Day 4 - Andy Encounters His First Setback

We stockpiled light bulbs, socks, envelopes, paper, packing tape, epoxy, stamps, contact lenses, pens, batteries, canning jars, paint, thread, car fuses, and gifts. The one thing we know we missed:

Duct tape.

Andy was trying to set the drip line/hose in one of the garden beds, and as a true male of the species, was going to fix it with duct tape. I did offer the duct tape Bandaids, but I don't think Andy was amused. Instead, in the best think-outside-the-box fashion, this:
was achieved with pieces of this

a gardening implement known to the rest of us as a "hula hoop."

You know what they say--Necessity is the Parental Unit of Invention.....
