  My recent purchase of a Gilmour hose-end impulse sprinkler. 
  It seems to be very difficult to get a good sprinkler now, 
  I grew up using Nelson (painted yellow) sprinklers, but even 
  they seemingly are of much lesser quality.
  Anyway, my problem is to find a reasonable and quick way to 
  add weight (other than to carry a brick) to the base of the 
  unit.  Unfortunately the base is plastic, however there are many 
  cavities that something could be poured into to help stabilize 
  the sprinkler.
  Any suggestions?
  Thanks.

This is shoptalk, dang it!!!  Use a brake rotor!!!
