A mind of its own.

The kids got me a very cool hose.  When it's not in use it shrinks. 

 

In order to get it to grow you twist the valve closed, turn on the water and the hose expands.  Once it has expanded you open the valve.  Very cool.

 

However, I must of been a little slow getting to the point where I open the valve and there was a giant bubble that blew.  Dang it.

 

I cut the hose to see if I could fix it like you do a regular hose.  Not happening.  I decided to just soak the ground until I could purchase a new hose.  When I came out to switch the hose, this is what I found.

 

 

 

Well, alrighty then.  Works for me.
