented a ditch witch cuz digging in Texas sucks. Also digging and installing a French drain. That is if it stops raining. Ugh, just my luck that it would rain when I have this planned and the machine rented.

Funny you mention this. I've been in the process of installing my sprinkler system for the last 8 years. Got the front yard done a couple months ago when it was still cool out. Had a really good nap this afternoon after an early day off work and decided to start hand digging the trenches for the backyard; this included a 40 foot stretch of hill on the side of the house to get down to the backyard. I dug tonight until it was dark then called it a night, about 80 feet by hand. Got too cheap to rent a trencher at $100 a day. Most of this stuff is sand around here and pretty easy to dig. The digging tonight sucked as it was a heavy mix of compacted dried out red clay, slow going. Should be able to start dropping pipe in tomorrw, hope to wrap this up once and for all this weekend.
I was going to start the weekend out by adding a new 30 amp outlet from the breaker panel for the travel trailer so we can run the air conditioning when we clean it out, but for some reason grabbed the shovel instead! I've got lots of parts for home improvement project sitting in the garage, just need to get the motivation to get out and start working on them!
After working on the sprinklers, we're planning on going to Ponce De Leon Springs to flop around in the constant 64 degree water---brrr! It comes out of a springs and no matter how hot or cold out, is always the same temperature. It'll be nice as our temps have been up to 90 degrees with about 90 percent humidity---yuck!
