And then when can you go straight to crank?

I now believe that it's my right and that I am fully ready to take up the mantle of Curmudgeon.

I finally bought one of those motion sensor sprinklers. I set it to "fire" after 15 seconds of a "presence".

It must be working. Whoever was letting their dog crap on my lawn at 4am has now decided to gift someone else's lawn.

And it has even convinced that really loud guy to stand in front of another property when he is smoking and yelling in some language other than English into his cell phone for what had seemed like hours at a time.

So. Do I qualify or do I qualify?
 
I don't see a problem at all.

I like the idea of the motion triggered sprinkler. I think I'd hook up a secondary pump to the water line to provide near-fire truck pressure to any point on my front lawn/driveway.
 
Great question. I would like to know the answer to that one, myself. However, what you did with the sprinkler is great and does not qualify you as a grouch or curmudgeon.
 
I could sure use a sprinkler like that!

Yes...
You qualify.

And, what I like about it is:
It's a progressive addiction:

I see nothing wrong here. In fact I agree and I would be doing the same thing! BTW, I think the guy was speaking Chinese!!.....LOL
 
I would say you're more of an inspiration than curmudgeon

My only question is where do I get one and can I fill the line with blue dye to catch their person or dog?
 
I like dogs. It's the damn inconsiderate lazy ass owners that I want to give the soaking to. The dogs actually seem to like the water.

And the huge raccoons that wander up and down my driveway actually love the hosing. They stand right in front of it and it brushes their teeth for them.

And here is a representative sprayer like I am using. I hope it's OK to post a link. AG doesn't sell this type of product so it's not in competition.

I wonder if my neighbor has a distaste for water spots as I do...and as I do for her two dogs crapping in my yard? Bwwwaaahhhhhhaaaaaaaaaa!!!!!! I have found my solution.

I've been nice and neighborly about it for several years now...
First asking politely for her to watch her dogs so they don't mess in my yard. The first was after I carried it into my house via the bottom of my shoe. Months more role by dodging the land mines in my front yard (our dog messes next door in the mother-in law's yard...he he ha ha ho ho) when I mow grass and I hate stepping in it when I mow let alone any other time. Many times the wifey kept me silent so as to be a good neighbor. Then I couldn't stand it any longer and started sending the neighbor polite text messages about her dogs. I really kept them polite and she really defended that it wasn't here dogs. I guess it was a ghost that I took pictures of letting her dogs out the front door for hours instead of it being her brother letting them out. I mean, really? I've watched her brother let them out while she's at work.

Then another person moved in up the street and this old lady's dog chewed through the privacy fence, so now the dog roams free everyday laying land mines where he see's fit.


...so now it's time for war. Oh believe me...it's not the dog's fault. It's the nice, but still pesky irresponsible owner that just lets their dogs out and walks back into the house. Yes, this sprayer could potentially fix my issue with the dogs...but now it's not the dog's I'm after. It's the owner. Can you say...WATER SPOTS!!!

EDIT:
As much as I'd like to send a message by spotting up her car, I cannot bring myself to do something like that. I will be sending her pictures of her dog's running from the sprinklers though. :)
