Tonight's adventure surrounded getting the fountain running again out back.
Last year, I don't think I ever got there. Yesterday, I tried running it. The pump obviously was running, but water couldn't get through the frog statue. This morning, I realized this was probably due to the fact that the statue was resting on the supply hose for so long, it was pretty much squished. I went to a nursery for a new piece of supply hose. Still no luck. Tried running a piece of coat hanger down the throat and up the well, ass, of the statue. Nope. I've taken the frog to a gas station in the past, to use the air hose to clear it. As kind of a last ditch effort, I grabbed a can of compressed air like we use to clean computers and such, and whoops! Out came a nice stream of ugly green slop. Froggy runs just fine, now. :-)
