I was thinking maybe this weekend. Tried to drive the jeep in to work today.
Five miles down The road. Could not find the clutch pedal. It was just a swinging. I'll have to figure out what happened when I get home today.
I'm gonna try and hit Rampart this weekend just to see how it's driving. See if anymore clutch pedal issues areise.

I can't find my clutch either!
More seriously, I've heard that little clip holding the slave to the pedal arm can pop off fairly easily. One of the springs guys had this happen a few times on a trail last year.
New HDPE and reusing most of what I can find. My experience is that pvc gets fragile just after a few years and I think its because the clay swells. It seems the main lines are ok for the most part. There are a few areas I've had to repair, however the swing lines are broken and buried.
I found 10 sprinklers so far in the backyard. I have to find the first one, cap the line, then turn the system back on to build pressure so I can find the next one downstream. Its a bit time consuming. I think there are a few others I am missing, especially along the rock wall.
This one here actually functioned. It just couldn't pop up for obvious reasons. This one is going to be replaced with a port manifold and water decorative grasses and/or shrubs with above ground 1/4" tubing. The upstream sprinkler from this, is located directly below the deck
This one is going to be moved likely to the corner of the yard in the top left of the photo. The swing fitting had broken and there was no sprinkler head found. From the cap you can see in the right puddle, Ill extend with new swing hose about 4-6'.
Similarly, this head was paved over. Once the pavers were removed, the head actually functioned. This one is going to be moved with new swing pipe and will be used in the corner of the yard which is only a couple feet behind me in the photo. I had to break away some roots from the maple tree unfortunately.
The wife is planning on a garden in this area. Ill install another 2-4 port manifold and this will be used to water the garden.
This is a break in the main 1" line. Its directly under roots from the lodgepole pine tree, which is what caused the break I am sure. I'll have to dig this one back a bit towards the pavers and will cap and build another swing. Another 2-4 port and above ground tubing will be used here for landscaping plants.
This one is my favorite. It sounds and looks like another main line break. A raised flower bed was built here and acccording to the neighbor, only a few years ago. So to get to it I am going to have to dig pretty far. Its daylighting in the back near the fence corner. I think I'll dig right in the center of the bed to try and find it, then build a new stand off with another manifold for shrubs that I will plant. We'll see what the root system is doing...
Colorado Axel is 64th and Lowell area. Old dude, all he does is gears and axels knows 4x4s

Thanks for the recommendation. I've been discussing the project with @hosejockey61, so will potentially be going that route.
You probably dont need it--but I can vouch for Mike and his installations. You'll definitely learn a few things too working in his shop. We've regeared both my axles and he's helped me replace some ARB journal orings for my rear locker.

Thanks! It's not difficult to see that he knows what he's doing, but I appreciate the feedback regardless.
That's an early morning! I will say getting the pedals out was one of the most frustrating parts of my auto swap, it's just all so hard to get to.
Behind my clutch pedal you'll see where I drilled a hole for the Diesel's wiring bundle.
The clutch pedal didn't like that.

Yep, there's a reason why most new irrigation systems are HDPE. I do not envy you. Irrigation already sucks enough, but when it was put together by a moron its even worse. We have a cross on one of our fairways that is under 3 truck loads of concrete. I've been told to just quit if it ever has any problems.
Early start times are the best. Get to work early, leave work early. Still got all afternoon to enjoy your life and sleep.
It's because it was an elimination game. They did suck on free throws and 3's though.
Yeah, at least got the job done and it being close made it feel more exciting than it really was. They were not playing as well as game 4, but fortunately the Heat kept yoloing 3s from way outside.
11 people shot downtown. Go Nugs! I was bartending downtown when Broncos won first Super Bowl. Everyone was tear gassed. People can’t act right
