No swimming today

Day 160, "Every picture has a story"

"For sure" these pictures have a story and also several hundred $$ to boot.  Five years ago we had the pool drained and resurfaced.  This season we found several cracks in the new walls including one where the surface was away from the wall by about an inch!  The work is still under warranty BUT that does not include labor so there is a cost involved.  Perhaps this is true all over but I find warranties here in Florida strange.  You buy something and it is under warrenty for X numbers of years BUT if you need to have something fixed the labor is NOT included in the warrenty.  It makes no sense to me but it sounds companies are in it for only the money.  Yesterday the company sent a person to drain the pool and then two workers later on to scrap the loose cement.  Today I think it is putting on a bonding agent and then maybe work at repairing the walls.  It is a saline pool so do not know if that contributed to the damage.  We converted it from chlorine about 6 years ago.  

I think it will not be ready for use this week so no swim after tennis this morning.

I came to the conclusion last night that I am just plain old.  We were watching American Idol.  The talent on the show is really very very good BUT the dress is not in my world, which as I have said is now an "old world".  One of the men on the show came out with a wonderful voice and had pants on with huge holes in the knees!  My Mom would have patched them in a second!!!  So I am old and Mom is not here to patch so the show goes on!

Terry and I were so taken up with what ever that we did not go to our last book review Saturday.  Actually I think the reason was Ms. Newton was going to talk about the author but there was no certain book involved so it had NOTHING to do with being absent minded or old or busy!  That is my story and I am sticking to it.

The tennis courts have been extra busy as I think some people are getting in some last games before they head north.  I think several couples are staying down a bit longer as Easter is late this year and they go north for Easter.  The courts for me this Wednesday and Thursday were both put on overflow.  This time of the year it is not unusual to be on overflow once in a week but two days in a row--has not happened in the past.  Over flow means you are bumped off in the morning but most of the time you can go back in sometime in the afternoon.  However often people have things going on in the PM so that often does not work.  I have not decided what to do this week.  Maybe I should just try to get some work finished!

No I have one cup of FP in the pot yet and the cup by my side is cooling off so will go refill and then get some things done.
